Works in Progress

[Tom Taylor]

This is a view (Newark Slough along the east shoreline of SF bay with Coyote Hills in background) that I think has potential for making a great B&W print so I'm imaging it under various lighting and sky conditions. This print was shot and printed about 2 weeks ago:

Technical Notes: Toyo-Field 45AX camera with 75mm Rodenstock Grandagon MC on Delta 100 at F22.9,1/30 second. Negative developed in Kodak D-76 1:1 and printed on Ilford Satin MGRC at grade 2.5 with a Rodenstock 135mm Rodagon lens at F11 developed with Kodak D-72 and selenium toned. The wide angle lens totally obscures SR 84 which crosses the the bay on the Dunbarton Bridge and appears as a wave-lapped shoreline in the print.
