Slate Wall, North Wales

Splendid B&W.....

Nice shot. Beautiful tonal range and rendering of clouds and texture on the slate. May I ask what developer you used. I just got some TMax 100 4x5 and haven't played around with it much yet.

Generally I use Rodinal 1:50 for convenience. Have done film tests and recently started using green safelight filter to check progress of image towards the expiry of the development time. 5x4's are dish processed.

Very dramatic, great texture. I bet the print looks even better in person. Nice work.

I dont know what it is about this image but I just love it. I like the dark feel to it. Very well done.

This is my favourite image in an enjoyable and inspiring folder. Fantastic texture.

 

Thanks.

Gary, you have a terrific landscape portfolio--lots of great imagery. I prefer to shoot black and white and print in my darkroom, so I'm drawn to shots like this. I like moody, dark landscapes, and this is just right.

 

I have a Scotland and Ireland folder--there's a dolman shot similar to yours. I hope to visit some of your other folders later.

Very strong image.

The light on the slate is lovely, and the composition is very strong. A bit too dark for my taste.
