Knowing when to call it
With the camera and other equipment again on my back, I pushed onward and upward, trying to find one last composition before I called it quits. And luckily I was able to find one, on a small meadow overlooking the valley. I tried something a little different here and instead of framing the Matterhorn centrally, I used the side of a close-by mountain to add a bit of foreground.
With the photos made, there was nothing else to do but enjoy the sunset and then race back to Zermatt to get to the supermarket before it closed...
Committed to Kodak Tmax 400 using a 4x5" Wista field camera and 150 mm lens. Developed using Ars-Imago FD 1:39, dev. time as per the massive dev chart, and scanned with an Epson V850 using Silverfast. Positive conversion and contrast done with Negative Lab Pro. Dust cleaning and final contrast in Photoshop.
