On Saturday I took a much-needed day to travel the muddy backroads of Douglas County. It was a day full of rain. I took a couple of dozen large format shots - all in the rain.
Sometimes it was on the slightly heavy side, other times it was a dizzle. But it was an all day affair.
I was soaked and muddy, which is a drastic change from the usual dry and dusty.
None of the roads were in bad shape. It's the spring, and even the minor roads have been recently graded. Apart from the paved roads where traffic was normal, on dirt I passed only two cars the entire day.
I was alone and it was silent and wonderful. I'm still developing the shots I took, but this week I'll share as much as I can.

While the family were over we got out and about a fair bit. This photo was taken from Onchan Head across the other side of the bay from the lighthouse. It was automated in 1986 and it is now possible to rent one of the Lightkeepers cottages. info about the lighthouse en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Head_Lighthouse
So there was snow in Douglas County. This isn't exactly a rare happening, but getting over the Cascades in winter is something I tend not to do. Therefore, this was my first time.
Generally, I don't like snow. It's cold and usually wet (or if it's not wet, it's incredibly cold). Roads are closed and driving in it is just not worth it. But on this day it was warmish and the roads were a little muddy, but not bad. Some were closed or impassible, but for the most part, everything was fine.

I have shot in Douglas County, Washington for a decade now, and I'm still exploring the place. This past weekend was another exploration. I shot several houses I've never seen before, and found this mass of wrecked cars in a little ravine.

Psalm 139:23 “O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested.”
James 3:11 “A spring does not pour out fresh water and bitter water from the same opening, does it?”
No journey through Douglas County is complete without seeing basalt boulders bigger than houses (well, smallish houses, but still, houses).
This small conglomeration of boulders was probably one large boulder at one time that had been broken apart by weather and entropy over the past 15,000 or so years.
When the glaciers receeded around tha time, they left a quite a mess. Strew over the varied ground of northenr Douglas County are mounds of rocks and debris plowed up as the glaciers descended from Candada.
On top of that (sometime literally), the floods that came through the area from 20,000 to 15,000 years ago added both tumbled boulders and ice-rafted boulders to the mix. It's often difficult to tell which are which (to my untrained eye, anyway).
Since these are basalt and much of the bedrock in this area is basalt, it's likely that they did not travel too far. Other usually smaller boulders were rafted for hundreds of miles (to locations far down stream).

'And Secrets'

For as many times as I've been to Douglas County, you'd think that there would hardly be a road that I missed. But this one was new to me, and fortunately still open as a public road.
It is seldom used, and I saw only one other set of tire tracks apart from my own.
I also wound up shooting a few sheets of Fomapan 200. I usually stick with 100, but figured I'd break out the speedy stuff for the gray day (heh).
Still, with an ND1000 filter (that's 10 stops) I wound up with a minute-long exposure. I think the meter indicated I should expose for 30 seconds, so I added a stop for the sake of reciprocity.
According to Foma's own reciprocity chart, I should have exposed it for around 7 minutes, but Foma seems to believe its emulsions have the worst reciprocity failure in the history of reciprocity failures.
I mean, that's literally adding nearly three stops. I could see how adding one stop (so, a two minute exposure) might have helped a little, but three stops would have blown the hell out of my highlights. And I was even using a Gradutated ND8 filter.
So that's one hell of a filter stack. Especially for a gray day.
- Deep Yellow Filter (1 stop)
- ND1000 Filter (10 stops)
- Graduated ND8 Filter (3 stops)
I love long exposures.

Douglas DC-3, build in 1944 and used in World War II.
Than it was sold to the Netherlands and used as governmental aircraft until 1961.
After spending some time in a museum it was completely overhauled and named "Prinses Amalia".
Nowadays is used for sightseeing flights. I had the pleasure to share one ...

I've been told that I talk about Eastern Washington too much. Maybe it's a contextual thing. Maybe it's just true.
I used to tell people that they need to see it. But they almost never do, and when they do, they don't really know what to do with it.
So generally, I don't unless it's some specific location. And even then, I feel bad. I know it's not something for everyone.
I do think that with a guide, it makes it a bit easier. It took me years to "get it". But now I think I do.
Or at least, I know what I like about it, even if I can't really put that into words.

“The government of Kuwait has again warned that citizens and expatriates who fail to register their fingerprint biometrics by December 31 will be unable to access all essential services.”
Another step closer to you can't buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast!
Romans 2:15 “They show that the essential requirements of the Law are written in their hearts; and their conscience [their sense of right and wrong, their moral choices] bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or perhaps defending them.”
We have 3 kinds of squirrels that visit our yard: Eastern Gray, Eastern Fox and this one, our native Douglas Squirrel. The Dougie is tiny and cute, but feisty. They will chase away the much larger squirrels away from the food.
I'm sort of surprised Ilford still makes Delta. It's a competetor against Kodak's Tmax, an emulsion loved by many. Delta, however, gets a bum rap.
But I wonder if anyone could really tell them apart in side-by-side, double blind testing. Sure, folks say they could, but could they?
Also of note: I can't.
