High Water

When Margarit and I were out in Nordegg earlier this fall, we took a drive up to Abraham Lake.  The reservoir is filled beyond capacity this year and is overflowing into the trees.  In recent years it seems this has been the norm.  I suppose they are attempting to reserve as much water as possible to slowly be released over the winter for power generation...?
This shot was taken at Preachers Point, and these poor aspen trees are usually on high ground.  I shot this with my 8x10 view camera on October 2nd 2025, shortly after 3:00 in the afternoon.
This is a sheet of Ilford HP5+400 rated at 320 iso.  Development was on my Jobo Processor in 510 Pyro Developer, 1:100, for 7:45 minutes at 24C.
I shot this with my Chamonix810V view camera and a Fujinon 450mm lens.  The exposures was for 1/2 second at F90.0.  I utilized that tiny aperture in order to hold depth of field from the foreground sapling. the the background trees.
