Leaning

Local ruins just up the road a few miles. Pretty busy scene. I've taken test photos of this subject, but this is my first cut film effort. I think I can do better, so I'm going to keep at it. The desert summer furnace is lit, so doing things in the morning and heat precautions to keep film from getting cooked are in effect.

 

Taken a couple days ago, then spent yesterday developing, scanning and editing it and four other 8x10 images taken that day. I'll post two of them in the coming days.

 

Intrepid 8x10 MkII

Schneider Kreuznach G-Claron 240mm ƒ9 @ƒ45

Tiffen R25 red filter

General Electric PR-1 Exposure Meter c. early 1960's

Shanghai GP3 100 @50

Rodinal 1:50 for 8 minutes @ 21.8°C

Developed as a single sheet in a Paterson 5-reel tank.

Scanned in five vertical strips on my Epson Perfection V550 Photo that were then stitched together with PanoramaStitcher for Mac.

 

First photo with the Intrepid 8x10. I've had it nearly two months, but it had some deficiencies that required correction before it could be used. Then it took a bit for the Sinar to Linhof adapter to arrive - since nearly all my lenses are on Linhof boards. And I fabricated a bail for it. That took the longest to complete.

 

The next time I go there, I need to check to see if that's a true icebox made for a block of ice to be thrown into.
