End of the Rows

Back in October my friend Rob and I spent a few days shooting down in the badlands of southern Alberta.  Our original plan had been to travel further south, near the Saskatchewan border, but the weather just didn't cooperate.  For the first part of our outing it was far too muddy to attempt hiking in the badlands.  We drove out onto the surrounding prairie, looking for some motivation in the very flat, overcast light.  We eventually came upon this cornfield and attempted some texture and tonal studies of the dried stalks and leaves.  This particular shot was taken with my Ebony 4" x 5" view camera and a Schneider G-Claron 210mm lens.  The film was Kodak Tri-X Pan, given plus development for added contrast, in PMK staining Pyro developer.
