Minolta SRT101, Tamron 172zoom@60mm, Kentmere 100, Gainers Original MC developer 12min@70 df. Feb. 18, 2026, F11, 1/8 sec., orange filter. This was taken at Robinson Park going south on the Illinois River Bluff trail about 2 miles from trail head parking lot, looking down on Moon Creek Canyon. This was my first outing in 2026. This a phone scan of my negative similating sepia tone print.
Wait, that’s not a cypress…. FWIW, saw this on FB earlier…definitely a nice DOF that evokes up the natural softness of the horizon this time of year. It might also be a good occasion to pick up the big hammer in terms of toners—I could definitely see taking a VDB or albumen toward the blue/violet end of the spectrum.
Really enchanting tonality there. I've never given much thought to trying ortho film, much less with a green filter. I love the way the water looks and the glow of the leaves in the background.
Thanks. I've been into ortho film lately. I read about vegetation being a good subject for ortho film, and the green filter lightens leaves. It can give an almost infrared look.
I've been trying to shoot a lot of it recently since the plants are already starting to dry out.
