This one was just shot as a smoke test of some old Efke IR 820, but I think it worked out OK. This is in the River View Natural Area in Portland, OR, USA, early in March this year. Rolleiflex 2.8C (Planar), Efke IR 820 at EI 3 with a Rollei-Infrarot filter, developed in HC-110. I think this shot was f/5.6 and 1 s.

Thanks very much @Jon Buffington. Mine is still in the negative-scan stage—one of these days I’ll catch up to where I can print it.

An oldie and it isn't perfect. But the imperfections are what make this look dreamy to me. I was walking late one afternoon a decade ago at Old Stone Fort State Park. I had a pentax k1000 with an off brand 35-70 zoom that I had never used. It was soft wide open and just wasn't a good lens. I shot this on color c41, probably fuji c200. A mother with child. Wide open with all the imperfections of the lens showing.

Jon,
I cannot see any imperfections, because the shot is so natural and vital.
Beautiful!

+1, the first two especially are “next level” intimate landscapes where what seems chaotic at first resolves into a coherent, artistic perspective…definitely give ‘em the Clyde Butcher treatment. (BTW, the P67 and 55/4 is a great combination

Thank you! And hello, fellow cypress appreciator from another forum

That is a fantastic shot, especially because of what you chose to include in the foreground for that sense of scale. What kind of rocks are those dark ones?

Your image has me wishing I'd gotten lower for this composition. Though, my back and or ankles wouldn't have appreciated it.

Those boulders are “Thunderhead Sandstone,” AKA “gray backs,” and often are car-to-house size in the “Greenbrier“ section of the GSMP. Beautiful country, though bit of an iffy proposition now that time has eroded whatever cat-like reflexes I might have possessed.

At any rate, I really think getting a real photograph out our “woodland” scenes is usually determined by finding a suitable angle of attack—for myself, steeper is usually better. If that’s not available, I think your approach in your first three scenes of finding more intimate frames is the way to go. For the last photo, though, I might have had you try portrait orientation and even crop to a vertical pano aspect ratio to catch the rhythm of the central boulder and the arch made by the bent sapling mid frame.

Car to house size…how impressive! At the same time, aptly named. Really appreciate it he feedback regarding composition on my last image. It was the first of the weekend and I suppose I wanted to capture the entire seen in a single frame. It was a sketchy spot but tried to channel my inner Clyde as I tried to maintain my balance in a foot of cold spring water on top of slimy limestones all while keeping a side-eye on my kid who wasn’t phased at all by the terrain. I would’ve liked to have brought the 4x5(see: kid) and would’ve certainly slowed myself down a bit for framing shots, while having more room to crop in post.

Ha, glad you have your priorities in order! Otherwise, I don’t know how you’ve accessorized your Pentax, but I found a chimney finder very useful when searching for the “angles” we’ve been discussing—about the only way I found to get above streamside vegetation is to collapse my tripod and do a bit of bouldering.

Brought out the new-to-me camera and lens yesterday, to ensure everything is working as intended. Nagaoka 4x5 | Nikkor SW 90mm f/8 | Kodak TXP320. I was hiking in between fallen limestone boulders and the light in this particular spot caught my eyes.
