Over the last couple of months I have been processing numerous batches of Kodak Tri-X Pan film in PMK Developer. This is a Pyro based developer that imparts a proportional stain on the emulsion. It is exceptional at retaining highlight detail and I really like the tonal range that results. It has become on of my favourite developers. Back in last August, just before the Labor Day long weekend, I processed a mixed batch of film in this developer. This included the last few of my Tri-X negatives, as well as a number of sheets of Ilford Delta 100. With all that happened in the last few weeks I have just now found time to scan this latest batch.
These first few shots are from a Spring Photo Weekend in 2012 with the Monochrome Guild. We spent a couple of days in May photographing in Kananaskis Country and in Banff National Park. These first three were taken on Kodak Tri-X Pan 4x5.

This next one was taken way back in the spring of 2009 on Ilford Delta 100 4x5. This slope with Saskatoons was along one of the ravines in the Paintearth Badlands.
Here are two shots that I took this past summer when we were travelling down in the badlands with our relatives visiting from Germany. Both were taken in Dorothy, and both were captured on Kodak Tri-X Pan 4x5.
Here is a mixed selection of stuff taken over a number of years, during various travels and trips around Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Will anyone believe that this is actually valley fog, or a sunbeam?
In fact it is a light leak from a damaged 4x5 film holder.

Winter Rills, southern Alberta Badlands, Ilford Delta 100, 2013
This last one was shot on one of my last packets of Polaroid 55 film.
I captured this image a few weeks ago out at Elk Island National Park.
It was obviously not processed in Pyro, but was just washed and dried together with the rest of this batch.
