What a gorgeous print Shawn!

Excellent print! Do you plan to print it a bit larger? I'm just curious, not that it is necessary for the image, it looks great even in this small size.

Thanks, fellows!

No, I only make contact prints from my 4x5 negatives. I love the intimacy, the jewel like quality and and how it draws you in.

Nicely printed, Shawn. By the way, just noticed you used Thornton 2-bath for this neg. What prompted you to do that vs your usual Adonal/Rodinal?

Long story. Basically I was looking for something to use on my Rolleiflex TLR negatives that would give me decent, printable, results with mild N+, N-, and N negatives all on the same roll. I had all the ingredients so I tried it... and liked the results so much that I thought I'd try it with my sheet film, too... I'm down to my last unopened bottle of Rodinal so we will see where this takes me. I've been doing a TON of reading on D23 and all its variations. I really like the idea of having so many options from such a simple brew.

Finding abstractions in nature: one of my favorite subjects to see in others' work and in my own. Is this from last weekend, Shawn? Loved looking at your work in person, by the way.

Thank you, Dan! I very much enjoyed seeing your work again as well. And, yes, I exposed this Sunday afternoon right before we started home.

I really like this one, Shawn!

I really like this, Shawn, because it plays on the sense of perspective. I see it as a vast landscape from a plane. Oh, and Thornton two bath simply works.

Great one.

Most would have pasted by this. Beautiful! Will enjoy seeing it in hand some day.

Like!!
