I only print images that might qualify for a place on a wall. I take my rubbish pictures with a digital. I thought this might have a wall space but it’s empty. I only share it because the range of tones within the paper are truly incredible. It has everything in the scale of white to black beautifully spaced apart. I have never printed an image that has such a wide range like this one has.
Incidentally it’s from a Rolleiflex F3.5 with a Planar. The glass in this little box far exceeds my Hasselblad glass, I never thought I would admit that but I finally do.

Unfortunately I did not see the two humans in this, otherwise I would have waited more but I was concentrating on the positioning of the cloud.

James, in the last few years, you'd be hard-pressed to find only 2 people in your frame. The place has become an Instagram Mecca, and the parking lot is full by 6:30 a.m....or earlier w those waiting for the iPhone sunrise shot over Moraine Lake & they're turning people back at the road entrance 7 miles away at the LLouise road junction.

Hadn't used my Sonnar for nine years. Almost forgot I had it, so I took it for a spin.
