Photography
Related: About this forumThis is a very early photo, from before I went digital. It was scanned from film.
We were in Wyoming, I think, where I got this photo. I thought it was good enough to resurrect!

CaliforniaPeggy
(156,142 posts)Wyoming has clouds in addition to mountains and the occasional rainbow!

(100,008 posts)I like all the features mentioned above but I also like the shadow of the clouds on the landscape! I'm merely a few miles from the Wyoming border, it sure does look a lot like that around here. It's hard to find a not scenic view, though how you capture it makes all the difference.
I like looking through my old pictures, I can usually find one or two worth bringing back to the surface.
This is a good one!
CaliforniaPeggy
(156,142 posts)I agree: the shadows and clouds are beautiful.
When I was there, and saw the rainbow, I knew i had to try and capture it. I was thrilled when it worked!

(156,142 posts)They're still in albums that have proved to be heavy! I did a few from that trip. Maybe they'll see the light of day sometime.

(707 posts)Maybe I'm just REALLY old, but, I think theres just something very artistic about old fashioned film and time in the dark room.
I also still have a crush on Orville & Wilbur Wright, both of whom are only slightly older than me 🤭🤣
CaliforniaPeggy
(156,142 posts)I'm afraid darkrooms are beyond me! And I'm sure you're nowhere near Orville & Wilbur Wright's age!
I have found my home in the digital world and there I expect to stay!

Looks great! What's the scanner you used?
CaliforniaPeggy
(156,142 posts)I'm not sure which scanner I used, since they break down and get replaced quite often (every 3 or 4 years!)
Right now I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 6978. It works very well--so far!

I love it when the light shows up the vast depth and texture of a landscape.

Thank you so much.
I love the light in this photo too.
