This abandoned farm house on Sandhill Road was well marked with "no trespassing signs" so I had to use my 150mm lens. The Rollei infrared gave definition to the foliage much better than the TriX exposure.

Thad: Really like the cabin shot. That's a keeper! However, it looks like the red filter darkened the trees too much in Wind River scene without adding drama to the sky. Or was there no sun on the trees?

[Thad Gerheim]

Thanks, John. I may have underexposed the film a little. Then I bumped up the highlights too much, and thought that it gave the photo more of an ethereal or an older photo with washed out sky look to it. There wasn't any sun on the trees also.

I've been look at these Oaks up the road from us for months, thinking I should get up here and make a photograph. So, being such a beautiful first day of October, I loaded a roll of Ilford Delta 100 into my 1930s Kodak Special Six-20 folding camera. The Anastigmat Special lens is really quite spectacular for the era (the camera was made between 1937 and 1939), especially when closed down to f16 or f22. This exposure was 1/5th of a second at f22. Every time I take this camera out to make some photos, I am impressed with it all over again.

The Delta 100 was developed in Thornton 2-Bath developer with the idea that it would deliver maximum shadow detail but restrain the bright highlights. There's a full range of tones from deep shadow to the brightest whites, and every value in between.

It's harvest time and the corn is doing its thing here in Wisconsin. I got lucky on the lighting, I think. Rollei infrared, 80mm lens.
