Autumn's Embrace"
On the end of day 2 of my Zion fall color trip, I was exploring unnamed slot canyons searching for compositions when I came across this little scene. A young cottonwood sapling adorned in the brilliant yellow of peak fall color leans in towards a bright red maple sapling, which in turn leans in towards the cottonwood from a shelf above. This is an unusual scene, to see deciduous trees in fall color living in a desert slot canyon, and I think the juxtaposition of these different elements makes for a very beautiful combination.

Continuing with my large format experience, taking my expired Arista Ultra 100 8x10 film on a sunny but windy day, using the super wide (for the format) Nikkor. Theme again was the mountains and water, but no stillness for the latter given the wind. Film is, unfortunately, failing a bit, with mottling no doubt due to age, but moved past it. This time, used Rodinal alone at 1+100, and found the accutance as to be expected as sharp, with contrast a bit more (!) than I expected. Without a filter nice cloud imaging. My tripod sank a couple of times in the sand requiring me to re-set up the shot, and the geese weren't too happy with me with one trying to chase me away. Such is the high excitement and risk of LF image acquisition! Thanks to the flickerans who contine to inspire all of us!
quite a few years ago. Notice the headrest, so I would keep still for long enough (-:

I had two glass plate holders loaded with dry plates over the entire winter that I had not used and wondered if they were still good to go. I made a plate of three large oaks at the end of our lane I call "Three Sisters" to test the plates out. I've photographed them many times.

back when I worked at my local photo store in 2021, we'd frequently inherit estate's worth of gear from photographers that had passed away. This particular hoard of large format 4 x 5 negatives, originally destined for the dumpster, contains heaps of divinely-inspired boudoir shots by Brooks Dutt circa 1950.

Vendue en l'état avec la chambre, les lamelles dans un sac.
Testée à pleine ouverture pour du portrait à 1m. Profondeur de champ de 0,009m. Juste l'oeil qui était net, le reste flou...
Bref, dégommage, dégraissage puis remise en place des 26 lamelles dans le fût.
On my walk today I saw a teasel partly opened so I took one home and cut it half to photograph on X ray film (with my New Countess 10x8 camera from 1890). F45, 40s. Photographed and inverted in Photoshop Very pleased with the way this has come out

This is the very first image I made upon arriving in Zion. As I explored the winter wonderland of Zion National Park shortly after this winter storm, this area was one of the first I encountered. This stand of Pines cloaked in the icy veil of winter formed a striking contrast against the vivid orange sandstone canyon wall in the background. Snow had accumulated on the cliff ledges, forming alternating stripes of orange and white, with the blue sky subtly reflected in the white snow on the evergreens rounding out the color palette.
To get a sense of scale, look at the tree growing on the wall in the left center of the frame, above the 2nd Pine tree. That tree is about the same size as the trees in the foreground - about 40 feet tall! That tree is a marvel in itself, growing out of almost nothing on the narrow cliff ledge. The wall is hundreds of feet tall, and is at least a hundred plus feet behind the trees. I am standing about 3 feet away from the trees on a hillside, standing in about a foot of fresh powder. This place is truly magical in winter!

“We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.”
– C. S. Lewis
