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.
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
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.
Lower Falls in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Camera: Graflex Crown Graphic Pacemaker (1955). Film: New 55 Atomic-X. Process: Kodak D-76 (1+1) 11:00 @ 20c.⠀
From Sunday's Live Draw event. Was doing instant oilgraph portraits and these were the negs that came from them. I mounted and painted the polaroids and either sold them outright or put them out for auction.
Most of these were portraits of the patrons at the event.
Haven't shot 4x5 in years. It's like shooting with a cow, but I began to get my stride soon. I wasn't going to add any of these actually since it's not my usual thing and a bit more static that I am used to, but I figured why not.
One light in medium soft box. Shot on Polaroid Type 55 positive/negative 4x5 film.

Another early AM shooting session, experimenting with Arista Ultra 100 shot at box speed. Fairly wide light capture here with somewhat harsh shadows and cloudless sky. This combination doesn't quite pull out the details in the shadows as much as I'd like, despite some very favorable comments about this film with D76. Will likely go back to Xtol in the next round.
Another shot taken on Cayman's Mastic Trail, the largest contiguous area of untouched, old-growth forest in Grand Cayman - an area where the woodland has been evolving undisturbed for the last two million years. It houses all manner of wildlife - exotic native birds, hermit crabs, frogs, snakes and one or two mosquitoes. This day, there were parts of the trail were littered with fallen fruit from wild mango trees.
