With the birds I share this lonely view
Properly exhausted from the previous day's hike, I opted to take it a little easier on my final day in Zermatt. This meant riding the Gornergrat railway (Gornergratbahn) up to the final station and hoping for some better weather than had been forecast.
On the way up I wondered how busy it would be at the lookout and whether I would be able find a good place to set up my camera. These thoughts turned out to be completely unnecessary - I was one of about five people to exit the train at the Gornergrat station and there were exactly zero others already up at the lookout. Even my fellow train passengers soon left, leaving me to share the views with the birds.
Committed to expired Ilford HP5+ using a Hasselblad XPan and 45 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.
