Drawbridge, Sandford, Nova Scotia

This is a color version of an identical B&W image posted on August 29th... "Miss Marla" moored beside the drawbridge that spans the small channel connecting the box shaped inner harbor to a tidal pond beyond. This small pond area, full at high tide, drains completely at low water, any boats present resting on the bottom. Ross Durkee Road is in the background, beneath the bridge. I spent about 15 minutes shooting from this position, hoping to get a pic with a gull sitting atop all four bridge supports, but had to settle for one where just two were occupied.

 

Taken with my old 6x9 Century Graphic, 180mm f5.5 Voigtlander Technika-Telomar lens in Synchro-Compur shutter, Kodak Ektachrome 100 film. The faded and color shifted transparency was copied using a Nikon D3500 camera, 55mm f3.5 Micro-Nikkor, with a Nikon 4T close-up lens on the 55mm, a Sigma 1.6x achromatic close-up lens on the 4T. VERY low contrast was a problem with this chrome... possibly due to something happening (or that DIDN'T) in processing. A number of rolls processed back in the 1980's have shown a significant amount of density and color shifting, despite being stored in archival materials, in a temperature and humidity controlled environment.
