Dan, they are dogwoods. All of the shots are from the same location. This is an old cemetery so those trees may be pre-civil war era. May just have grown old. Possibly a different sub species? This cemetery resides in the nursery capital of the world, McMinnville, TN.
Jon,
The Dogwoods in Yosemite are pretty scrawny/spindly
Often a thin stalk 2 to 4 inches/dia along side a larger tree.
When you see one that "looks" like a full tree it almost always is 2 or 3 trunks together.
Now if you plant them as these in TN seem to be, probably can keep them more isolated??
In Yosemite they have to struggle with the other trees.
I was told that attempts to plant them are minimally successful because of the cold winters

Jon, really like those limestone shots. Sometimes, well "white is white"
Have about 30 images, LF & MF out to the lab from a Yosemite trip past weekend.
Shot some Ilford Pan F too
Dan
Me too, Dan. Especially the LF. I'm going out to Taos in August with my Shen-hao and Cambo 4X5s, among others. Looking forward to trying to shoot something on a larger scale than what I can find here in College Station TX.
From the Canonet with a roll of Portra 400.
Took a few of these on my bike rides
Not so sure about how I handled the colors as opposed to Ektar
But I do like how the Canonet handles exposure, the lens & RF focus
Went on a drive with the wife and hit a bunch of antique stores. Scored an canon fd35/2 for a whopping $8. User condition with a small scratch on the front element but no fungus or haze. I figured this was a score for me
Wow......a lot of great shots in the thread recently. Awesome work to one and all. I've been away for the past week, out shooting in Kyoto, Japan. My third trip there, I never tire of the city. Here's the damage done.....lots of processing to do. I'll be mixing up a new gallon of D-76 tomorrow.
5 rolls of Ektar
11 rolls of Acros
2 rolls of Neopan 400
2 rolls of Astia 100F (220 size)
2 rolls of Provia 400X
1 roll of TMAX 400
3 rolls of Velvia 50
2 rolls of Superia Premium
If anybody has a GF670 / Bessa III who wants to lend it to me for a trip I am about to take, give me a shout! I'll post all the results here. Really don't want to schlep my Rollei with me and the modern folders look pretty light and portable.

Sorry I can't help you out with a GF670, but I have to chime in and say, it is almost impossible to imagine a more portable 6 x 7 camera than this Fuji/Voightlander. The GF670 folds up so small that I almost forget I am carrying it when out and about. Such small size, light weight, and staggering image quality are a joyful combination.

You got your work cut out for you! Surprised to see the Kodak film mixed in with the lot
Not too many options for print film at 120 size. I wanted saturated colors which eliminates all the Fujifilm film that is available for medium format. I was tempted to buy 10 rolls of Reala that is still here in China, but at $14 per roll, that's VERY expensive, so I went with Kodak.
Why Fuji doesnt make Superia for 120 is inexplicable.
