Ojizosan no.4

Ojizosan no.4

Very overexposed HP5. My metre's battery died, so I could only guess. My guess was wrong. The bellows extension and reciprocity compensation on top of that resulted in one heck of a dense negative. You could safely watch a solar eclipse through it! But, I'm glad I didn't toss it.

A beautiful image, and the background is amazing. I love the contrast here - it seems to just flow.
 
Looks good. It is not obviously overexposed from this scan and it may mean a long print exposure but I see no reason why a print should not look as good as the scan
 
Nice save. I also really like the angle you've shot and the background.
 
this is going to look like one spectacular print !
your digital representation is amazing ..
thanks for posting this. i don't know alot
( if anything at all ) about japanese shrines
and sites and places like this, but its specialness you conveyed .. ( as you usually do ! )
( i'm HOOKED on dense negatives :smile: )
 
Thank you, everyone.
@pentaxuser, hopefully I can get it to look that good as a Kallitype!
@jnanian, your comments motivated me to go through my negatives and pull out the dense ones and see what I can do with them. If I recall, I have several! Thank you!
