Image 9 - First Utah Trip - Candyland

This is another shot, for the upcoming album, and from the first trip down to Utah.  This is still from the first day trip of exploring with my friends Brad and Rob, on the Cottonwood Canyon Road.  By this point it is getting later in the day, and we are near the northern end of the road, in an area called Candyland.  This is still part of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
This photograph was taken on a sheet of Fuji Neopan Acros 100 rated at 64 iso and given normal development in Rodinal 1:50.  Development was for 8:00 minutes at 24C.  I shot this on October 14th 2013 at about 5:20 in the afternoon.  I used my Ebony view camera and a wide 80mm lens.  The late day low light was already quite contrasty and there was a significant difference in subject brightness between the upper highlights and the foreground shadows.  As a result a filter was not necessary.  The exposure was for 1/4 second at F25.0.
