Beer Parlour Project - BP 15 Fife Lake Hotel

This scan is of a 4" x 5" negative taken on Ilford HP5.  This was part of the batch of film that was rated at 1600 iso and developed in 510 Pyro developer, 1:100, for 30:00 minutes at 24C.
I took this photograph on June 18th at about 6:30PM.  Chris and I were out in Saskatchewan, visiting small town hotels for the Beer Parlour Project.  This is Gail and Lawson Harkness, the long time owners of the Fife Lake Hotel, in Fife Lake, Saskatchewan.
I used my Ebony view camera and a Nikon 150mm lens for this shot.  The exposure was F11.0 and a shutter speed of 1/2 second.
Lawson and Gail were most gracious hosts and regaled us with stories from their half century of being in the hotel business.  The establishment was very cozy with all the typical tavern paraphernalia on the walls.  They also had a steak pit, where for a very reasonable price we grilled our own steaks, cut from locally raised beef, and they provided all the sides.  Chris and I really enjoyed our visit and came away with some great photos and history for our project, as well as some great memories.
