Earlier today, I headed out to the Leslie E Tassel park in my area before heading home. I would have been more patient if it was not very windy and freezing temperatures. Aside from testing out the Canon Demi (shots from today scaned and shown here http://www.karlblessing.com/shares/demi/ ), and utilizing the Canon P rangefinder, I also setup my Crown Graphic 4x5 for a single shot of the dam.
The problem was I forgot the order of my sheet holders, and thought I grabed the one with some Kodalith film, which I was exposing for ISO 12, even after I checked the ends in the changing back to see if there was any notch codes. So when I got home, and had the safe light on in the darkroom, I opened it up and noticed the notch code on the bottom as I was going to put it into the tray of Dektol. Figured screw it, gona develop it anyways. The negative was quite dark from the fogging from the safelight, as it was a sheet of Kodak Plus-X 125, exposed at 1 second @ f/16 which was intended for an exposure rating of ISO 12 on top of the safelight fogging. So a little tweaking with levels after scanning I ended up with the following image.
(The croped area is 50% of actual size)
Well... least I got something outa it. My scanner doesnt do 4x5, so I figured scan in a panoramic accross the 5 inch width.
