W/NW Large format transparency landscapes

Large format color transparencies are incredible to look at, especially on a light table. It something I always wished I had done. I had a 4x5 camera for a short time, and used it for black and white, but it was too big and heavy for me, as even back then, 20 yrs ago, I wasn't able to carry that much weight around due to health issues. I sold the camera and lenses long ago.

Paul, your photo is gorgeous, I second Lynnb's suggestion: please post more.
 
Large Format Transparencies are one of the most beautiful ways to view an image I think...

For anyone interested, there is a Photographer named Ben Horne that shoots 8x10 Landscapes and has a Youtube series documenting his process and doing so. Well worth the watch.

So, there's some interest. i have to admit; I gave up 4x5 when the E-6 processing became hard to accomplish. I loved the meditative quality of large format photography, though.
Here's one: Twin Pond,Adirondacks, New York.

I love the way those hills and ridges just fade away into ever diminishing tones but without ever losing the amazing detail.
 
Those look amazing!


Always wanted to try E6 4x5 but came to it a bit late. B&w was much more affordable; and having occasional mishaps with dark slides and loading seemed to indicate my choice of sticking with b&w was the appropriate one.😱
