Grader

Here is yet another scan of one of the photos I took up at the Nordegg Historic site.  I'm not sure how long this old grader has been "resting" up there, but it probably dates back to around the time the mine closed, in 1955.

This is a negative from the batch of Fuji Neopan Acros 100 that I developed on February 1.  Those 20 sheets of 4x5 film were given N+1/2 development in Rodinal [Adox APH-09] 1:50 for 11:00 minutes at 24C.

I shot this on June 25th 2025 at around 3:00PM, during one of my many tours of the site.  I used my Ebony SV45Ti view camera and a Fujinon 180mm lens.  A #8 Yellow filter lightened the value of the yellow grader.  The filter increased contrast even further than the half stop that the extended development provided.  The exposure was for 1 second at F16.0.
