"ode To Harmon"

Went out and shot a few sheets on sat morning. This was shot on 32 yr old 12x20 Kodak TriX film I bought from Fred Newman many months ago. I hadn't been able to get anything workable, but finally found a good combo for it - EI 100iso, developed in HC110 (1:10) for 5mins.
Still gives considerable base fog (0.5 - 0.7), but plenty of contrast range.

Makes for some VERY long pt/pd exposure times... 45mins for this one, my normal times are at most 20mins.

This is an ode to "The Turnip" Mr. Clay Harmon.

Nice work and outstanding tonal range. I like the composition and this 12x20 panorama effect.
 
looks to be working quite well...what's a long exposure anyhow :smile: not like we haven't had a few of those anyhow.

Nice work Matt.
 
this has a super tonal range .... wow 45 min exposure!... The longest exposure I ever made was 8 mins... (My unit works @ 1000w, 3000w and 6000w)

I enjoy seeing your Pt/Pd work Matt.

Thanks all.
It was indeed alot longer than my usual pt/pd exposures, sipping a cold beer helps pass the time.
A friend recently suggested that I do a self-portrait with this Tri X as it expired on the month I was born 32yrs ago. :smile:
