This is a shot that I took in the fall of 2025 when the Monochrome Guild was out on our annual fall outing. That was the trip that my daughter Helena came along on. Her decision to join the group was somewhat surprising as she was 17 at the time, and the four of us old guys from the Guild that were on the trip, were all in our 60's. But she had a great time, and we all enjoyed her company.
I took this photograph on October 21st 2025 at about 2:30 in the afternoon. I used my Chamonix810V view camera and a wide Nikkor W 240mm lens. A #25 Red Filter lowered the value of the sky, and the shadows, and bumped up the contrast a bit. This was taken in Dinosaur Provincial Park in southern Alberta, on a beautiful fall day.
This is an 8"x10" sheet of Kodak Tri-X Pan 320 film. When I had my Jobo processor set up in my darkroom recently, a ran a few batches of this film in PMK developer. Mostly this was some 4x5 stuff, but I did include one batch of 8x10, that included this image. I gave normal development, as the scene was already rather contrasty. This was 9:35 minutes at 20C.
