I took this photograph a year ago, when I was out on a day trip with my brother in law Shawn. Shawn is currently recovering in hospital from heart surgery. He has severe heart disease and just had an artificial heart, an LVAD, surgically implanted. So far he is doing well, but he has a long road to recovery, and will not be returning home for a while yet. It will be a significant lifestyle change for him, but it beats the alternative.
This is a 4" x 5" sheet of Kodak Tri-X Pan 320 film, rated at 320 iso. I took this photograph on May 25th 2025, at about 2:00 in the afternoon. I used my Ebony SV45TU view camera, one of three Ebony cameras that I use, with a Schneider 110mm lens. This is a somewhat wide angle lens, similar to a 35mm lens on a full frame digital camera, or with 35mm film.
I developed the film normally in PMK developer. This is a staining pyro developer that imparts a proportional stain in the film, increasing density and contrast. Development was on my Jobo Processor, in an Expert Drum, for 9:35 minutes at 20C.
No filter was used on camera, and the exposure was for 1/60 second at F16.0.
