Thank you. I am going against the trend it seems - it is amazing how compact can G617 and Rollei 6008 with 80 or 90 macro be in a small backpack ;-) No room left for water though so one has to be careful. The day before I visited the park was one of those spectacular nuclear AZ sunsets but of course I was slacking and decided not to take cameras with me. When I finally did day after, the sky initially gave much promise but it turned out to be too cloudy on the west side for the setting sun to put much glow. Anyway at least this time I kept in mind some instructions from G617 manual, accounted for center filter light loss, used ND filter and I think I got exposure about right. Now I have to work on keeping the scene in better focus.
BTW, it is really nice to look at the slides on the light table. Quite a fun to view them that way (with loupe) with friends.
unrelated but related, still! i would buy this asap, for polaroid 4x5 usage, but, money talks, just not too me! I am near saved for darkroom items, however! xD
Beautiful camera, and 4x5 is a lovely process. I don't believe there are currently any Polaroid 4x5 films available. A shame, Pola 55 was wonderful. Easy enough to develop 4x5 at home though (Google "the taco method" for more info)

Adan76, I was born in 1976 too if that's what the name implies? xD I think Polaroid by fujifilms has the 4x5 instant print available, pricey, but available! I don't know if it would be wise, financially, however, 8X10 is out, and I do loves Polaroids!
Addendum: I see that the ISO is 400, was there a reason for this, hand hold ability, perhaps, or maybe for an artistic approach? Thanks for sharing, and, once more, great capture!
