Bloede Dam Patapsco Valley State Park, MD
A great blue heron stalks its prey at the base of the Bloede Dam located in Patapsco Valley State Park on the Patapsco River. It's amazing that this bird stayed still for the full 1 minute exposure.
This dam is slated for removal in the next few years as part of a habitat restoration effort by the Maryland State Parks.

This picture was taken more than five years ago, improperly labeled, and forgotten on a film holder until yesterday. It narrowly escaped being double exposed by a hunch of mine that made me throw it into the developer tray just in case something was there. And, oh boy, I really thank my luck for that hunch.
I remember that afternoon very well, as I managed to have for lunch at my house in northern Tokyo both of what I'm sure are the best models I've had the pleasure to shoot. It's a sin that this negative spent that many years stored away, as I think that this is the best large format portrait I've ever shot in the open.

"Pathway to Paradise"
On day 4 of my Zion Fall Color Trip, I headed into the famous Virgin River Narrows at first light. Because the water was cold, I wore dry pants and thick neoprene socks, which worked very well to keep my legs dry and my feet warm for the entire day of hiking in the water. In all, I spent nearly 10 hours in the Narrows that day, and as always the time flew by in this majestic and awe-inspiring place.
This classic scene was my second to last image made that day. I had run out of Velvia, so I made the exposure on 4x5" Kodak Ektar 100 color negative film. The exposure was 1 minute & 8 seconds @ Æ’/45 with a CPL on my Intrepid 4x5" large format view camera.
This was a very tricky negative to scan, but the final result is an incredibly sharp, massive-resolution image filled with rich detail and color tones that could be printed to 40x50 inches at 300dpi (you could stick your nose right up to it and only see more image details and fine film grain, not pixels).

Thanks for all the comments and favorites on the photo. I had long forgotten about this one, seeing as how I shot it 3 years ago.
A beauty of a 4x5 view camera... Taken on a Flickr Meet Columbus tour of the Southern Theather provided by CAPA.

While Milton is a large and ever growing community, our roots as a agricultural centre is not that far away from the sprawl. This historic farm on Bell School Line just above the town on the Niagara Escarpment. We might have plenty of new businesses and industry, our rural roots still show in our summer Farmer's Market that occupies the downtown.

Been working on dialing in at least one other lens to perfection on the 4x5 as I have yet really only made good photos with the Ilex 260. This is the one for sure.

Ever have people talk right next to you as if you're not even there?
It was the end of the day and I liked the way the sunlight was casting shadows along the ridge of the mountain with a wonderful full moon. I lugged out my view camera set it all up and prepared to focus with my focusing cloth covering my head. A man with a child comes by and I hear him say...
"That's an antique... they don't even make those anymore."
I couldn't stand it that he thought I couldn't even hear him.
I pulled off the focusing cloth and smiled at him.
"Hey, who you calling an antique?"
The father's mouth dropped open, then we both laughed.
(And my camera's not an antique, it's just a different non digital way to see the world...)

It's been 6 months since I've had my view camera out, and I've been waiting for a sunny weekend morning (for easy parking) to do a city skyline by way of exercising the equipment and my view cam technique. I did two shots on FP4 and two on Fomapan 100 and developed one of each together in my caffenol recipe as a test.
I'd not tried FP4 with caffenol before. In this run, I preferred it to the Fomapan.

The hike to Grotto Falls is actually the first 1.3 miles of the Trillium Gap Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which takes you up to the top of Mount LeConte. On certain days (I think 2 or 3 times a week), you can catch the llama train running supplies up to LeConte Lodge at the top of the mountain, which is a fantastic photo op as long as you’re not using a 4x5 view camera with slow film. I was fortunate enough to beat them to the trail this particular morning and had time to set up this shot behind the falls before they came through. This is a very busy trail and if you want to have some peace and quiet around the falls, your best bet is to hit the trail just before sunrise. I did that and had it all to myself for about an hour before other folks started showing up.
Thanks for looking! I appreciate all views, comments, and faves!

Near the exit to the famed "wall street" section of the Virgin River Narrows, lies the Imlay Boulder. This boulder is frequently photographed, as you must pass it to enter or exit this section of the Narrows, and in the afternoon for a short time, the sun filters down into the 1800 foot deep slot canyon creating this gorgeous reflected light.
In July of 2013, after visiting the Narrows for the first time, I returned a second time to explore and photograph the entire 16-mile length of this canyon, and made my first version of this image. At the time, I'd never seen any photograph of this scene, and was simply captivated by the scene and this seemed the best composition. Only over a year later did I see images from other photographers of the scene.
In January of 2016, I decided to switch back to film for my fine art work, and purchased a 6x4.5cm sized medium format film camera to begin getting used to exposing film instead of digital sensors again. Later in the year, I switched to a 6x7cm format camera, to get used to bellows focusing and a larger image capture plane. Finally, in early fall of 2016, I switched to 4x5in format, and a wooden view camera - technology that has existed since the 1800s, but which has not yet been surpassed in the digital age.
In November, I made this trip to Zion National Park for the fall colors, and decided to take the opportunity to recreate this image on the vastly improved quality of large format color transparency film. Arriving on-site, I captured 4 exposures of the scene, 3 on Kodak Ektar 100, and 1 on Fujifilm Velvia 100. Other large format photographers told me the Velvia wouldn't be able to contain the wide range of light in this scene, from the brilliant highlights to the deep shadows. However, I decided to give it a try anyway, and the result is what you see here. I love the way the Velvia renders this beautiful canyon scene.
