The result is a peak that stands alone and makes a great subject for the camera.
After spending the middle part of the day west of the national park along the river in Big Bend Ranch State Park, I stopped near Tule in the afternoon to try an image.
Being the afternoon and having another location for sunset, I decided to just do a black and white image of Tule.
The view is looking south, so I put on a polarizer to see if it would help the clouds pop slightly. I also used the orange filter to see if that might help darken the sky a little.
Otherwise, it was simply metering and adjusting the exposure for the two filters.Here is the result on Efke 25 with the DR-5 process for a b+w chrome.
I made two exposures to allow for a little safety in case I was off and then it was pack up and go for a sunset location.

This is a fine shot.
I'm going back to medium format film. It is expensive. I only use Velvia 100 and Ilford HP5, I bracket shoot every shot, the second, one half a stop under for velvia and one and a half to two for Ilford HP5.
I'm happy. I just got a big box of Bronica 64 gear so it's like looking again.
Large format is beyond me and the space available.
Thanks!
I know what you mean about expense. Every time I trip the shutter on a Velvia slide $5 is spent.
Between that and the end of Velvia as a 4x5 product I have to be very selective of when and how much film to use.
I sold my Mamiya several years back as it was not getting any use when I was already toting the Arca-Swiss around. Now a Canon 5D Mark 2 is my "other" camera. No film cost at all. :-)
Good luck with that Bronica, it is a great camera!
