allancobb Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Allen: That is a trail we have taken many times over the years but in October there was absolutely no place left to park near the trailhead - very disappointing. It was a big difference from the first time there back in 1980. I really wanted to make that image again but in medium format for the first time. Yes, in recent years Zion has rocketed to the number 3 spot in most visited US "National Parks"; we were there in August and the only way to avoid crowds was to be inside the entrance before dawn! Being from the east coast, we just maintained our Eastern Time "body clocks," making that easy for us. I'm just now finally getting around to processing and scanning the rest of my rolls (3 more, all 220). We plan to visit North Cascades NP next year; medium format will be with me again.

Excellent, thank you! I would like that very much. And that park is on our short list.

allancobb Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 "Allan" that road has got to be on my motorcycling bucket list , and at 70 , I better make it soon :) ! Peter I think it would be quite memorable! Actually there were more than a few motorcycle groups on that road, it’s the Zion - Mount Carmel Highway (AZ Route 9) and it includes a 1.1 mile tunnel through the prominent rock on the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allancobb Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 What a fantastic photo, love the square format! Thank you very much!

allancobb Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Did you use a colored filter for this image? Normally I would be using a yellow filter as a matter of course when shooting B&W film, but that particular day was mostly cloudy with small breaks allowing the sun to poke through only in one or several random spots, so I actually didn’t have a colored filter attached. But the clouds also were relatively thick where they existed and added a degree of drama on their own!

danac Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Alan: Here is the view from about half way down the canyon. I used a #8 yellow filter. The image you took was the one I really wanted but there was no way to park at the Great Arch trailhead in October. You captured the very essence of Zion. The shadows on the tunnel side and the cap on West Temple had just enough detail (Zone 1 I think). Zion isn't easy. Even AA seemed to have had a difficult time there. We can't wait to get back. 5 A book's a great place to hide out in - Trevanian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH=full]1412451[/ATTACH] Thank you for the words and a nicely done image by you as well! We arrived at the parking area very early (before 7 AM local time) and we took one of the last three spaces left in the Overlook Trail parking lot. I was a little worried about the cloud cover, but after seeing a few breaks here and there, I though it might actually work out. As it was, we spent well over 2 hours at the overlook just waiting for the sun angle to be just high enough and the clouds to just open up enough to get some good shots. I used an entire 220 roll of TXP there plus many digital images with my Leica M240, the best one here. You're absolutely right, it wasn't easy and it was a test of patience and luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_fowler Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Someday I'll actually get the text included with the pic . This was taken a few days ago on the Sea To Sky Hwy north of Vancouver . Had my Pentacon 6 TL loaded with Tri-X and my MIR 45 lens . Rather cold winter this year and lots of photo ops if you dress correctly . What that means , is I was wearing my new Xmas gift battery heated vest :) . Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inoneeye Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Thank you Allan for your generous comment. I always appreciated the influence the medium format had on my street work, different from my 35mm.... and other formats.
