My last post of 2025. Onward to the new year. May 2026 be better than the year we just finished...!! This is one of my recently developed sheets of Kodak T-Max 100 4" x 5". The film was rated at 80iso and developed in 510 Pyro, 1:100, for 8:00 minutes at 24C. I ran this batch on December 15th.
I shot this back in November when Margarit and I went for a walk down to the little waterfall on Shunda Creek. The air temperature was below freezing, and there was no sun. The water was still open and flowing, with only a few little bits of ice starting to form at the edges. The rapids on the upper right were generating a lot of bubbles but with the cold temperature, none were bursting and they accumulated in this pool below the rapids. They were doing this slow rhythmic dance with the current and I wanted to show this in my photo. I put a #25 Red filter on my camera to increase contrast and create some separation between the dark water and the white bubbles. It also served as a neutral density filter and allowed for this long exposure.
I shot this image on November 7th at about 1:15 in the afternoon. I used my Ebony SV45Ti view camera and a slightly wide 125mm lens, fitted with that #25 Red Filter.
The exposure was for 30 seconds at F20.0.
