Dune Pattern and Storm Clouds, Death Valley National Park, California

Dune Pattern and Storm Clouds, Death Valley National Park, California  1983

Photographed in 1983 with a Wista 4×5 Field Camera

Last week, when a client asked me to show him some dune images, my eyes lit up.  I happily sent him a selection of jpgs to review.  This process got my memory in gear and I recalled a couple of DV images I’d been wanting to scan.  I used to make Cibachrome prints of this image, but somehow it has remained languishing and unscanned in my file cabinets.

The 4×5 film was scanned using my Epson Perfection V750 Pro, which gives me excellent results when the film is fluid-mounted.

Enjoy,  Bill

Agave in Color

Agave, Island of Maui • Wista SP4x5 Field Camera

I am posting the color rendition of my Agave, Hawaii photograph.  I am very pleased with both versions.

Do you prefer one over the other?  I am leaning towards the BW version, but still love the rich color and strong contrasting lines seen here.

Enjoy!   Bill

New BW Agave image…

Agave, Island of Maui, Hawaii

Here is a newly scanned 4×5 image of an agave taken on Maui in 1994.  We are working on both color and BW versions, and found many compelling directions.  Thanks to John O’Connor for the great scanning and PS work.  Stay tuned for more variations.  I think that there is an article to write about exploring many options with one image.

Thanks for joining me here,

Bill
