It is my current understanding that 9x6, while not officially LF, is permitted here in the Lounge. If this is false, please let me know and I'll kill this message thread.

Kenai River, Alaska a few weeks ago:

I cannot recall for certain, but some in this series were shot through a #29 red filter, and this may have been one of them.

Indeed, a number in our party had fish that sacrificed themselves so we could eat red salmon

I grew up in Alaska (to the extent that I grew up at all) and began my photographic journey there. Going back and visiting again gives me a chance to see the land and the light anew every time. The light is really challenging that far north. Even on the rare fully sunny days, it hits at odd angles. More often than not, it's a grey and dull light that has to be carefully managed.
