Rowley

This is a scan of another of my recently processed sheets of 8x10 film.  This one is Ilford HP5+ 400 rated at 320 iso.  It was given Normal development in 510 Pyro, 1:100, for 7:45 minutes at 24C.  I ran this batch on my Jobo processor.

This is a shot from the recent fall trip with the Monochrome Guild, down to the badlands of southern Alberta.  On our way down to Drumheller we made a stop at the town of Rowley.  It's sort of a ghost town, though there are a number of permanent residents.  It was the location for the movie Bye Bye Blues, shot here in the 1980's.  Now, in recent times, it is a bit of a tourist attraction and they have a monthly pizza night as a fundraiser.

This photograph was taken on October 20th 2025 at about 3:45 in the afternoon.  I used my Chamonix810V view camera and a Fujinon 450mm lens.  A #25 Red Filter increased contrast a bit, and created some separation in the sky.  The exposure was for 1/15 second at F25.0.
