Thanks! I have a roll of Ortho 32 ISO, but haven't tried it yet. What's special about the Ortho film?
Ortho film has a completely different colour response than your typical Panchromatic film. Ortho film is very sensitive to blues, somewhat sensitive to greens and almost completely insensitive to reds. Panchromatic film has roughly similar sensitivity to all colours.

I've been thinking about using ortho film for ultraviolet photography for those reasons--insensitivity to red mimics a lot of pollinators' vision and insensitivity to infrared makes filtratrion easier--and I'm curious how it works for "normal" photography.
4x5 HP5+ @320 in Rodinal 1:50 for 10 minutes.
Crown Graphic Special - Caltar 75mm f/6.8 @f/32. Metered time of 6 seconds exposed for 36 to account for reciprocity.
Great shots everyone. Just a question for all the film shooters posting in here, are all of these photos generally scanned prints, or scanned negatives? Thanks

Wow! Breath-taking!
Thank you very much! I was surprised when I finished developing the negative. I didn't think much 4x5 turned out from the Redwoods.

Mine are scanned negatives and I think most in here are.
Thanks for the comment Simon! Saw your photos on LargeFormat as well. I think it's a great set. The structure and providing the surroundings gives each photo the context that is needed on account of their craft. I do agree with the criticism one provided on how they are all generally middle ground. It definitely works but perhaps a bit more variety in perspective and composition would have worked too. Just my opinion. Great set anyway!

Would love some critique.
Simon, I really like the special look of the set, especially the "uncommon" colors in the digital age.
However, I like the interior images without the people much better than the others. I would have gone much closer to the persons personally, avoiding too much "clutter" that is not important to capture the personality of the individuals. I would have probably split the series in interiors that describe the space in which the persons live and work and describing the work itself and in close-up portraits that show the individuals themselfs.
