Manager's Shower

This is a scan of a 4"x5" color negative.  This was part of the first batch of C-41 chemistry that I ran on March 22nd.  This is a sheet of Kodak Portra 160VC, which had a best before date of January 2008.  I keep the film frozen all these years, but loaded it into a film holder in November of 2023.  It sat around until I exposed it in the fall of 2024.  Then I returned the exposed film to the fridge, and it stayed there until I recently developed it.

This is the Manager's shower at the Nordegg Historic Site.  Management staff had a separate shower from the main one used by all the miners.  The old concrete walls, and whatever coating has been applied to them, have a beautiful patina.  Usually I photograph here at the historic site with Black and White film, but I thought this one deserved a color shot.

I took this photograph on September 9th of 2024, at about 3:00 in the afternoon.  I used my Ebony SV45TE view camera and a wide 75mm lens.  The exposure was for 16 seconds at F32.0.
