Cross the Mississippi River on these tracks and you will be on the old V,S, & P railroad (Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific). Someday there could be passenger trains using these tracks connecting Atlanta, GA and Dallas, TX, though not in my lifetime. I don't think we got that snow. Nice railroad picture. I liked the "square" format. Hasselblad seems to be a favorite rail film photographer's camera hereabouts.......Regards!Thank you for the kind words about the photograph. I suppose you are right; we could classify it as a tree portrait. Here is another landscape, a view of the Kansas City Southern rail tracks in Vicksburg, Mississippi, when it was snowing in January. Yes, we sometimes do get snow in Mississippi. This is Fomapan 100, exp. at EI=80, with a Hasselblad 501CM and 80mm Planar CB lens.

If, after setting up my tripod, I noticed that I had used Ansel's tripod holes, I would know that I had done at least one thing right......Regards!Thanks...I did not notice any of Ansel's tripod holes in the immediate area.
Was that in the "Big Bend" country? It has that 'feel' about it......Regards!
Yes. Going back in December!Was that in the "Big Bend" country? It has that 'feel' about it......Regards!
A sort of comparison between Fuji Velvia 50 and Kodak Portra 160. The film are essentially the opposite, the first is a high contrast transparency film with 5 stops of dynamic range, while the second is a color negative film with an insanely large latitute---everything slooowly fades to white.
It is a sort of comparison because the two images were taken a few minutes apart and the light was very different: too much contrast for Velvia with the sun out. Both images were taken with a 3-stop soft edge graduated filter to control the sky.
Which one do you like most?
I prefer the velvia image. I find velvia to be very true to life when carefully exposed on low contrast scenes.
The two images were taken at Cape Cod; I think they captured many aspects of the northern part of the cape: the big dunes, the particular shrubby vegetation, the barely traveled sand roads, and the amazing light. However, I am not convinced by any of the two shots and I find them too much chaotic for my liking. Still, it was a fun morning and I think the images are worth sharing.
