Hello!
I'll be visiting my friend in Boulder, Colorado in the beginning of April.
My friend showed me his photos of the nearby parks and landscapes and he
said to me: "you should come here with your 4x5 camera so we could shoot
some chromes". I believed him and I'm planning to take my wooden 4x5
Wista with me. Can you suggest some places that I should definetly visit,
please? My friend has been living in Boulder for two years but I'd like to
hear ideas from photograpers?
I've been reading the previous posts on this subject but they were mostly
about flights inside the USA. I'll be flying from Finland via Stockholm
and Chigago. (16+ hours of traveling for less than $40 per hour, not bad
eh?  I travelled with my Wista to Stuttgart last year using the cheapo
airline Ryanair without problems.
I've figured that I'll pack my stuff like this:
Carry-on
- Wista wrapped inside the darkcloth and inside a small padded bag
- additional lens(es) inside a padded pouch
- film (QL Velvia)
- possibly filters + accessories (3-stop hard-step grad, UV filter,
polarizer)
Check-in:
- Tripod + accesories
- light meter
- film holder
- other accessories
I'll pack my carry-on stuff inside a small backpack which should pass as a
carry-on luggage. Also, I'll make sure I'm within the weight limits.
There is always a risk that the check-in luggage does not arrive at the
same time as myself. The above configuration would render my camera
useless unless I buy some new holder and meter. I recall my friend has a
Manfrotto 055 so I can leave my tripod home. I'll have to check this one
out. Should I move the holder and meter to carry-on? Also, should I check
the airline(s) (SAS) about my camera equipment?
My plan with film is that since I acquired quite a lot of QuickLoad Velvia
with the Wista, I'll take a couple of bags of it with me. I have also a
test piece of QL film, which I can show to the security. When I've
arrived, I'll take a couple of test photos and develop them in the local
lab (there is one, my friend checked it) and see if the film is ok. If it
is not, then I'll buy new film. I'll try to get most/all of the film
processed before the return trip so that should not be a problem. What do
you think about this plan? Also, any ideas on the test photos?
Please let me know what do you think. Thanks.

Anywhere in Colorado is good for landscape. All depends
on what you want to shoot (eastern plains, mountains,
western deserts.) A few places within short driving/
hiking distance of Boulder:
* The Flatirons/Boulder Mountain Park.
* Hike the Mesa Trail or Green Mountain.
* Visit the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
(designed by architect I.M Pei with access to trails.)
* Rocky Mountain National Park, 40 miles northwest.
* Garden of the Gods, 90 miles south in Colorado Springs.
* Red Rocks Amphitheater, 20 miles south near Morrison.
* Any of several scenic mountain passes west of Denver
(Loveland, Guanella, Kenosha.)
April is a snowy month and most mountain areas above
9,000ft/2800 meters west of Boulder will have deep snow.
But if it's dry weather hiking in Boulder Mountain Park
is doable. At all the above places get up early for the
sunrise.

The best large format E6 lab in Colorado is Reeds Photo
in Denver. If you want good consistent professional
processing take your film there.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

Hello Mikko,
I would say that Colorado is one of the most photogenic States in the
USA. You find thousands of locations which justify 4x5inch camera work
and weight. If you like to see one of the best photographers in Colorado
( at least one of the most successful ) go to John Fielder's website
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.johnfielder.com" target="_blank">http://www.johnfielder.com</a> .Most of his work is done here and he
published dozends of books. If you like to see what I did and do, go to
my website at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.gnyman.com." target="_blank">http://www.gnyman.com.</a>
Email me if you need further information - the feedbacks you received
already by now are excellent and highly recommended to follow.

Now you did it ;^) Successful because he owns his own
publishing company. John Ward is better and knows more
(almost anyone knows more about LF than JF.)
If one is going to talk photographers, Colorado has
provided landscape photographers with subject matter
since John C. Fremont's 1853 expedition. From William
Henry Jackson to Ansel Adams to innumerable modern
chrome photographers, there are many, many who are
better. Successful * best.

Fortunately the mountains have gotten more snow this year, so we'll keep
our fingers crossed that the state will have fewer fires this year. And
April, when the original poster was planning to visit, isn't usually a
month when fires or fire-related haze are a problem. Spring showers or
snow are more likely to be a temporary problem then.
Tom Phillips and others have already provided some good advice on where
to head from Boulder. However, in addition to Reed Photo, not far from
my old studio in Denver, Photocraft lab in Boulder generally does good
processing and finishing work.

Thank you for the tips! I'll discuss these with my friend while we're
planning my trip. We can use a car so longer distances are not a problem.

Snow is not a problem. I live in central Finland and we have 50+cm (20
inches) of snow at the moment. I just have to remember that when
packing my clothes. We don't have mountains here though...

Thanks! I think I'll consider that or the "Photo Craft" mentioned in later
postings. Are there any stores that sell used (LF) photo gear in
Boulder/Denver?

Thank you for the link! The "Hot spots" section seemed to offer quite much
info so I definetly have to look at the forum later.

The Camera Trader in south Denver, or Englewood Camera which is further
south, generally have the most interesting assortment of used equipment,
including some large format gear.
Have fun. ...pt

Boulder canyon
Town of Golden (south)
Clear Creek Canyon and all the old mining towns up the canyon
That will take up days!

Weather is most important. The snow can be bad and dangerous, spring
can mean high water in the mountains and flash floods if an ice dam
breaks (I had that happen to me in 73) May thru OCT is best.

When I lived in Colorado and Northern NM (I'm in Australia now) I
picked up an old 90mm roll film back and put it on a Crown Graphic.
It was easier than carrying around 114 film holders! I could get 220+
shots from it and it was far cheaper to process than sheet film and
you got a 86x125mm image. If you shot color neg the lab also did a
long roll contact print run (Pro-Lab on East Evans... don't even know
if they are still in business).

Ok. I'm used to snow but I've no experience of snow in mountain areas. We
have to take that into account. Before I got the idea of traveling to
Boulder, I enrolled to a glacier climbing/travel course held in March. I
think I'll have to prepare some questions to the techers. My friend has
done winter hiking so we're not going there totally unprepared.

I have a quickload holder so it is not a problem. I had the QL holder
and 30+ QL sheets with me last summer on a 6-day hike in Finnish Lapland.
