Lyle, Washington from Rowena Crest, Oregon
©2021 Gary L. Quay
Lyle, Washington is located in the eastern Columbia Gorge, directly across from Rowena Crest. The Columbia River is fairly wide there, and it takes one hell of a lens to do this. I used one hell of a camera too. It's an Eastman Kodak Commercial 8x10 view camera that is capable of a yard of bellows extension.
I have had some trouble with the film. I'm not sure why it was happening, but this film, and a pack of HP5 had some diffuse lines of higher density running through it. I have to clean them up in Photoshop. They are about 3/4" wide, and there is sometimes smaller lines. You can see them in the water at the bottom, and in the sky at the top. I cleaned them up as best as I could. I keep the film in the freezer until I am ready to load it, but I am wondering if something happened in the freezer. I am going to try some different film from the freezer soon, but what is concerning is that I have about 5 boxes of Efke film, which is no longer available, in the freezer. If all of the film that was in the freezer at about the same time period was ruined like this, that would really suck.
Camera: Eastman Kodak Commercial view camera
Lens: 760mm SK Grimes
Film: Ilford Ortho+ developed in Kodak HC-110
