Totem Pole detail

Detail from part of a totem pole at Thunderbird Park in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I took this photo back in 1994 on Kodak TMax 100 ASA 35mm black & white negative film using a Leica M2 rangefinder camera, equipped with it's standard lens, a 50mm f/2.8 Leica Elmar 'pancake' lens. I developed the film in Kodak TMax developer and kept it rated at 100 ASA. This is digitised from a 10x8 print that I made on Ilford Multigrade II RC paper, printed at grade 3 and subsequently bleached , redeveloped and selenium toned using solutions made by an expert chemist friend. Bleaching, redeveloping an toning was great fun, as it was possible to do in broad daylight, making it much easier to judge print density and toning quality as the process appeared before your very eyes! The print was scanned using an Epson XP-960 flatbed scanner and the scan was processed using Capture One Pro 21.
