Trolley Line Pilings

Sinar F, Fujinon 135mm f5.6, Kodak Aerocolor 2460, 4x5.

 

This image marks several first for me. This is my very first exposure on 4x5 large format, my very first sheet loaded in a film holder, and the first time developing C-41 at home. Phew. I had 2 sheets come out pretty well, and two that are super dense - my own fault for mis-exposures.

 

This is an old trolley line near one of my favorite spots to take pictures some 25 years ago near a an abandoned (and now completely gone) amusement park, Only the concrete infrastructure of this old trolley line remains here, now overgrown with forest.

 

A lot of folks don't seem to care for the color cast this Aerocolor 2460 film (aka Santacolor) has - but I kind of dig it. Cool with magenta-leaning shadows. Got the super-shaded deep, dark tones of these woods quite nice I think. It's a look, for sure.
