Quite nice, I look forward to seeing more of your work. Have you had the Deardorff long?
I've never used one but some of the photographers I had worked with long ago started out photographing for the furniture industry here in NC and Deardorff cameras won a permanent lock on their hearts; they loved those cameras above all others!
I forgot to add that if I had a chance to own a quality large format camera, a vintage Deardorff field camera would be at the top of the list of possibilities, the only other cameras that have come close to the word of mouth recommendations by professionals in my experience have been the Leica rangefinders, the Canon F1's and Hasselblads of yesteryear.
Cheers

I'd like to see a large print! I'm sure you have your reasons for posting a small image, but a landscape shot on 8x10 deserves better than a 600x370 jpeg.
Was this taken during the recent fires?

I shot this a few days ago and took advantage of the smoke affect from the recent fire. I used Fujichrome 100. The Deardorff is a very well made camera. Mine was made in 1954.

Shooter of Film...
You're going to force me to break-out the 4x5 and do some LF shooting...
How did you determine the exposure for this shot?

I took four shots. They were 30 seconds, 1 minutes, 2 minutes, and 4 minutes. The 2 minute and 4 minutes had the best results. I took this photo right after sunset.

Wonderful shot guy. I can not imagine how much fun a 8x10 must be. There is something special about LF negatives, the depth is unreal.
Keep sharing, it's getting my fingers itching for some focusing cloth time.
Thanks.

Downtown L.A. after nightfall always reminded me of that movie 'Escape from New York".
Broadway and 5th may be one of the last places on earth you want to be once the sun goes down... ;-)
Nice pic though.
