From Crown Point # 3 (Neg Scan)
©2011 Gary L. Quay
I decided to work on a picture I posted about 9 years ago, back when I had a functioning darkroom. I usually replace the originals on Flickr, rather than posting new versions, but the original was a scan of the print, and this is of the negative, and I wanted to leave both up for posterity.
This was taken with my 760mm SK Grimes lens fitted with a red # 25 filter on 8x10 Ilford FP4+.
Since I had two negs to process, I tried two different methods to get the sky to print easily next to the shaded foreground. The first method was to try divided D23: 4 minutes in the developer and 3 minutes in the alkalie bath. The negative came out splotchy, and completely unusable. Since one was ruined, I had to try something more fool-proof. I used Kodak HC110 and semi-stand development. This seems to largely have done the trick. The sky requires a little burning in, but not much.
Camera: Deardorff 8x10.
Lens: 760mm SK Grimes with red # 25 filter.
Film: Ilford FP4+ developed in Kodak HC110 semi-stand at 22:15 minutes.
