First Light

Unforgettable sunrise at one of the higher parts of Yellowstone. During the winter, is only reachable by snow rigged vehicles (which we hired for a day with a guide).

Bison

Two shots… one a close up of a Bison, the other the trail left by a small herd. These trails, caused by the animals as they move through the snow, decorate the entire Yellowstone landscape.

Back from Yellowstone

Got back from a 4 night trip to Yellowstone… was beautiful. My first time there and only my first (maybe second) trip purely dedicate to photography. Yellowstone was great… temperature ranged from 20f in the mornings to 45f by noon. Pretty cold but warmer than I expected and surprisingly, beautiful blue skies. Despite that, parts of the park were blanketed in several feet of snow. I shot film (all MF 6×7) exclusively. I’m neither a landscape nor a wildlife photographer, but enjoyed it immensely and tried to bring my own …

Tri-X test roll

A few test shots from my first roll of tri-x 400… developed in DD-X for 8 mins with ilford fixer. 100% scans show very fine grain for a 400 film. Sharpness doesn’t compare to say Fuji Acros (100) but when I got it right, it looked v good. I read that the DDX development is a similar effect to xtol (fine grain effect). I printed the last shot at 19″x13″ tonight (via scanning) and was blown away. I’m constantly amazed at the resolving power of medium format. Makes going back …

I think the net is that Neopan 100 Acros in 120 will only be available in packs of 5 and Neopan 400 is effectively discontinued. can’t seem to get a straight answer on whether it’ll be continued in other countries somehow. anyway, unpleasant news as this is my favourite BW.
I posted this originally over in lost in focus, looking for suggestions as I was about to …

Untitled

This weekend I drove a 9 hour round trip to find a waterfall I’d read about. We got there a little later than I expected and by the time we hiked over to see it, I realised we were on the wrong side of a ravine and the waterfall was impossible to get to. I’m sure there’s a way down there, and I will go back – but ended up with no real photos.
Instead, I took this on Sunday – 5 mins from my house.
