Ford Cove Rocks

A short time ago I processed a batch of Kodak T-Max 100 4" x 5" sheet film.  Like the previous batch of HP5, this one was also developed in 510 Pyro 1:100.  Development time for the T-Max film was 7:45 minutes at 24C.
This batch of film included a number of photographs taken in late 2023, as well as a handful from the fall trip out to Vancouver Island with my friends Chris and Arturo.
This particular shot is of the eroded sandstone on the shore of Hornby Island, at a place called Ford Cove.  The white structure that is visible on the far shore is the ferry terminal on Denman Island.  
In order to get to Hornby Island you need to take one of the big ferries from the mainland, across to Vancouver Island.  Then you need to drive to a place called Buckley Bay.  From there you can take a small ferry across Baynes Sound to Denman Island.  Then you have to drive across Denman Island to the ferry terminal that is visible in the background of this photo.  From there you take yet another ferry across to Hornby Island.  It is a spectacular place to visit, and well worth the effort.  But to live there full time and have your life governed by all those ferry schedules would be a little much, at least for me.
This photograph was taken on October 22nd 2023 at around 10:45 in the morning.  It was a cool and rather blustery day as I recall.  I used my Ebony view camera and a 200mm lens.  A #25 Red Filter increased contrast and created a little separation in the sky.
