This is another test shot. I thought the scene was very contrasty so I attempted Minus development with Kodak Tri-X Pan 320 in D23 two bath developer.
I found this old ladder laying in the trees at the Nordegg Historic Site, during one of my many private tours. I metered the scene with my spot meter. The low values in the shadows were 7 stops below the brightest highlights. I exposed for the mid tone values of the ladder and some of the leaf litter, and then held down the high values in development.
This is a 4" x 5" negative shot on Kodak Tri-X Pan 320 rated at 250 iso. Development was N-1... so a one stop contraction. This was for 6:00 minutes in D-23 stock followed by 4:00 minutes in Borax, at 24C.
I shot this image on July 29th 2025, at about 2:30 in the afternoon. I used my Ebony SV45Ti view camera and a wide 90mm lens. The exposure was for 1/8 second at F25.0.
