Thanks for the good vote of confidence Mat.

On an editorial note, I had the county location wrong, so its been corrected.

alex,

HAH! No Michael, the only thing that storm lacked was hail and a tornado. We were wishing to be somewhere else.

Alex,
Greetings from Salina. It is very challenging to translate the beauty of the Flint Hills to film and paper - you've done an outstanding job here!
Regards,
Kent

Keith is correct. Those that have not been there can not believe how difficult it is to get a great print from such a beautiful landscape.

Alex has done an outstanding job with this print.

Alex, I have to believe that camera catches some wind when your on the ridges?

Excellent presentation.

Thanks Mike. Surprisingly, I've found the wind to be less of a problem with the big cameras than it is with the small ones. I've actually watched the camera visibly dance around during the exposure and still come up with a good clean sharp shot. There was a breeze blowing during this one so I was apprehensive about how the 40 second exposure would turn out.

Nice job Alex, good to see you working with the 7x17 - given time, I think you will find a whole new world to work with. And with this print, I can't wait to see what you do with the format.
