Yashica 124G – negative slightly cropped.
One thing that can be said about Jebel Shams is that the weather never fails to impress, although getting the right exposure can be a real pain sometimes…. 🙂
I will not go into the scanning problems.
Storm coming over Jebel Misht.

Beautiful and brooding. (Goes well with the music on Conjure 1 : )
Thanks Karen,
Especially Damascus.
David.
Loving the different shades … very peaceful & lovely (:
Thank you Angela,
Pleased you like it.
David.
Fine picture with beautifully controlled subtle variations of tone.
Thanks Louis,
Although I must admit the tonal balance took a bit of achieving from the scan; fortunately I was able to compare a fibre print while looking at the screen.
It was then just down to how well peoples monitors were calibrated (not my problem 🙂 )

Stunning shot David. Love the receding tones and that wonderfully brooding sky. At least the call-outs get you away of that suffocating office! 🙂
Very true…… and the weather up there was very nice.
Work tomorrow and then a few days off in recompense for a disturbed weekend 🙂
Thanks for the comment much appreciated.
David.
Wonderful! Having the camera with you at work is a great plan, where ever work is. But this must be one of the all time best illustrations of that rule!
Thanks,
Unfortunately, I get a phone call early this morning and I am up there again today – grrrr but hay ho such is life.
We all need to earn a living and, at least it will get me away from 40c+ as at 10,000ft the temp will be about 24 – 26c.
David.
And, you will have your camera out and about with you! Here’s hoping for some fantastic sky and light 🙂
PS: I would trade that mountain in any weather for my cubicle farm without a window…
Ha, The grass is always greener….. 🙂 A long few days work !
But I sympathise, as my office leaves a lot to be desired….

Such a dramatic image and very ‘Biblical’ as eldinsmille says.
Thanks Victoria.
David.
The lines and layers are just gorgeous and I completely understand what eldinsmille means about biblical.. great job!
Thanks,
You should see the print – far better than I can get with my limited scanning abilities.
David.
The exposure seems to be very good, even with a stom comming!
Trying to keep the suns rays from blocking out and yet still see the graduated hills was a challenge – not to mention the sudden changes in light level.
But I like the Yashica, its a good compromise for 6×6 travel.
David.
Great photo!
Thank you – I’m lucky really because I do have to spend quite a bit of time on this mountain range (work….) so see it in all weather. Although I am sure there is a suspicion that I like the place as I always seem to have a camera with me.
David.
What a cool photo!
It´s almost “Biblical”, if you know what I mean!
Thanks Eldin,
Yes I do – almost expect the fickle finger of fate to pop out of the clouds,
David.
