6x6 Yamshiro-onsen 3, Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
Hasselblad 500C with Planar 80/2.8 lens. Fuji Acros developed for 11min. in 1/25 Rodinal at 20C in a Jobo 2520 tank. Printed with an LPL 7453 enlarger + EL-nikkor 135mm/5.6 lens. Paper is MCC110 5x7 processed in Adotol WT. Base exposure was Grade3 11.7sec@f11 after setting the reflection on the back window of the car as the highlight, the asphalt under the car as shadows and the tiled wall behind the truck as midtone.. The sky and the building wall on the upper left were burned in for 2 additional exposures. All were determined using the Zonemaster II and this print was obtained without any test prints on the first try. Grade 2 contrast may have given a better distribution of tones but the strong contrast used is probably more appropriate for the subject. Anyway I only made one print in a minimal amount of time.
The view is an alley leading up a hill to the backside of an old hotel that seems to have been built by adding one addition after another. There is a n illusion of astigmatism or camera shake but the image is actually in focus,
