Road Trip, Part 5

Medium format images

As promised, here are a few sneak previews of medium format images from the trip. All were shot with a Bronica ETRS and the Megavision 16 Megapixel E4 Monochrome back. I'm very pleased with the results -- I can't wait to get back home so I can put together properly finished versions ready for printing.

Joshua Tree

These trees are very strange indeed. I'm quite pleased with this image -- having no background detail other than sky with quite stark lighting has resulted in an extremely sharp result that should print very well. Shot with a 45-90 zoom with a deep red filter in Joshua Tree National Park, California.

Boulder and Joshua Tree

45-90 zoom, deep red filter, also in Joshua Tree National Park. Again, this gives the impression of being sharp down to the grain-of-sand level and should yield a nice print when I get the chance.

Off Route 66

The road you can see in the distance is actually Interstate 40, which occupies the track of the original Route 66. Again, 45-90 zoom, deep red filter, near the Petrified Forest National Monument in Arizona.

Wow, those are fantastic. Bring back tons of memories for me (Arizona girl at heart, and a rockclimber).

Would it be possible to beg/buy/trade for a print of the Boulder and Joshua Tree? I spent my 15th birthday climbing there, and did my first complete non-bouldering climb. That picture makes me smile and giggle and... yeah, happy making.

Yes, sure. It'll probably be a week or two by the time I get a chance to do it, but consider it On My List. :-)

I have some prints in my office (235 upstairs) at the moment. If you pick one, I'll be happy to mat and frame it for you.

Ooohhh, thank you! I'm home with a migraine right now (too drugged to drive). Can I come by tomorrow?

I'm sure that bolder has been in a star trek episode or two...

Cool, the joshua tree is fantastic!

And the middle picture makes me wish we'd have such boulders in this flat country (for climbing)...

I hope you post more photos later!

Beautiful. I'd love to see some of these in print.

Mmmm I like the old car picture particularly :)

[redcountess]

So do I. Despite not coping well with heat I'd really love to see this part of the USA myself.

Visit in the winter (i.e. now). It's warm, but not hot. Very pleasant actually.

Wow, those are stunning! I'm very impressed :)
