Eye of the Needle at Bear Cave

I had met up with Sunnyroller at Petit Jean Mountain so my wife Dale, Sunnyroller and I went over to the Bear Cave area, a rock formation area named for the last bear to be killed on the mountain at that location. We found this shaft of light just as we walked into the midst of the rocks.
This was from the second round of prints I made with the 8x10 Elwood enlarger I got from Burchell Pierce. It's old and finicky but it does a good job.
The first batch went in the circular file, the paper was crappy.

I,too, have an old Elwood 8x10 enlarger,(wood, metal, virtually no plastic, looks like a Weber grill with a bellows underneath). I would descibe mine as not so much finicky as downright cantankerous. However, once I get everything adjusted, it is so much fun to be able to make an enlargement from an 8x10 negative. Besides, it makes me smile every time I look at that beast hanging on the wall.

Hey Gary, glad to hear you finally got that 8x10 enlarger! We need to get together again sometime soon and shoot. I'd like to see the 'new' beast as well.
