Ajimaya Temple

Old temple in the mountains near Tosu City, on a very hot and humid summer day.
Location
Tosu City, Saga, Japan
Equipment Used
Cambo 4x5 90mm XL
Exposure
f/16 @ 1
Film & Developer
Kodak HIE 4x5 Xtol 1+1
Lens Filter
Wratten #25
This is really beautiful, as usual. I'm very jealous that you've been able to shoot with HIE in a larger format.
 
'Not being familiar w/ HIE, I didn't know it was IR, but the foliage sure made it look like it was. Really lovely - again. Your shots are a treat, Andrew.
 
Thank you for looking and commenting! Mooseontheloose, this emulsion is lovely in 4x5. I've made 16x20 prints with no grain. I wish they made it in 8x10! The beauty of this film was that you could get wood effect even with a Wratten #12 yellow filter. Usually I shot it with the #25 attached. EI 100. I've still got two boxes in the freezer, expired in '67! I tested a couple of sheets and although there was heavy fogging, I could still print a decent image. The weird thing about this film and one that I'm not used to, is its thick emulsion. Man this stuff is heavy and floppy in the hand when wet!

That's interesting. I have a memory of the 35 mm HIE being very thin.
