A Couple of RB67 Scans

Don't know if I posted these before - usually I "tag" my images
that have already been posted. In any case the scanner is working
so well these days, and since I have finally set up a good workflow
for consistent results.

This image is not really interesting in toto, but I like that it
shows the phenomenal speed at which the forest starts to break
down fallen logs and recover to its original state.

These logs fell in the rare storm we had three winters ago when
winds reached 90mph even in the wooded areas of the coast.

Look at how the rotted windfall is breaking down, and secondly
look at the logs that are ALREADY breaking down with a coat of
moss and bryophytes! Shocked

Mamiya RB67

This is a Winter shot along the river in the Quinault valley. It was
cold and frosty, and the air was clean and fresh. This image is
"growing" on me for its colors and balance. Maybe though, it's in
the eye of the beholder! Laughing

Here is a Winter shot of the Cape Flattery trail area, the
most northwestern point of land in the continental USA. This is a
new scan of a previously posted image.

Pentax 645
Provia





And finally, a shot of an unnamed alpine lake not too far from
my home. This has possibly been posted before as well, but it is
a new scan.

Just gorgeous. Maine is the most northern state in the east and off the cold Atlantic is completely different in the vegetation. I love your rain forest.

The last one is so splendid that I thought it was a painting at first.

That's the result of medium format used by a talented photographer.

My "back" is for service Very Happy and I feel nervous looking at your shots.

Tripod of course and mirror lockup?

Hey Ron! Looks like we are at both extremes! And a long way from Maine to Washington!

I do like the last image as well, specifically because it was such a nice hike to some glorious mountain lakes.

Well, it's more that the terrain is so beautiful, that all I have to do
is point and shoot! No tripod and no mirror lock-up. I actually rested
the RB on a limb that was just right for the angle I wanted.

So is that your RB67 that is in for service?

Thanks tri! I feel a real compliment coming from you whom I admire
greatly for your images. Medium format is hard to beat, in my opinion.

I agree that the slides look magnificent on the light box, as well as
when I project on the wall. So bright, and it's almost as if "you are
there", right into the scene.

I LOVE digital imaging! It is a wonderful move for the technology of
photography, and is actually a sort of revolution. But man...I sure
like the look of transparencies as well.

Just luscious, Laurence! I've seen #3 before, a fave of mine, but all are
great shots! Slide film is king.

Thanks for sharing these!

Marvellous pictures again. No 2 is my favourite. Congrats!

I like the zig-zag of fallen trunks in #1, it makes for a striking composition.

No matter if these have been on before, they're always worth looking at again.

Awesome Shocked

I just adore them all, but that one with the wonky wooden walkway just held me for ages. I love photos where I start asking questions in my head, and then start to make up stories about it. Where is it? Where does it go? What's at the end? Are there monsters at night? Ok, the last one went too far Laughing

I bet if you go down there at night, it leads to Shrek's house (the big green Shrek, not photographers of the same name!)

Love them all. As they say in London; they're blindin' mate Wink
