Desert Bonsai
pagoda buckwheat, Eriogonum rixfordii
My first photo taken with a Packard shutter. My first still life with 8x10.
Agfa Ansco C-1 8x10 link also shows the studio setup for this photo.
Graphic-Kowa ƒ9 360mm
Packard Shutter
Hoya HMC Y [K2] yellow filter
Fomapan 400 @200
Meter said 4 seconds for an aperture of ƒ64; reciprocity said that needed to be 18 seconds.
HC-110G per MDC and adjusted for the 25.3°C temperature of the developer - it’s summer in the desert and the house AC is set to 78°F.
Developed as a single sheet in a Paterson 5-reel tank with a piece of a large pool noodle stuffed over the center column - it reduces the required fluid by half.
Scanned in multiple strips on my Epson Perfection V550 Photo that were then stitched together with PanoramaStitcher for Mac.
I drilled a hole in the rock with a concrete drill bit. The dead/dried plant's stems are stuffed into the hole.
The low for the day was 80°F/27°C, so was in the low 80's when I photographed this in the morning; it went on to reach 110°F/43°C by 4:00 pm; then came thunder, flickering lights, wind and several rounds of rain. What a day!
