1891 Rochester Optical Company Universal - Ilex Paragon 260mm - f/45 - Fomapan 100 - 4x5 Film - HC 110 1+100 - Unaltered Negative Scan
I could walk these washes for days, and on the Zion fall color trip, that's exactly what I did – 6 days in fact. This photograph was made as the last light was fading on the very end of my very last day in the park. I ran into Ben Horne and Michael Strickland here, and the three of us all had our cameras set up on the same spot. I have no doubt their images will be far better than mine, both because they are both more skilled large & medium format film photographers than I, and because I had both the wrong lens and the wrong film for this image. It was the end of the trip, and the only color film I had left was a single sheet of Ektar 100, which is ideal for bright wide dynamic range scenes, but fairly terrible for dark scenes with low dynamic range. I was using the only 4x5" lens I had at the time, a 90mm Super-Angulon. These trees are located up on a steep bank above a wash, and you can't get close enough to them to fill the frame with a wide-angle lens (90mm is very wide on 4x5"). So the image you see here is actually a very tight crop from a 4x5 negative, and I had to do a fair bit of color and exposure correction on the scan to get it to look decent, and I still think I only did a so-so job of it. I'm sharing it online because that is the best use for this image. I will not be doing any prints of this one due to the reasons above, but I thought it would be perfectly enjoyable on screens. I have since purchased a 180mm lens which will be far better at isolating scenes like this, and I bought a bunch of brand new film holders as well, bringing my total to 16 (32 sheets of loaded film).

Tree with curved branch (Hyons Wood). Toyo 45a with Rodenstock 150mm, 4 sec @ f45, Ilford Delta 100 in HC110G(1+119) for 24 min
Camera: Horseman L45
Lens: Fujinon W 135mm F/5.6
Film: Fujifilm Super RX-N @ 100 ISO
Developer: Rodinal 1+100
Scanner: Epson V850 Pro
Developed in Rodinal 1+100 for 7 minutes at 77F. The highlights are pretty hot so I would probably develop at 5:45 at the same temperature or 9 minutes at 68F. That being said, I am getting better results with this blue sensitive emulsion than the green sensitive Fujifilm HR-U. The base is clearer and it seems to have more dynamic range. Grain seems to be about the same. I'd say rate it at around 80-100 ISO. 50 seems a bit overexposed but passable albeit with a fair bit of blooming around the highlights.
For anyone curious, the typewriter is an Olympia SM-9 with a 10 CPI font.
5x4 film negative, scanned and converted with PS. I'm enjoying this hybrid approach although have to say I've also enjoyed being in the darkroom this weekend.
Zero Image 5x4, Fomapan 200.
5 second exposure
One of those scenes I have visited frequently but never felt the conditions were right for shooting. I wasn't actually planning to shoot this on the day, I was a couple of miles away scouting something else and had a light bulb moment. Shot just before sunset with an orange filter.

It's not the best composition, but I somehow like the tension here, illustrating my understanding and fondness of the couple.
