Nice, Heroique - a gordian knot in the forest.

Hi All. My first image post and my first frame of LF. I am pretty pleased with how this worked out for a complete noob. Shot at Girraween Nation Park in Queensland, Australia.
Would love to have some comments on how I can improve.

I had forgotten about this portrait oriented negative.

Fantastic!! I think it works great in a vertical.

This is a view of the Collegiate Range from the west side of Taylor Reservoir. The negative is on Portra 160VC framed to a 2x5 panoramanic by means of 1/2 darkslide, using a 90mm Angulon on a Technika IV. The scan is from an 8x20 print that was cropped on the sides to fit the scanner format.



The Taylor Reservoir is on the west side of Cottonwood Pass. State Highway 135 continues to follow the Taylor River to where the road ends at the junction in Almont. The river is very scenic with a lot of photogenic white water and on some stretches you will find rafters. For the tent and RV campers there are eight Forest Service Campgrounds between the Taylor Reservoir and Almont.

+1. And thank heavens you found it - it's a cracking shot ! I'd guess it wouldn't be bad in colour either.

I think the horizontal works well too but I find the dark background on the right-hand side unbalances the composition slightly.

This star trails view was made in Joshua Tree National Park. Again a 90 mm Angulon was used on the Technika IV. The film is HP5+, the exposure is f/11 for 15 minutes. The camera was set up in the Belle Campground. The lights in the sky to the north are from Twenty-nine Palms. The scan was made from an 11x14 print that was cropped to fit the format of the scanner.



I like to begin my night exposures for the last five or so minutes of nautical twilight so I have enough illumination on the horizon to discriminate the sky from the terrestrial silhouette.
