I find most of the forms pretty straight-forward, almost like a postcard shot. The exceptions being the tin-can siding, the Bodie power box, and the hot springs shot. I guess those are my favorites because they are a little less 'typical', though I really like the shot with the silvery trees behind the Aspens too - just gorgeous. On a side note, I find digital representations of trees to always leave me a little disappointed. No matter what resolution they are shot or scanned at, it seems the leaves just look compromised in comparison to the chromes. Maybe it is the nature of the final output device (my monitor) but I see that in my prints too, both my 2400 dpi scans on a cheapo Epson printer and those from a Fuji Frontier minilab. Do you find the same thing with your high-res scans? I wonder what it takes to get landscapes, particularly leaves, to look good in digital... Cheers, and thanks for the fine post! - - marc p.s. the Portra shots look really nice too - sometimes a little more dynamic range is helpful :-) and the color in that film is quite nice, if a bit more subdued than your fantastic E6 stock.
