This was also taken my first summer in Japan from a famous spot called "Lookout Point" in Japanese. They say that under the best conditions there are nine separate layers of mountains to be seen.
And I have to adress you respectfully as such because I was only thirteen, (going on the BIG 50 now), when this very fine B&W image was taken, but screams panoramic per the attached with one of my own Patented simple clean frame presentations that you can have for absolutely free!
I know the whole story about this place as my wife is Japanese from Iwate but of course quite a distance from this particular location in the image.
Anyway, ... I don't know at all about the equipment used here, but it recorded this scene quite exceptionally I might say and I can't believe that TRI-X has been around that long ... not to doubt you or Kodak of course!
Great image, very serene, just in need of a little crop as I previously mentioned ...
Domo Arigoto!
P.S. Should have alot more views by now, so I hope this critique puts it back in circulation at least once more and for a little while!
Ahh, the old art of B&W mountain landscapes, always a pleasure to watch it if made by an ecpert. The tones get bright towards the background in perfectly set steps.
Impressive shot and nice greytones. Besides; our topic, I prefer underexposure to avoid burn out in high contrast situations. Regards Rob. Pls. see my latest, the same there.
