Here are a couple more images from the first Utah trip. I'm in the process of editing these, and putting together a photo album of the best images from the trips that I made over three years.
On the first day trip, of the first Utah visit, that I made with my friends Rob and Brad, we drove the Cottonwood Canyon Road in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. It was an all day affair. The southern end of the road was an hour's drive east of the town we were staying in. And then it took all day to drive the road. By the time we got back to our base in the evening, it was long after dark.
Along the road we came upon these formations. I'm not sure if they have any official name, but my friend Rob thought they looked like Clansmen, so that's what we called them.
The first shot was taken on Kodak Tri-X Pan 320. I rated the film at 400 iso and gave it increased development to boost contrast. I took this shot on October 14th of 2013 at about 4:30 in the afternoon. I used my Ebony view camera and a wide 80mm lens. A #25 Red Filter further increased contrast. Development was in PMK for 16:40 minutes at 20C. My Jobo processor was used to provide constant agitation during development.
The second shot is a tighter detail shot of the same scene. It was taken on Fuji Neopan Acros 100 rated at 64 iso. It's surprising how much different the tones appear, even though the two images were taken in the same place, about 15 minutes apart. This one was with my Ebony view camera and a longer 210mm lens. The same #25 Red filter was used to increase contrast, though development was Normal, in Rodinal 1:50 for 8:00 minutes.
