Interesting. Would not have guessed that as the sky is quite pale in some of the shots. Was the day generally gray or overcast? I like the look with texture in the sky but you can not always get that look I suppose even with a filter.

Yeah, clouds were starting to move I in as we got to the beach.

If you were using a warming filter and not a true red filter that may explain the lack of contrast in some of the sky shots. A true red filter can be extreme in its effect and will knock off 3 stops of speed which can be tough with Pan F. If I had to use one contrast filter it would be yellow-green, then maybe an orange. Most pick yellow as a first black and white filter but the impact is often small.

The red filter was 3 stops of light loss...I was checking with my sekonic 478 to make sure my in the meter in the Mamiya was reading correctly.

Beautiful images, Clint! I love the last one, but I'd love to see the covered bridge in color.
