I came across a reference to the work of Jack Brauer, who specializes in mountain locales. Most of the images are the result of work with a 4x5 camera. Take a look: http://www.widerange.org/
Jack lives in Ouray, and keeps a blog at http://www.mountainphotographer.com/
Recently Jack posted a comparison of compact cameras that work well for his type of photography. He talks about the Fujifilm F30, the Ricoh GX100, and the Sigma DP1. Check out his comments here
