Ahahahahah....you knew that I'm a professional musician? I should know the name of this in english!!!!

We call this a "clave de sol", in portuguese. Clave=clef (Clef is a french word wich means key), de=of, sol=G (musical note).

Thank you, David.

I'm sorry but my english is not so good, I don't know what is a "treble clef".

I've been rating it at 50 asa but, yesterday, I tried 64 asa, on these photos, I think I will go back to 50 asa, because the dark areas, which I aligned with Zone III, actually ended more on Zone II than III.
I'm still doing tests with this film, I didn't find yet the right combination Sensibility/Developer/Time.
This is a very cheap film, that's why I keep testing it, but, I use it for almost 2 years and still don't "know" him very well.
It has a major problem for landscape work, it has a tremendous reciprocity failure....

It tends to "block" the shadows, too, but, it has very nice middle tones.

On a close note, I usually expose Fomapan 100 @ EI 64, but recently, quite a lot of my images are overexposed by 1 EV, and a little shorter development is used (though I have reached my times by guess-work)... So it might be also something like @ EI 50 in reality...

Jiri, if you are rating it at 64 asa and they get overexposed by 1 EV then, you should rate it at 125 asa to get it right. Or am I wrong?

[Jiri Vasina]

Sorry Nana, I have written it completely wrong.

It should have been

On a close note, I usually expose Fomapan 100 @ EI 64, but recently, on quite a lot of my images I intentionally overexpose them by 1 EV, and a little shorter development is used (though I have reached my times by guess-work)... So it might be also something like @ EI 50 in reality...

Thanks a lot for the point

Here a couple of images from November 2010.

Zion NP - Virgin River


Horse Shoe Bend, AZ



Both taken with my self-made 4x5 Point and Shoot camera w/ Nikkor SW 65mm on Velvia 100 (RVP100).

Comments and critiques welcomed.

#1 is a stunning photo; number 2 would be as well ecept for the excessive magenta.

Thanks for you input Michael. One gets "tunnel vision" after staring at screen for a few hours :-)

How's this?

[msk2193]

Beautiful indeed.
I would still go into the distant mountain range, isolate that area and reduce the blue saturation a considerable amount. Normal to have blues in the distance, although the eye doesn't se it that way when we're out there.
Two winners now!!
