Which House

One more from the recent batch of color negatives that I developed on March 22nd.  This is a scan of a 4" x 5" sheet of Kodak Ektar 100.  The film reached it's best before date in August of 2013.  I loaded it into a film holder in October of 2023, exposed it in 2024, and developed it in 2026.  Despite this, it turned out alright.

I really like this composition and I have printed the Black and White version of it in the darkroom.  I am considering the print for exhibition in the Apparitions project.  I have a lot of prints to select from and have to somehow narrow things down to the final 16.  The issue is that in addition to the 30 plus prints that I already have done, I keep taking new ones that should be considered.

This old house sits all alone down in southern Saskatchewan.  It is well known among photographers as the Witch House.  I like to refer to it as Which House.  There have been a number of Halloween shots taken here over the years, and it is often used a foreground for astrophotography.  My approach is more straightforward and traditional.

I shot this on June 16th of 2024 at about 6:00 in the evening.  I used my Ebony SV45TU view camera and a 135mm lens.  A Blue/Orange color polarizing filter increased saturation.  The exposure was for 1/30 second at F16.0.
