This is an 8" x 10" color transparency that I shot a number of years ago, and just developed. This is a sheet of Fujichrome Velvia 50, which had an expiry date of June 2007. I loaded it into a film holder in December of 2008, and it laid around in my darkroom until I shot it in 2021. A couple of weeks after I took the shot I unloaded the film holder and kept the exposed film stored in the fridge until I ran the big batch of E-6 chemistry on May 16th.
This is the long abandoned Notre Dame du Savoie church. It is in central Alberta near the Battle River Coal mine and power plant. That plant has now been switched over to gas, so the mine, which at one point got relatively close to this church, is no longer active. The steeple fell off a number of years prior to this photograph being taken. I understand that the building still stands... barely.
I shot this on May 5th of 2021 at about 5:00 in the afternoon. I used my Chamonix 810V view camera and a Nikkor 240mm lens, with no filter. I rated the film at 40iso and the exposure was for 1/8 second at F29.0.
