Melting Sea and Swans - 雪解けと白鳥
The sea is melting fast. 10th of April the sea was still mostly covered by ice but everywhere was spots of open water and they were full of swans.
When I returned to the same place on 12th of April, the ice was gone, only a lot of small ice rafts were floating around.
I think that this is my first "Large format wildlife photograph"
I used Adox CHS 100 Art film, developed to N contrast in Pyrocat-HD. I had to choose N because of snow, but that then values of sky fell a bit too low so additional dodging is required. For the values of sky, either Orthopanchromatic film, blue filter or N+1 development would have been best choice.
