Linhof used to have a beautiful magazine devoted to large format and the Linhof equipment, do you remember what it was called? Printing was photo gravure I think, exquisite.
My main influence was Arizona Highways, the colour printing process they used as far back as the 1950s was incredible. Don't know if they have maintained that standard over recent years. Had to drop the subscription at some point back in the 80s.

Somewhere hidden in deep storage I have one of David Muench's coffee table books on Bristle Cone pines. Will maybe get around to digging it out this winter.
 
Alright folks. Here is my review and selection for this weeks contest.
Let me say that I appreciate all the submissions. It’s a difficult thing to choose the best ones.

My reviews are short and to the point.


@akash.nu - Wonderful silhouette. The light is perfect. Great composition !

@AxisOfBeagles - Terrific to see that monochrome doesn’t necessarily mean black and white. All those tones of pink and red. Great lighting as well.

@Hughmac - Lovely and ethereal view of the willow. Infrared can make some images look ‘alien’, but with this it is a great effect.

@someoldguy - A lonesome pine on the edge of a cliff. Dramatic.

@mollyc - Oh those red tones and special treatments. Lovely.

@Fravin - Epic. The light and dark balance well. I’m thinking that’s the statue in Rio, Brazil, yes ?

@OldMacs4Me - Vintage beauty captured. Wonderful submission.

@Allyance - This has a bit of a horror film vibe to it. Nicely done.

@Janichsan - Monochrome works well to bring out the details of what appears to be wood grain.

@Slartibart - Sunset pano. Well done. Maybe it’s my eye, but the horizon might be a bit off.

@Apple_Glen_UK - Dark and gloomy and just a bit soft feeling. Like it’s in the mist. Beautifully captured.

@Clix Pix - Now I have that song in my head….. Nicely captured.

@gaswerks - Epic capture. Wonderful contrast and lighting.

So then:
Third Place - @gaswerks
Second Place - @Apple_Glen_UK
First Place - @Fravin

Thank you all again for your entries.
 
Awesome work. Congratulations to everyone. Looking forward to the next one.
 
Wow! :eek:

You are correct, @stillcrazyman it's the Rio's statue. In this day we had a tropical storm, which flipped the weather. Those clouds were being pushed by high speed winds from the coast. And I was there if the camera.

Thank you very much!

I would like to thank you all for posting such high quality pictures!
