What a beautiful image; may I ask about some of the technical details, how it is printed, and how big the final print is?
hi david thanks for your nice comment ...
it is expired ilford delta 100 shot with a graflex slr.
i typically pull my film so this was over exposed probably by
4 or 5 stops, ( i shoot everything with this camera 1/15th + open ... this lens was @ 3.8 )
the film was processed in a strong caffenol c solution
cut with ansco 130 1:6 ... and i stand develop for about 20-30 mins
i haven't made the paper print yet but it will probably be barely enlarged,
or a contact print.
this is just a film scan, inverted.
the levels / contrast are barely tweaked ...
caffenol film tends to give great tonality and grain...
the film scans and prints with paper really nicely.

Great images everyone...

Great image, Jim.
Do you enlarge these photos on enlarger and fiberbase photographic paper, or you just use scanner and inkjet prints?
Jim, those Cowboy Trail images are fantastic!
Joel, just wanted to echo the great feedback you've received on your "2009 - A Photographic Year in Review." First Light and Winter Shadows are two of the most compelling images I've seen this year. Simply wonderful work.

Dear Nana,
But first, gentlemen thank you for your comments...
My 8X10 negatives are scanned with either an Epson 750 and, or with a drum scanner, and where the drum scanner is put into service when the Epson fails to extract the shadow detail information properly from a keeper negative. I develop a digital negative from that file to produce a print, going forward...
I have three digital output processes that I use and that I trust, where the first happens to be a digital proof from an Epson printer that is in continuous service locally, and incorporates "ImagePrint" as the RIP. The second process is a Jon Cone print where Jon provided me with a fabulous curve to fit my images perfectly, and lastly through Bob Carnie at Elevator Digital, where we are now working together to produce a silver based image through his digital enlarger. The printed images are "what I see is what I get" when compared against my calibrated monitor. They process my digital negative file with great care, fabulous expertise, and without interruption.
As a side note, my darkroom disappeared a few years ago, once I made a decision to remove my family and myself from that environment with specific intent to remove my son from the minor effects it caused with his sensitive skin condition, and because I happen to have very limited ventilated space within my home.
