Junkyard II. This is one my favorite images from the Northern Exile series and currently on display at the Alpha Art gallery in Ottawa. I shot most of the series on Ilford Delta 100 with a Noblex 150UX and printed them with Piezography Pro carbon inks on Hahnemuhle PhotoRag 305.

Very nice! Beautiful tones and detail throughout. Is this a scan of the print?
 
These photo's are from my anno 2000 book on megaliths 'DE STILTE DER STENEN' (The Silence Of The Stones): http://www.photoeil.be/books/de-stilte-der-stenen.html.
These were made in Drenthe (Hondsrug) in the North of the Netherlands, Wéris near Durbuy in Belgium and Le Golfe de Morbihan In Bretagne, France. Shot between 1995 and 1999, I only could recently repair the damaged harddrive.
They were all shot with Hasselblad and Technorama 617 on AGFA APX 400 processed in Rodinal 1+50 when at 400 ASA and Refinal (undiluted/replenished) when at 1000 ASA (Technorama handheld), and some filters: UV, Yellow, Yellow-Green, Green and Orange.

I handmade the prints on AGFA MCC FB 111, and were reproduced by a photoengraving company for the publisher/printer LANNOO.

Thank you, and to you, too!

Love the image. Also reminds me of a sci-fi novel I read many years ago...set in the not too distance future where someone trying to tell a false story might be told, "Don't try to disney me!"

Summer Solstice is the fun, party solstice. Unfortunately, English Heritage cancelled the live Stonehenge Solstice celebration again this year because of Covid. The way they normally run the place does feel like a Disneyland ride though.

Try getting a reservation and then doing the Half Dome hike in Yosemite National Park for that true Disney experience! Or perhaps Angels Landing in Zion NP. :cool:

Zion isn't as commercialized which is a plus. I once did a joke image of Half Dome with the McDonald arches superimposed into the face. Over a billion served.

Still, Half Dome would be truly cool.

Zion has the good fortune of not having enough flat ground to support the commercialization of a Yosemite, Grand Canyon, or Yellowstone...even tho it is ranked in the top 5 for number of visitors. Of course, this means Springdale takes the blunt of the impact.

Yosemite is surprising as it has several large areas within the park boundaries that are private held lands, with rental cabins and year-round residents. Got thirteen 5x7 and four 11x14 negatives to develop from last week in Yosemite...six of the 5x7s are group portraits of family on top of Sentinel Dome at sunset. For the longer exposures, I counted out loud, "one-ansel-adams...two-ansel-adams...".
When it came time to for me to be in a photo (last of the evening and getting dark), the whole crowd on the dome counted out loud, "one-ansel-adams...two-ansel-adams..." And way too slow...might be a bit over-exposed. :cool:

Nice - you see what I saw. I could have spent months photographing that junkyard, but there was one week in particular when the snow turned to styrofoam and with the fog and emerging vehicles I felt like I was in an episode of the walking dead. I wonder if anyone from postcard round 48 is following this thread - I sent this picture out to 30 members at the beginning of the pandemic :smile:

I don't. All I have are low resolution scans. I actually have a Howtek Scanmaster 4500 but haven't touched it after all the time and money spent getting it set-up. By sharing images here, I'm hoping to motivate myself.

I do have a spot meter and I use sensitometry to process. My Normal is CI 0.58. But with snow, I don't think there an easy fix other than to struggle through it. I believe the difficulty is in finding the right balance when printing. Large format helps because the film grain is less likely to interfere with texture of the snow, which then tends to look more like sand. There's the overall tone of the image: light or dark, flat or contrasty; and whether the snow is sunlit or not. Then there is it's direct relationship with adjacent tonal values or simultaneous contrast. Since we're talking perception, that means it falls under artistic sensibilities. The technical keeps things within a workable range, but each image is its own beast.

You are already there in my opinion.

The 'pointer stone' on the top of the hill in Wéris.
Every year a professor in Archaeology of the Liège University coms to whiten that stone as a scientific analyse discovered that it was done in the stone age.

This image is supposed to be high key. I'm a little concerned on how it looks on different screens.
