Impounded reflection
Railroad trestle at Hamilton Michigan just above the dam ruin on the Rabit River. The state wants to remove the dam which creates the impoundment upon which the bridge is reflecting.
Photographed on Efke 25 plate film using a Horseman VH-R field camera and a 90mm lens. It was about 5:00 pm on a blue sky afternoon and the sun was essentially to the camera's right. I used both an orange and red filter for this shot and decided on the red Wratten 25. The scene was on the edge of where I would normally use this filter. However, the orange just did not bring out the contrast of trestle vs the background. I metered using the Sekonic L-758DR through the filter stack on the blue sky as medium grey and set the lens accordingly as is my standard practice for this film. Exposure was 1 s.
