While we were in Saskatchewan back in June, Chris and I managed to line up a couple of outings for the Beer Parlour Project. The third of those, was arranged somewhat at the last minute. We more or less just dropped in on the Fife Lake Hotel. This was a 200km drive from our base and a last ditch effort to squeeze in one more event for our project.
The owners, Lawson and Gail, live next door to the hotel, and have been operating it for about 50 years. They have certainly seen a lot of change over those five decades. The hotel is one of the few remaining operating steak pits that we have come across. You buy a steak, and cook it yourself on the grill, then they round it out with a baked potato and coleslaw. Chris and I indulged, and it was really good.
This group of locals came down to do the same thing. We managed to convince them to get these group portraits taken. This is Clay, Lu, Luree and Mark.
I shot these two images on Kodak T-Max 400, pushed to 1600iso. Development was in T-Max Developer, 1:4, for 8:20 minutes at 24C. I shot both of these group portraits with my Ebony view camera and a Nikkor 150mm lens. They were taken on June 18th at about 8:00 in the evening. The exposure for both was F10.0 and a shutter speed of 1/2 second. The group did pretty well to hold still for the long exposure.
