This is the last 8x10 scan that I will be posting for the next little while. I have to develop and scan some additional images before I can post anything else. This one was taken on the recent fall trip by the Monochrome Guild. I shot this at the end of our morning drive on October 22nd, when Helena, Gord and I went out exploring.
A local resident has erected this shrine on the banks of the Red Deer River, near East Coulee. It changes all the time as he seems to be constantly adding stuff and moving things around. I spoke to him at one point a couple of years ago and he said it was a memorial to his parents, who passed on some time before. Many social media posts refer to this as a native burial ground. Nothing could be further from the truth as this is actually ground zero of a couple of old coal mines.
This is a scan of a sheet of Ilford HP5+ 400 8x10 film, rated at 320 iso and developed in 510 Pyro. I shot this on October 22nd 2025, at about 11:45AM. I used my Chamonix810V view camera and a Nikkor 240mm lens. The exposure was for 1/30 second at F41.0.
