Thanks, Bulent!
I have been pursuing this project on and off for over a decade, and
since I started it with film I'm continuing it with film. I find that
the woods in broad daylight have that dreamy quality at times. In the
summertime the woods are just shades of black, white and green - easily
transcribed to B&W film - so I lean towards that and develop myself. I
have also used a XI green filter with good result with mono film.
I don't know about color negative film. I shoot a good bit of it in the
fall in the 6x7 but just do straight exposures, no pushing or pulling.
At that time of year I am more interested in capturing the colors in the
the scene. In the summer it is more about the tonality as the color is
all just green.
For me it is very much about the journey and not about the destination -
or maybe to say, about the process and not the results. I find learning
- speculation, experimentation, affirmation of expectations or utter
total surprises - to be pleasurable, regardless of the result.

Mark,
I understand that you are aiming high.
Your image has a dreamy quality about it which is quite inviting...
I wish I could use my 105mm sometime soon...
I was thinking about using color negative film.
Do you think I can use monochrome film,
expose for the shadows and develop for the highlights?
I have the chemicals and the curiosity!
Do I need more?
The color path sounds easier as I can overexpose a few stops
and do my tricks (if needed) during post processing.
The film will be processed by a local lab, of course...
Or should I concentrate on the journey rather than the destination?
