Just after we returned home from Crowsnest Pass on September 18th, I processed a batch of sheet film. This was a batch of Kodak T-Max 400, developed in T-Max Developer. I have been experimenting with pushing this film to 1600 iso, a full two stops faster than the rated box speed of 400 iso. This has been really helpful for all the low light shooting required for the Beer Parlour Project. Those old style taverns are never well lighted and are very dark and gloomy at times. Development was in T-Max Developer, diluted 1:4, for 7:50 minutes, at 24C.
For the most part the shots are turning out fairly well. I am having the most success when I ask someone to pose for me, and remind them that the film is slow and they need to hold really still. This still yields really limited depth of field, and some of the shots get spoiled by motion. But things are gradually improving.
I got a couple of great images on the recent stops on the Beer Parlour Project tour in Crowsnest Pass and will be posting those in the coming days. Also included in that batch were a few sheets from previous stops on the tour. The two images included here were both taken at the Tofield Hotel, also known as BP5.0. This was back in early August of this past summer.
