Sunflower Field

I took this shot last fall on my way out to Ferintosh.  I was making a return visit to the Ferintosh Hotel.  During my previous visit, for Beer Parlour Project outing number BP36.0, I had left behind one of my film holders.  On this day I took a drive out, had a nice visit with hotel owner Darlene, and then stopped on my way back home to photograph this field of sunflowers near Gwynne.
This is a sheet of Kodak T-Max 100 4" x 5" film, rated at 80iso.  I developed this on December 19th in 510 Pyro, diluted 1:100, for 8:00 minutes at 24C.
I took the photograph on September 14th 2025, shortly after 2:00 in the afternoon.  I used my Ebony SV45TE view camera and a long 400mm lens.  A #8 Yellow filter lightened the value of the leaves a little, and deepened the small shadow areas.  The exposure was for 1/8 second at F25.0.
