Image 5 - First Utah Trip - Cottonwoods

I continue with editing images for my Utah photo album.  This is image number five, from the first trip down to Utah.  This one, like the previous four, was from our first day trip when Rob and Brad and I explored Cottonwood Canyon Road, in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.  The road takes its name from Cottonwood Creek, which it follows for much of the way.  This is a shot of a grove of those magnificent trees, down along the creek.  At the time of our visit in the fall, the creek was dry.
I shot this image on Fuji Neopan Acros 100 rated at 64 iso.  I used my Ebony view camera and a wide 80mm lens.  A #25 Red Filter deepened the sky and made the leaves stand out a little more.  Development was in Rodinal 1:50 for 8:00 minutes.  This image was taken on October 14th 2013, at about 2:00 in the afternoon.  The exposure was for 1/2 second at F18.0.
