Large Format Landscapes

[John Rodriguez]

Nice Frank. I really like the grasses that seem to be reaching out to me and the band of light in the trees.

Tree trunk and grasses, an image from the Dutch nature reserve Loonse & Drunense duinen.

I used a Cambo Wide camera with a 5,6 65mm super-angulon lens fitted with a 2 stop Lee ND grad filter, Fuji Velvia. Exposed for about 4 seconds at f/22.

Thanks for looking, Frank

Here are two shot with an Apo-Nikkor 610 and Nikkor-T 1200, both at Letchworth state park. There was a lot of haze/fog/mist, so not much contrast.

Newton rings galore, these are my first 8x10 scans.

Felled in the 1980 eruption, thousands of dead trees still float on Spirit Lake.

Thanks, Dunstanburgh / Embleton is an amazing beach to be sure with Bamburgh and Holy island not too far away. It is great at most times of the day too. Have you got any photos with the 6 x 6? Would be good to see them. This is a small version of the Velvia comparison as I have already posted it in another thread so don't want to spam everywhere with the same photo!

The castle silhouette is weirdly dramatic from all angles. Hard to choose between B+W and colour.

I'm (very) slowly tackling my scanning backlog. I tend to concentrate on longer-lens shots, and my standard walkabout lens on 6x6 is a 150 mm. We were at Dunstanburgh on a target-rich day, with bright sun and a gale force wind blowing huge breakers onto Embleton beach. A hundred yard strip along the coastline was bathed in an uncanny crystal-clear light as the spume scattered the sun, and from up on the castle mound there was actually a bright line along the shore, as if someone had marked the air with a giant highlighter pen. Gorgeous.

My biggest regret, apart from not having a larger format, was not taking a longer lens. The black-green-white patterns on the dolerite cliffs are something I need to go back to. That and the odd little hoodoos poking their heads out of the gorse on the scarp opposite the castle.

There's a blog essay and gallery in there somewhere, but I need to let things sink in a bit more first.
