This is a scan of a recently processed 4" x 5" sheet of Ilford HP5+. Just before Christmas, while nursing my sprained ankle, I retreated to the dark room and processed a batch of film. In hindsight it wasn't such a great idea as it forced me to stand on me feet for about 90 minutes, making my ankle quite sore. In any event, I never claimed to be all that smart.
I shot this one way back on February 2nd of 2024, at about 8:40 in the evening. Chris and Connie and I were visiting the Chipman Hotel for episode 10.0 of the Beer Parlour Project. It had been a rather mild day, and a fair bit of snow melted. By evening heavy fog rolled in and yielded this eerie mood. I shot this with a really wide 75mm lens on my Ebony view camera. It was difficult to focus in the dark but I made the best of it. The short focal length helped and I stopped the lens down to F14 and hoped for the best. The exposure was 16 seconds.
The town of Chipman should really give some thought to their dink-shaped Christmas decorations...!
