p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Golden Gate, Clearing Storm in BW AND Color, 4x5


When I checked the weather last friday, it was going to spit rain til about an hour before sunset.
It didn't disappoint as there were clouds sun & a little rain.
The tide was a little higher than ideal and the surf lower
I also took some Velvia shots & will soon post

Taken with the Toyo 4x5, TMAX 100, 1.5 sec/f64 & a yellow filter.

Very pleasing scene, nicely captured and processed.

Makes me wish for my old 4x5 and the times I was able to shoot an 8x10 Deardorf.

Gorgeous shot, well captured. I shot 4x5 over 50 years ago, always loved the detail.

Well done. Good timing on the waves. I like your exposure/processing on this. Not sure the people add a lot, but they are not a major distraction.

Nice, crisp photo! Does it feel like it leans a bit left? I might straighten it to the right, and perhaps crop our a bit more of the sky at top.

Excellence capture.
I would straight the horizon just a bit to my taste.

Thanks all for the comments.
Taking B&W is a fun exercise that I don't do enough of.

I have posted the Velvia-color version of same scene.
Hope I've got the colors right! Checked them against a P&S shoot image for casts.

I've noted the comments about horizon. I had the tripod level & the camera.
Also, the towers appear to be vertical. But perception is reality so will take a closer look

prefer the B&W (although the color version looking kinda purple tinted may have me biased)

I agree, backing of on the magenta helps the Velvia considerably. Sill think I prefer the B&W. nice rich tonality.

I normally see and prefer colors, but this is one of very rare occasions when I like the B&W version! thanks for showing. Golden Gate never gets tired of being photographed!

Very pleasant and familiar scene. To my eyes the color version is shifted a bit toward magenta... :-)

The first reminds me of the beginning of an old black and white movie.

You guys are so kind
Finally noticed the green was a bit low so here's' the correction for the magenta
