Harmony, California 93435. Smallest town in USA. One street, approximately 10 buildings. Sign reads population 18 but that is an old census figure. I think the true population is 12. I was trying Pan-F for the first time. It was a very bad day for photography, too much fog, not enough ambient light without tripod, except Harmony had some sun. I really messed up like a bull in a china closet reeling the film onto the tank reel. The clip on the reel fell off in the changing bag. Had to put it back on. Flustered, it took me over 20 minutes by braille method and I screwed up the film for the most part. Notice the upper left of print. There are marks like that on almost every good shot. I got like 6 or 7 negs out of 36 to develop. The rest were mashed. I couldn't get the lighting down on this shot. I took several of differing exposures. Not sure which one this is, but that sign is faded and I had trouble getting the sign to not be washed out as well as keeping as much light as possible under that tree in the courtyard of the artisan's shops.
Anyone with tips? Maybe a yellow or orange filter next time?
