I'm really liking the tones and textures of this outcropping. Mood too. Lonely mid-winter feel. Same goes for the church in the architectural thread. Nice light with that one.

Thanks Stephen. This is a well known location near where I grew up, and at certain angles the face-in-profile of the "old man" becomes apparent. An apt name, if you count 600 million years as old. A veritable baby compared with Lewisian gneiss I suppose, but still pretty mind boggling when you think about it.
 
On the way to the Pierre Percé, Précy-Le-Moult, Yonne, France

Hasselblad 500 C/M with Planar 80mm + orange filter on Bergger Pancro 400 in Berspeed 1+1, dry scanned on Epson 750.
I have to shoot on 400ASA film, even in plain daylight, and when using a (orange-) filter which is 'eating' stops, as my hands aren't that stable anymore after a health issue, the weight of a Hasselblad isn't sufficient to compensate, and a tripod is too cumbersome to lug around...

The image was 'prepared' in LRC: a little sharpening and no noise reduction nor added grain structure, and no interfering in the contrast, just 'opening' the shadows a little and somewhat reducing the highlights.

Still to grainy for a 400ASA film/developer combination, but an interesting tonality, for a contre-jour anyway...
On the other hand, grain, and emulsion structure, are so inherent with the kind of film is used, that it is questionable to try to 'hide' it as it is part of the message...
But I will no more shoot Bergger...

That looks really good, a nice capture of the light...........I went several pages back trying to see a first interpretation, but didn't see one, can you point me to it? I'm curious to know the film, developer, and your exposure placement, those things interest me.
