Maybe, but E100VS also really exaggerates blues, so for overcast conditions it can be a bit of a problem.Taken in Munising, Michigan

Looks like I am getting some flare on long exposures.

Thank you FYI! They are absolutely timeless. PramotePramote, Thanks very much. I shot these a while ago now (80s) and have never had a audience for them before now. It is a positive side of the internet that you can show to your peers work that would otherwise be confined to negative sleeves or the odd print around the house. I actively shoot still (digital) but the pull of large format is still there and am weakening by the week. On a side note it is interesting to see that my view of the world has not moved on by any large degree, not sure if that is good or bad?

Love this shot! Get yourself a good spotmeter, meter per the Zone system and learn to trust in it -- and of course know your film's reciprocity errors! In the end, you will quickly save the cost of the meter in film alone, let alone ending the frustrationsSame set up as above. This was the first image that met my vision, albeit a slightly flawed execution. I saw the left hand rock from the top of the banking, the quartz lines caught my eye along with the far bank and mid stream rock. The foreground is under tree cover and the light was fading, I metered using my trusty Weston 3 (I know, but it was all I could afford) but hardly got a glimmer, ended up metering off the white sheet of my notebook and calculating back. Could hardly see to focus (what's a flash light?) and with an exposure of 4 1/2 mins. at f16 decided not to stop down any more:facesmack: Anyway you will note that the top of the left hand rock is not quite sharp and the neg is very thin in the foreground (probably needed 20 mins at f22). It does look nice at 8x10 or A4 though and I still smile when I look at the print in my front room.

I can't get enough of this photo. It is fascinating.
