Thanks again, I was thinking of doing a screen shot sequence in addition to showing preparation to capture, processing, etc. I'll work on it..... this winter! No time to spare right now.

Film....... purely masterful.
I'd love to see your processing steps after you scan to digital.

Thank you Dave. I appreciate the nice comment.

Hello Russ. Thank you. The traditional photographic methods, AKA film photography. Not entirely of course as the scanned image is enhanced in Photoshop.

Mark, Thank you. This image was taken in April, so yes I am still pushing the envelope with film and the 6x7. If you decide to go forward, I can supply you with some E200 fresh from my feezer. I got plenty to share. I'm currently shooting Fuji Acros for a B&W series featuring the southern summer Milky Way. They should be good. I'll be sure to post. Thanks again.

This is a sweet shot - just wondering what "traditional photographic methods" involves. :)
