I saw the newly-cut wheat and how the sun cast shadow-lines along the rows. I figured that I could capture it with the Hasselblad (borrowed) better than most of the other cameras I was lugging around. I wasn't wrong.
I like it well enough, but I don't think the camera is for me. I wish I would have shot a bit lower (my fault, not the camera's, obviously), and I wish I would have been able to move to my left a little (also my fault). Maybe a red filter. And maybe developed in Rodinal. It looks too clean (camera's fault).

'Generator of Ghosts'
Camera: Hasselblad 500 EL
Lens: Carl Zeiss Planar 2.8/80mm
Film: Ilford Pan F+
Process: HC-110B; 5min

This shot of Mt Adams in Washington State was taken with my Mamiya 645 PRO using a Mamiya-Sekor 500mm f/5.6 manual lens shooting Kodak ektar 100 then desaturated in LR. No cropping or sharpening. In fact, I used the clarity tool to slightly soften some of the snowy parts of the image. The distance from my tripod to the black cliff was 12.6 miles.
While waiting for a sunset shot of Mt St Helens to materialize, Mount Adams was over towards the East saying, "hey, what about me?" So I snagged a little alpenglow in-between the clouds.
Thanks for looking!

Dukedog and Adams - sounds like a TV series . . . the ‘Dukedog’ 3217 leading the Adams tank as they steam sedately along the Bluebell Railway way back in June, 1965.
I think this was the day of the renaming ceremony when 3217 was fitted with the nameplates ‘Earl Of Berkeley’. It provided a pleasant interlude between chasing outward and homeward sections of the LCGB ‘Wealdsman’ tour on the same day.

It is still a couple of weeks too early for wildflowers, so here is some balsalm root from last year.

The pillars seem precarious, and (geologicaly speaking) I guess they are. But you can walk on and around them without the fear of them toppling upon you.
They look small here. There's no scale.

James Adams. Laid to rest here 1765, aged 78.
“Integrity, Generosity and Honour.”
I’ll see what else I can find out. Local history has it that Mr. Adams served King George II.
Edit: as commented below a local history site states that Mr Adams served King George II as clerk of his stables, and lived in a grand house here in Stanford-le-Hope.

Another shot from my afternoon up in Adams Canyon, this time a little closer to the refreshing waterfall.
If Kodak truly loved you, they'd give you Vericolor IV: The Revenge.
This time it's personal.

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety - Ansel Adams
CSX 7301 formerly 288 was rebuilt at Wabtec and was looking pretty sharp in fresh paint when I saw it on 1.2.25. Seen here at MP 211 on the Henderson Sub approaching Adams, TN
I figured I'd add a few to Flickr from this great little underrated tourist operation (one of only two presently opereting in the state). It is well run and worth a visit if you ever get the chance.
This lone RDC-1 number 6126 (built in 1955 for the Boston Maine) is operating the Berkshire Scenic Railroad Museum's Hoosac Valley Train Ride. The lone Budd is an authentic representation of what the last days of passenger service would have looked like here. Opened as the aptly named Pittsfield and North Adams Railroad (a wholly owned Western Railroad subsidiary) in 1846, as late as 1951 the New York Central offered two round trips on this Boston and Albany (the Western's 1870 successor) branch line that reached 18 1/2 miles north from a connection with the mainline in Pittsfield. The little NYC 'Beeliners' (as Budd RDCs were referred to on that road) made their last revenue runs in March 1953 though occasional excursions rode these rails in later years. The branch passed from NYC to PC and then CR until the later sold it to the B&M in 1981. It held on another 11 years until all but the northern five miles down to Adams were ripped up by Guilford in 1994, with another mile cropped back a year or so later. Guilford and Pan Am continued to provide freight service to two moderate sized customers near Zylonite station, about 4 miles south of North Adams.
MassDOT purchased the line in 2015 with Pan Am retaining the freight rights and BSRM running passenger excursions on weekends when freight trains are not running. MassDOT even reconstructed one mile of previously removed track into downtown Adams just shy of the still extant B&A passenger depot. The tracks share the corridor with the north end of the popular Ashwillticook Rail trail that now occupies the abandoned right of way down towards Pittsfield through Lanesboro and Cheshire in a nice example of 'trails with rails' as can be seen on the other side of the fence to the right
The 1 PM southbound run arrives back in Adams on the portion of the line that was reconstructed by MassDOT for this service. Note the Ashwilliticook Rail Trail sharing the corridor. They are passing the historic wooden Hoosac Valley Coal & Grain company building slated for preservation.

Here's a quick one from the classic view at the Adams and Wabash El Stop last night. This photograph was made right around blue hour to really bring out the orange glow of the city lights.
Would love to hear what you think of the photograph.

A 4:30am start to travel up to the Horton Plains we were able to get a glimpse of Adams Peak in the distance as the son rose. Some fantastic light however I was only able the time to take a hand held shot.
Being the second U.S. President's home town, John Adams is a big deal in Quincy, MA. This mural of Adams was painted on one side of the former F.W. Woolworth building in Quincy Center. The mural, one of two, was done to draw attention to a pop-up art gallery set up inside. Alas, none of this will be around for long as the building is scheduled for demolition in the near future.
