Wow, Thanks Ray, I can never quite judge the reaction to the personal ones, I almost didn't post this one but pleased it struck a chord.

Which film did you use here? and if you did process it by yourself, can you tell what developer you used?

Impressive work and great tonal range and details the whole frame.

This original is actually on color film, Fuji Astia, scanned and converted in Silver Effects Pro 2. The lighting was very soft and dim, just a little late afternoon illumination from a couple windows.

Oh i see, so then i will go and buy more color films to use, and i heard that neg is more latitude than the slide, but you managed to convert this color slide to B&W nicely, don't know if you shoot with B&W film it may give same result.

I made a couple B&W exposures of this scene at the time I made the color one and located the film today. When I get a chance I will scan the B&W and compare results. I had the color version already scanned and was working with it in SEP 2. That is the reason I posted the conversion. Hopefully the B&W scan will be just as good or better.

Here's an image taken in April of the Jefferson Memorial with the blooming Cherry Blossoms around midnight.
Horseman 4x5, SK 210mm apo, Acros, F22. Two shots: one 10 min exposure & one 90 sec exposure for the Jefferson blended.
Thanks for looking.

Very nice results from the blended exposures.
