From Crown Point # 3
The last of last week's pictures from Crown Point in the Columbia Gorge. 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. This is not the final print, however. It's the first proof. More work will be done later to make it sing. I scanned it in and presented it here uncorrected.
Camera: Deardorff 8x10.
Lens: 760mm SK Grimes with red # 25 filter.
Film: Ilford FP4+ developed in Kodak HC110 semi-stand at 22:15 minutes.
Printed on Arista Grade 4 RC developed in Kodak Dektol 1:2.
