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!

While visiting Yosemite National Park back in February this year, low clouds kept us from trying to hike very far up the valley rim. Instead we enjoyed a small stretch of trail that I hadn't previously hiked, connecting Yosemite Falls and the Awahnee Meadow along the northern edge of the valley (just above Yosemite Village). We found ourselves arriving at the Ahwanee Meadow a little later than expected and without time to explore a new location for the sunset, which was not looking for photographically promising anyhow. Instead of rushing off to a new location, we found a nice open view of Half Dome and, hoping for the best, I set up my camera on the tripod, focused, and waited.
For the most part there was very little to see, and then through the clouds there were brief glimpses of magenta alpenglow on Half Dome through the clouds. The intense color only appears briefly and, rather than wait for more of the clouds to open up, I made my photograph when I thought the color was likely the most intense. Fortunately, that also coincided with the clearest view of Half Dome during those few brief minutes, and I think I was able to make the most of the occasion. Although the striking shape of Half Dome is lost here, for enthusiasts of Yosemite it remains immediately identifiable all the same.
Thank you for those who continue to follow my photography and check in periodically for updates. My spring of 2012 has been a very complicated one and I simply have not had the time edit photographs (or even develop them). In time I hope to catch up.

Per fi puc fotografiar decentment en format 4x5 amb un objectiu petzval realment antic, gràcies a la Sinar P i el seu obturador central de gran format Sinar-Copal.
Fotografia feta amb una Sinar P, fabricada cap als anys 70; objectiu petzval Derogy de llautó, fabricat cap a 1872-1880; Fomapan 100.
========================
I can finally shoot decently film in 4x5 format with a really old petzval lens, thanks to the Sinar P and its Sinar-Copal large format central shutter.
Picture taken with a Sinar P 4x5 camera, manufactured around the 70s; brass petzval Derogy lens, made circa 1872-1880; Fomapan 100.
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.
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!
If you liked this image, feel free to tag a friend you think would enjoy it too, and be sure to follow for more large format nature images.

“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

Today’s Collodion tintype test with Lars.
This is UV Photographics new X formula collodion (very fast compared to OWH!) and I’m also testing a new magic lantern lens a friend has offered me. I estimate it to be about f8. No waterhouse stops - just wide open chromatic aberration goodness.
Exposure was 6 seconds in open shade, cloudy November conditions.
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
