Backside

This one is from the second batch of C-41 Color Negative film that I developed on March 23rd.  I used one of the Jobo press kits that I bought several years ago.  It is a dry chemistry kit that is mixed up immediately before use.

This was a batch of 4"x 5" sheet film that I ran, along with some other stuff, including... some sheets of 8"x10" and some rolls of 35mm.  With this second batch now done, I will probably wait a year or so to accumulate more color negatives.  Once I get enough exposed film saved up, I will mix up another batch of the chemistry.

This particular shot was taken on a sheet of Kodak Ektar 100.  This was a relatively fresh batch of film, unlike much of the other stuff I have recently been using.  This batch had an expiry date of July 2024.  I loaded the film into a film holder in April of 2024, and exposed it a year later.

Margarit and I were down in Stettler Alberta in the spring of last year.  We were visiting and staying at the old Stettler Hotel.  Chris was there with us and we were exploring for another episode of the Beer Parlor Project... Number BP23.0.

This was the backside of the hotel, facing the alley, taken the morning after our visit.  I took this photograph on April 26th 2025, at about 12:30 in the afternoon.  I shot this with my Ebony SV45TE view camera and a Nikkor 210mm lens.  This is an slightly long focal length for this format, and what one might refer to as a portrait lens.  The exposure was for 1/30 second at F29.0.
