As I posted before, we had a great day at Yosemite on Friday. One of the 
venues we shot was right after lunch; it was a view from the valley floor 
west. The valley meadow was occasionally glowing with breakthroughs of the 
sun and had lush grasses and flowers.

So I decided this was a large format type of scene and walked out into the 
bog and rain, unbrella and 4x5 in hand. Of course by the time I set up, it 
had clouded up quite a bit more, but toward the end the sun broke through 
onto the grasses and I was able to get off a few sheets.

I developed them yesterday. Unfortunately, I think the 1st E-6 developer was 
too old to complete the process, but I'm not sure.
Such are the perils of film... I'll just have to go back :-)

The scan is here:

Any input on saving this image (particularly the purpleness of the sky and 
mountains) would be appreciated. The transparency pretty much looks like 
this scan (Velvia 50).

Best,
Bob
