Vancouver House

My previous post of the door handles was taken up at the Nordegg Historic site.  They were on the door of one of the old cars left behind on the site.  This shot is also from the mine site, though not from the same visit.  There are two houses like this, and they are referred to as the Vancouver Houses.  They were kit houses shipped in pre-fabricated, from a supplier in Vancouver.  This is similar to my previous post called Earlsfield, which was a kit house supplied by Eatons.  The two Vancouver Houses on the mine site were residences for senior staff at the mine back in the coal mining days.  These likely date from the latter days of the mining operations.  The mine closed for good in 1955.  I took a very similar shot previously, but had some difficulty printing it.  In that shot the house was backlit and the sky was kind of blown out.  This time around I shot later in the day, hoping for a better negative to print.  I haven't attempted a print yet, but one of these days I will get around to it.  

This is a sheet of Kodak T-Max 100 rated at 80iso and developed in 510 Pyro, 1:100, for 8:00 minutes at 24C.  I ran this batch before Christmas, and December 22nd.

I shot this photograph on June 25th 2025 at about 2:30 in the afternooon.  I used my Ebony SV45Ti view camera and a wide 90mm lens.  I didn't bother to use a filter as most of the subject was not in direct sun.  The exposure was for 1/15 second at F18.0.
