Beautiful scene, Bradley. Before scrolling down, my task bar had cropped your pic just above the log which provided another perspective of this beautiful vista. Nice work.Originally Posted by bbuszard

Can't edit my post, must be too old.
Another from the Redwoods. I was chasing light rays too much. Did my best to reduce contrast but keep the light rays dominant and maintain texture in the trees.
4x5 HP5+ @250 f32 for 1 sec with Caltar 75mm lens. Developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 10 minutes.+3, beautiful!
Really appreciate that. Since I found your work last fall you've been an inspiration! And you prove to me that there is plenty to photograph around here.
Thank you. I was unsure of this one at first, I appreciate the comments. I really wish I would have 'wasted' more film now. I had more than enough but was still too selective.

I think you nailed it
Looks great to me. You may have been able to bring the contrast down more, but there's no guarantee the image would have worked better.Can't edit my post, must be too old.

+6, a real beauty for sure. The redwoods in Santa Cruz never get that quality of light, so I'm jealous!Can't edit my post, must be too old.

It's been good to browse through the last several pages of this thread - some very interesting images for sure - I particularly like efimch's image from Lake Ladoga in Karelia, and Duyfam's petzval image from Bavi Forest in Vietnam.
Here's one from last week in the French Alps - we generally had poor weather which frustrated hiking and photography, but occasionally the clouds cleared;
La Meije et le Rateau, Rhône-Alpes
Sinar F, Schneider 58mm Super Angulon XL, Ilford Delta 100 / Tanol
I've decided that what the world really needs is more pictures of the Grand Canyon. (Har har.)

Thanks!wonderful photograph Zaitz...

I think you are right. There is ample exposure even in the shadows. As is it developed and scanned flat but bright. Straight CS5 levels on the photo resulted in mucho contrast.
Thank you. The light rays were everywhere! Every evening. The only problem was they were strongest when looking into the sun....making the already tough conditions even tougher.+6, a real beauty for sure. The redwoods in Santa Cruz never get that quality of light, so I'm jealous!
Austin I am surprised that is yours. It doesn't have your usual toning. I've still never been to the Grand Canyon even though both my road trips went near it.
