The print is all about the high gray values while still retaining some blacks with nice local contrast... in other words, it was difficult for me to scan.
I exposed this negative at John Power's gathering over the weekend. I was taken with a digital image my girlfriend made of the same area on a trip over late last summer and had it in my head. The conditions were right so I tried my own interpretation.
Excellent print! Do you plan to print it a bit larger? I'm just curious, not that it is necessary for the image, it looks great even in this small size.

Long story. Basically I was looking for something to use on my Rolleiflex TLR negatives that would give me decent, printable, results with mild N+, N-, and N negatives all on the same roll. I had all the ingredients so I tried it... and liked the results so much that I thought I'd try it with my sheet film, too... I'm down to my last unopened bottle of Rodinal so we will see where this takes me. I've been doing a TON of reading on D23 and all its variations. I really like the idea of having so many options from such a simple brew.
Finding abstractions in nature: one of my favorite subjects to see in others' work and in my own. Is this from last weekend, Shawn? Loved looking at your work in person, by the way.
I really like this, Shawn, because it plays on the sense of perspective. I see it as a vast landscape from a plane. Oh, and Thornton two bath simply works.
