I had one of the really old cameras out at Mosier in mid-November. I had set it up while the river was mirror-like, but the wind picked up while I was metering, and getting ready. The mirror was all but gone when I took the picture. The high point of the experience was when a beautiful young woman jogged past, and called out "That's so cool!" about me and my camera. If I'd had my wits about me, I would have given her my card, as asked if she wanted to model sometime. She had the kind of body over which sailing ships of old were dashed upon the rocks to get near. After I packed up my gear, and moved on to the next spot, she waved at me as I drove past. It kind of just melts a middle-aged man's heart.
I had forgotten something about the camera. It has way too much bellows. It has to be pulled forward in order to focus at infinity, otherwise it makes a 5x7 negative into a 5x5, because part of the bellows masks the negative. The little leather rings on the side of the bellows had torn off a long time ago, and I was using string to do the job, but it had been so long since I had used the camera that I forgot. I cropped the picture down to roughly the same aspect ratio.

“Bad Hair Day”
As I hiked through the deep, fresh powder in Zion National Park looking for compositions, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful and striking the various desert flora looked under a blanket of snow. It seemed so out of place to see things like slot canyons, Yuccas, Junipers, Pinon Pines and other desert denizens in such a wintery context.
One of my earlier compositions featured one of these spiny Yuccas buried in snow as a foreground element. As I hiked back out to my truck, I came across this beautiful Yucca plant buried in snow on a small hillside which made for a nice composition surrounded by snow. It was tricky to get the whole Yucca in frame and no other distracting elements. I extended my tripod quite high and looked up to the ground glass to focus, using my 90mm lens to get the whole plant in the frame. I made the exposure on Fuji Provia 100F to get the subtle blues of the blue hour sky reflected in the snow along with the soft greens of the Yucca. I like the way it rendered the scene. This was a relaxing and meditative image to scan and process, I greatly enjoyed staring at it for a long time. I think it would make a nice print for a relaxing room.

“Perhaps art can help us to look beyond the immediate beauty with all its puzzles, and to glimpse that new creation which makes sense not only of beauty but of the world as a whole, and ourselves within it … The artist can then join forces with those who work for justice and those who struggle for redemptive relationships, and together encourage and sustain those who are reaching out for a genuine, redemptive spirituality.”
– N. T. Wright

Gaia and I drove out to the Salmon River Road (near Mt. Hood) today to do a little scouting for pictures. It was raining, so we weren't going to go very far. We went down to the river at a few spots, and I decided to get a 4x5 camera out to test how a new film handles zone system expansion. The day was overcaset and very low contrast. I wanted to see if I could bring out some highlights. I rated the film at 50ASA to double exposure and bring out the shadows. Then I developed at N+1, which for which I use 20% increased developing time. It seems to have worked. The whites in the tree and in the forest were not there in real life. I used no contrast filter when I took the picture. On the whole, I'd say it was a success.

I’m testing a new film called Atimix-X by a company called Famous Format. It is supposed to be similar to Kadak’s beloved Panatomic-X, which, like all great Kodak films, was discontinued a long time ago. My first negatives are a mixed success. I like the tones, but the negative did not scan well. The cloud are disappointing. Another issue is that it’s not very sharp. That’s my fault. I didn’t have the rear standard of the camera tightened down. I forgot to do it. Naturally, when I slid the film holder in, it unfocused the camera a little. Oh, and the lens has an electronic shutter, and the battery had died. That gives it an automatic 1/30th second exposure. Luckily, that was close enough to the metered exposure.

As I've mentioned before, cats are weird people.
They have the habit of choosing a hangout spot to claim their own – which they also change regularly throughout the year, so they don't get bored.
For the past few weeks, our oldest cat has been spending his afternoons in this (seemingly rather awkward) position.
The picture on the wall is from my book "Nicosia in Dark and White".

"This photograph was taken during the same time period as Ochopee. Clyde considered using his 8x10 view camera, but without an 8x10 enlarger he couldn’t print the image he was taking. Since he did have a 5x7 enlarger, he opted to use his 5x7 view camera. He really wanted a good shot of the grassy plains to express the feeling he had about the Everglades and wanted to be able to print it right away.
The photograph was taken along Tamiami Trail. It was very dangerous because the tripod was set up near the side railing that is only a few feet from the edge of the highway. When the surge of wind from passing cars and trucks caused him to grab the camera for fear it would be blown over…well, that was much to close to traffic to be considered safe! Clyde had attached an extra length of tubing to his tripod legs in order to get the camera up higher than when he had taken the Ochopee photograph. After focusing the camera, he raised it up to about 10ft. and took the picture. Out of the several shots he took, he chose this one to print because he liked the way the clouds have such a crisp line where they meet the dark sky.
TAMIAMI TRAIL #1 is another interesting example of the delicate balance in the Everglades. Most of the grass in this 1986 picture was sawgrass. As I write this journal in 2000, most of the grass is being overcome by invasive exotic plants. " - Niki Butcher
"Awakened from Slumber"
This image is one of my favorites from my recent Winter Zion / Bryce Canyon trip. I feel it brings together the aspects I love about large format film. The dynamic range of the image is insane, with everything from snow in full sunlight to tree bark in full shadow, to a silhouetted tree with incredible shadow detail. I love the subtle blues reflected from the blue sky above showing in the shaded snow in the foreground, contrasted against the warm orange tones of the iron-rich erosion soil on the hill in the background. Every pixel of the image is razor sharp and in perfect focus, and the color palette is perfectly natural without overemphasizing any one element.
This is a Cottonwood silhouetted against the adjacent bank of the Virgin river in Zion Canyon. This scene only existed for a matter of minutes, as a few minutes before this exposure the entire scene was in full shade, including the background, and a few minutes after, the tree and foreground were in full blinding sunlight. The image was made possible by two things: a soft-edge 2-stop ND graduated filter, and color negative film. I used a batch of expired Fujifilm NPS 160 from 2003 that I found on eBay. It was $20 for a most of a 50-sheet box! I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by this film. It produced the best results of the entire trip, and it seemed to be perfectly exposed in all the lighting conditions I could throw at it. It has an incredible dynamic range and a perfectly natural color palette with gentle contrast. It's a shame @fujifilm discontinued this amazing film. I wish they would take a cue from @kodak and re-release it!

That is the result of an experiment i did earlyer in the year with my large format camera: it's a pano made of two 6x7 shots, so more or less a 6x14 pano (with about 200 megapixels) :)
It isn't perfect, but i will try out this method again!

Recognized as the oldest surviving train station in Ontario, the King City Station is part of the original track that ran from Toronto to Collingwood and was among the first stations built using local labour. The station became a prototype and template for FW Cumberland, and many other stations were made to this same spec. The station was never replaced and saw continued use under Grand Trunk and Canadian National until 1967 when passenger service ceased. The station fell into disrepair, and King City got a couple of offers to salvage the station, including Black Creek Pioneer Village. Eventually, the local King Twp. Museum rescued the station in 1989, where it remains today.
