This is sweet. :-)

Lovely lines and the negative space works nicely.

Hi Lance. I do remember that day and what I did to get this image.
First, it's a 4x5, and this composition is a crop. The original wasn't nearly as good - it included much more of the ridge on the right.

As for metering, I used my trusty incident meter and simply pointed the dome at the setting sun and set the camera to exactly what it said. That's about as complicated as I get. If I don't have direct access to the same light the subject is in I take a wild guess - not the best approach with slide film!

Thanks for your comments and have a great trip.

This is a re-request. I made an awful toning choice on the first

effort. Eventually I'll learn that I'm colour challenged and stop

putzing about with things. Please comment. Thank you.

Absobloodyfuckinglutely brilliant.

If you're printing, I want one.

...and some detail. It's a little soft compared to some others I've done.

Steven,
I don't think that this photo required LF to be created, it was what I was using at the time, though. I'm still getting used to using the 8x10...it's a bit of a beast to say the least.
I have grown a bit bored with digital. I find it's too easy to use, without much challenge as I chimp my way through thousands of photos. The LF does require much though before, during and after the exposure. I'm happy simply to see an image on the neg when I turn on the lights.

I have to admit I wasn't too sure how to crop this. I played around and landed on one that fit the 13x19 paper I was printing on. Sure, not a great basis for a decision, but that was my mood last night :-)

I'm attaching the full frame for reference. It's not bad, now that I look at it again...maybe I should have kept my grubby paws off it.

Robert
