Here's an old one from my archives. I shot this on a Spring Break Trip that the girls and I took to Utah in April of 2014. I guess these ironstone nodules naturally collect at the edges of the sandstone polygons. A rather unique natural phenomenon. This shot was taken at a place called The White Pocket. It is miles out in the wilderness, over loose sand trails. We hired an outfitter to take us in as sometimes the sand can be a little treacherous. This is actually just over the Utah border in northern Arizona, within the boundaries of the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
I shot this with my Ebony 4x5 view camera and a Fujinon 125mm lens, fitted with a red filter. When I go on an extended trip like this one I typically limit myself to two types of film. For some reason I selected to shoot Kodak T-Max 400 and Ilford Delta 100. These are no longer favorites of mine, and I don't shoot them all that often. The images from that trip did not turn out quite as well as I had hoped, and a different film selection may have yielded better results. Perhaps the harsh spring light made things a little worse. This particular shot was on Kodak T-Max 400, exposed at 500 iso, and processed in T-Max developer.
