Thanks Mark. I think I might try and return there on a more uniformly overcast day. As it was, clouds were moving fast and the light was changing from one minute to the next. Not easy conditions for LF photography! I tried my best to get the contrast to within 4 stops or so but even so, I think I wa...

Gorges de l'Areuse, Switzerland

Hello all!

Just thought I'd do the decent thing and say 'hi' to everyone before wading in with my opinions... :D I got myself an Ebony RSW45 back in March and have been having huge amounts of fun with it ever since. I went for the Ebony over a Toyo because... well, it may be expensive but it's a work of art in...
