Bridge at Hobart
An old railroad bridge downstream from the dam on Lake George at Hobart, IN.
Photographed on Efke 100 plate film. The film was pre-exposed 3 stops down from the actual exposure setting. I metered for proper exposure with a Sekonic 758DR spot meter, then metered through an Expodisk diffuser. I took the latter meter reading adjusted down 3 stops then pre-exposed the film through the expodisk. I then photographed the scene. Compared with the straight shot, pre-exopsure eliminated some obnoxious bright highlights as well as bring out shadow detail. I used a 180 mm lens on a Horseman VH-R field camera along with a Wratten 15 deep yellow filter.
