Making Images

Laguna Beach, CA - 2010 I was able to get the Chamonix out this weekend to try some TXP 320, Tri-X in large format, and some long exposures. I found an old article will I was traveling last week that mentioned the useful combination of Pyrocat-HD and TXP. I love the negatives. Meaty. Thick. Nice. For scanning, not so much. I just can't get what I want out of them. 

This was as much a session to clear the head as much as anything else. I didn't want anything literal so I thought I'd try my hand with the new meter, a red filter and the new film. I also exposed a couple of sheets of Acros 100 but haven't developed it yet. Thankfully this is a spot I can go back too and keep trying to get it right.

This was a 4 minute exposure. At this size you can't tell that a dog bumped the tripod leg. As I said, trials and tribulations!
