I just processed a batch of Ilford HP5+ 4" x 5" sheet film in 510 Pyro Developer. All 20 sheets in this batch were from the last couple of months of 2022. This shot was taken on the Fall Photo Weekend in October, when the gang from the Monochrome Guild headed out to Jasper National Park.
What looks like heavy clouds in the background is actually smoke, from a large forest fire that had been burning for some time, north of the townsite. In fact at one point earlier in the season the town was without power, and the park was essentially closed.
I shot this with my Ebony 4x5 view camera and a 125mm lens. A #22 Orange filter helped to lighten the foreground fallen leaves, and offered a little penetration through the background smoke.
