A fortunate combination of beautiful red light filtered by clouds on the eastern horizon ignites the Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park with vivid neon orange alpenglow minutes after sunrise, flanked by some low-hanging clouds on the western horizon.
For this image, I take no artistic credit whatsoever. This is simply my own personal execution of a very popular composition of the cliffs known as the "Towers of the Virgin" in Zion National Park. There were about 20 other photographers set up at this spot when I made this image. I was, however, the only one working in film, let alone a wooden 4x5" view camera, and that garnered some puzzled stares and an array of questions from curious onlookers. As for why I went to this spot at all, well, lets just say I wanted to experience a sunrise at Towers of the Virgin at least once in my life, and since I was going to be there with my large format camera in the truck anyway, I figured I may as well take it out and make an image. So here it is.
Specifically, it was Alan Brock's image, "New Beginning" (Check it out here: www.alanbrockimages.com/lozopvezj0rtw46vwayzegse1jcr…) that motivated me to come out here and make this one. So I suppose I will give direct credit to him. He is another 4x5 large format film landscape photographer. I got to meet and spend some time with him while in Zion also, which was very fortunate, as he lives in Tennessee, which is around 2500 miles from where I live!
This is one of 3 total exposures I made on this scene. I made one on Fuji Velvia 100, which was fried, and two on Kodak Ektar 100, both of which came out great. So then I simply selected the one with the best light on the towers and scanned it, the result of which you see here.

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 on the rock were not there in real life. I actually had to cut down on the contrast to make it more pleasing, despite using no contrast filter when I took the picture. On the whole, I'd say it was a success.

CN Locomotive 6167 started life in 1940, completed by Montreal Locomotive Works. It is a Northern Type 4-8-4 Locomotive. It spent the early part of its career in Eastern Canada, running troops, munition, and supply trains to support the allied war effort in Europe. In 1943, they survived a head-on collision with another locomotive. Both were repaired and returned to service to support the war. Following the war, it continued to serve as a mixed-use locomotive. In 1961 it was retired from service and brought to Ontario as a tourist locomotive and earned fame as the most photographed locomotive in Canada. However, its usefulness was short, ending in 1964 due to extensive repairs needed and the end of the tourist service by CNR. Sadly the locomotive languished, painted every so often, and by the 1990s had been set on fire and vandalized. Efforts to preserve the locomotive started in 2002 and, by 2020, now fully restored, was moved to a new home in John Galt Park, where it sits today. It would end up in Guelph in 1967, donated by CNR to the city for Canada's Centennial.

Viewcamera with a I-51 21cm 4.5 Lens as seen in the window of the Ringfoto shop in Kevelaer (D).
So determining the lens was easy, it is a Russian Industar lens.
Determining the viewcamera is however something else. More information welcome !
The viewcamera is probably a Soviet build FKD 13x18.
The writing on the little piece of white paper is quite funny, freely translated this is written :
- No Sensor
- No Autofocus
- No Scene selection
- But for that you can have hours long exposure times

Karlos No.56. 6x6 pinhole camera sporting a Kiev film back and brass viewfinder (for the 90mm pinhole). The camera has three pinhole pannels for the focal ranges of 50mm, 90mm and 145mm and they take 52mm filters. The back is slide and lock and the front extends via slide with friction control. Cloth bellows and walnut / aluminium body, brass knobs and brass 1/4 tripod mount. The viewfinder is fitted to a stranded accessory shoe so it can be replaced with wider / longer VFs.
Pinhole Data:
50mm @ 0.3mm = f166
90mm @ 0.4mm = f225
145mm @ 0.5mm = f290
This small rural parish has served the Nassagewya township since 1840. Their current building was completed in 1871, and was nearly destroyed on Good Friday in 1913. Reconstruction lasted until 1920 and it stands in that form still today.

These are yellow ornamental grasses that grow in our backyard. I had snapped off a bunch of them a few weeks ago and brought them inside to dry before taking a shot of them. I've always referred to them as "Giant Hogweed" after the Genesis song.

Again, based on what I saw with my first set, I went with a stronger dilution and was rewarded. These have a bit more contrast than D-76, but nothing too serious. I think that it enhances the film all the more. Thankfully, there is only a slight increase in visible grain, but nothing over the top. I honestly think that anything more dilute might lower the image quality.

I finally went to the Grist Mill near Woodland, Washington. My intention was to get some good fall foliage pictures. Well, most of the leaves were already down. So, I was left with a difficult contrast situation, i.e. there was no contrast to speak of, just a little sun break just past the mill. My 165mm Schneider (for 8x10) lens is so large that none of my filters would fit on it, so a red filter was out of the question. I decided to shoot FP4 because of its slightly higher contrast, and even though I rated it at 80 ASA, I developed for full film speed. I also did not adjust development for 2 stops of reciprocity correction. This bumped up the contrast enough to give me detail in the wood on the mill. I actually had to lower contrast after scanning, but I burned in some of the remaining leaves a little.
Camera: Deardorff 8x10 with a 5x7 back.
Lens: 165mm Schneider Angulon.
Film: Ilford FP4+ developed in 510 Pyro.

The power of patronage. The growing community of Oakville, thanks to William Chisholm's connection to the political elite allowed the small harbour to become a port of entry and this beautiful custom's house was established which included an office for the Bank of Toronto. The town retained this status until 1910. The building was turned into a house in the 1930s and then became the first part of the Oakville Musuem.

This trip was the first time I've even visited Jingshan park in my entire life. The first day I was there I went and scouted out this obvious location, but at sunset, the crowds will not allow any tripod placement let alone a huge viewcamera. So after shooting the red door I left to come back one an early morning to shoot the forbidden city just after sunrise. The air was absolutely filthy that day, so I decided to shoot in 4x10 format using my cut dark slide on Provia 100F. The image came out quite nice and I feel it somehow reflects the actual situation in Beijing which is first and pollution ruining the beauty of the imperial architecture everywhere.
