Outcrop

This is a scan of another Agfapan 25 negative.  I cropped this one to panoramic proportions...  Partly because I like the composition that way, but also because I was careless with my wide lens, and the bed of the camera was visible at the bottom edge of the frame.

I'm still amazed that this ancient film stock yields decent results.  Unlike the previous shot of the rail car, this one showed no evidence of any emulsion issues, despite being over 35 years past its expiry date.

I rated the film at 32 iso and developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 13:00 minutes at 22c.  This was part of a batch of 20 sheets that I ran in the Adox APH-09 version of Rodinal, on February 2nd.

This limber pine is out near Whirlpool Point in the Kootenay Plains.  I was exploring there last summer, with my friend Mike, who was visiting from Prince George.  My daughter Ryan and her boyfriend Braeden were also out with us for the day.

I shot this on August 30th 2025, at about 2:00 in the afternoon.  I used my Ebony SV45Ti view camera and an ultra wide Nikkor 65mm lens.  A #8 Yellow filter pumped up contrast a bit.  The exposure was for 1/2 second at F18.0.
