Aspen Trunks

Just before I took off to Nordegg in mid-December I processed a mixed batch of film in Kodak HC-110 Developer.  This was all 4" x 5" sheet film and included some Ilford FP4 and some Kodak Tri-X Pan.  This particular images was taken out my bedroom window in Nordegg.  I liked the way the low winter light was falling on the aspen trunks.  I tried to let the background go soft and fall out of focus.  This was shot on Ilford FP4 in mid-November with my Ebony SV45TE view camera and a Fujinon-T 400mm lens.  I used a #25 Red Filter to pump up the contrast a little.  Contrast was further increased by giving plus development in the HC-110.  I used dilution B and developed for 14:30 minutes.
