This is a negative from an outing a couple of years ago. It was taken during the first of two fall trips to the Drumheller area, by the Monochrome Guild. This trip was in 2024, and we returned to the same area a year later, in 2025.
This is a recently developed 4" x 5" sheet of Kodak Tri-X Pan 320. The film was rated at 320 iso and developed in PMK, on my Jobo Processor. Development was normal... so for normal contrast range... for 9:35 minutes at 20C. Processing was on May 17th of this year.
I shot this image on October 16th of 2024 at about 12:15 in the afternoon. I used my Ebony view camera and a 125mm lens, with no filter. The exposure was for 1/4 second at F20.0.
This old manure spreader is in the ghost town of Dorothy, a popular stop for photographers. At the time of this photo, the old grain elevator had not yet been restored. The roof was ripped off during a violent wind storm some years ago. After this photo was taken, the elevator had a new roof installed, and it was repainted. I'm really impressed with the locals in this area as not only have they looked after this, but they have also restored both of the old churches in town, and maintain the community hall.
