This is a scan of a negative taken during the fall trip by the Monochrome Guild. This is similar to a previously posted shot and was taken at the old roundhouse in Big Valley. My daughter Helena was along on the trip, with four old guys. It was me, Arturo, Gord and Nigel, and Helena really enjoyed their company. She is 17 and was out of school at the time due to the teachers strike. A short time after we returned, the teachers were forced back to work and her grade 12 studies resumed. I helped her to set up the camera and focus it, and to meter the scene. But she chose this composition.
This is another of those ancient sheets of Agfapan 25 that expired nearly four decades ago. The film was rated at 32iso and developed in Rodinal 1:50, for 13:00 minutes, at 22C. I used the Adox version of Rodinal, APH-0, and ran the batch of 20 sheets on February 2nd. This one didn't show any mottling, like the other one from the same batch of the railway coach.
Helena took this photograph on October 20th 2025 at about 2:20 in the afternoon. She used my Ebony SV45TE view camera and a Rodenstock 90mm lens, with no filter. Sadly I neglected to record exposure details.
