Gog Magog

Here is another of the negatives that I exposed during our trip to Mt. Assiniboine and recently processed.  This one was taken on the afternoon of our arrival at the lodge, on Wednesday September 14th.  Shortly after checking in to our Terrapin Cabin, Margarit and I went for a walk down to Magog Lake.  This lake is at the foot of majestic Mt. Assiniboine, though the peak is not visible in this image.  The lake is immediately below the Lodge complex.  This shot is of Gog Creek, as it fans out and spills the last couple hundred feet down into the lake.  That is Sunburst Peak visible in the background.  I shot this, the first image of the trip, on Kodak T-Max 100, rated at 80 iso.  It was taken on Spetmber 14th at about 2:50 in the afternoon.  I used my Scheneider Super Symmar XL 80mm lens and a #25 Red Filter for added contrast, on my Ebony SV45TE view camera.  The lowest values, the shadows of the foreground boulders, were metered at an exposure value of EV11.  I placed these in Zone III so that they retained a little detail.  The other foreground elements, grass, gravel, boulders and stream were metered between about EV 12-2/3 to EV 14-1/3.  Background Magog Lake was a little lower in value at about EV 13, while Sunburst Peak varied between EV 12 to 13.  The sky and clouds were considerably higher in value at around EV 15 to 16.  Exposure placed EV 13 at Zone V, or middle grey and was at F20.0 for 1/2 second.  The rear standard was tilted back a little to increase depth of field.  The film was processed shortly after our return, in 510 Pyro diluted 1:100 for 7:45 minutes at 24C.  I quite like this image and have reduced the overall values a little in this scan.  This one might be worth spending a little time on in attempting a fine print.
