Leo, I really am enjoying your black and white images. I carefully went through your black and white folder yesterday. I really appreciate your careful compositions, and this is no exception. Wonderful tones and contrasts. Keep up the nice work. Cheers! Chris

Leo, another great B/W photograph!super tonal range and great texture. You are making me want to go 4x5...RAY

Great light - very good dynamic range - all in all - a superb image. Congrats.

Great b/w work. Speechless...

fantastic!!!

Superb tones and a wonderful image. Leo, I'd be interesting in knowing at what point in the process you start the digital work. If it's early on, are you doing the B&W work with CS3 or something else? Also, do you use color or B&W film? Thanks.

I started my digital work about 3 years ago. Most of that time was spend learning Photoshop and scanning my negatives into the computer. I have printed this photo both in the darkroom and digitally and the both have their merits. I am leaning more and more to all digitals. I have always loved computers and photography so it seems I have killed two birds with one stone. I do feel that I can be much more creative with Photoshop than I ever could in the darkroom . The clone tool alone can fix so many little disturbing things in a photo. This particular photo was taken with a Zone VI 4x5 camera and Tri-x film. It was given normal plus development in a Jobo processor.It was taken just before sunset at the Colorado sand dunes.

I have been into photography for forty five years now. Forty years learning what it takes to take a good photograph from beginning to end.
