Fantastic print! The composition with the shape of top branches reflecting the shape of the rocks in the bottom is really appealing.

Really nice symmetry you found there!

That's a great shot! Thanks for sharing. I'm impressed that you have a tripod with you as well. Must be a heavy pack!

I'm not nearly as good at downhill, so I have avoided taking a camera for fear of falling on it. A Hasselblad might be a bit heavy to take cross country skiing! My Rolleicord was on the limit... A Zeiss Ikon 6x6 folder fits neatly in the wax belt with a Reveny Labs spot meter.

Brought my x100v cross-country skiing on a wonderful, crisp -18°C morning.

I might have seen tracks from a wolf in the snow at this location. A pair of wolves are confirmed to live here. The step size, length, and behavior matched, and no trace of human steps around.

Dense fog today. Took my 4x5 camera out for a spin.

The cover of "Land" really speaks to me. I had to head over to AbeBooks and order a copy!

I had similar symptoms when I used old fixer (first of two baths) where silver had started to precipitate. It happened during the summer when we had 30°C.

Haha. I'll tell them that next time it happens.

I think this image was placed ~30 amongst ~60 images by the way.

Strapped a Rolleicord to my back instead of a wax belt when out cross country skiing.

Tonight I had a productive evening in the darkroom. Three fiber prints from FP4+ negatives taken with my homemade pinhole camera during the 100km+ hike me and my wife did this summer.

Parametric Daylight Developing Tank for Single Sheet Film by Mikael M | Download free STL model | Printables.com

I just published the daylight developing tray I've designed and used to develop my 4x5 negatives. I've used 120ml of D76 1:1. Even development and no light leaks so far. I printed it in black PetG.

There's still flowers in the local park, but I'm thinking that autumn leaves might work to. I'll have to bring the plastic with me though.

What a beautiful collection of images. It makes me want to try something similar.

I taped my home made wooden pinhole camera to my guitar and danced around the living room to smoothen out the background. My family thinks I'm weird.

I entered this to a competition (theme: music) at my local camera club for fun.

Digital scan.

Stones dominate the barren landscape. A sun-lit rain shower illuminates a distant mountain. A lonely pine stands out on a crest

Two weeks ago me and my wife went on a 100 km-something backpack through Femundsmarka, Rogen, and Långfjället with tent. We had very mixed weather, which resulted in some beautiful photographic conditions.

I also had my pinhole camera, but the negs need to be developed.
