post your trees!

I took this a couple weeks ago in the cemetery in Selma, Alabama. I've got another one I haven't finished yet. 4x5 90mm yellow, TMY-400, D76 1:1, Epson v700.

I messed up the original link and couldn't figure out how to edit my original post, so I am reposting this with a hopefully, more permanent link.

Thank you Jan. It was an ordinary clear sunny day, but very different and peaceful under the canopy of the trees.

I think that southern/spanish moss is what makes the image really pop out, wonderful! I miss scenes like that from Louisiana!

I liked it the first time you posted it - and still like it now!

So tell us, is this N-42 or so development??? And is there a significant amount of dodging going on in the trunk of the tree on the left hand side?? Enquiring minds want to know.. :-)

(Great image anyway).

Carey,

It's pretty much a straight print. Development was D76 1:1 at published times. No dodging or burning. I applied a little level and curves, and a slight gradient at the top. I don't know if this had any effect, but one thing I did different was to only mix 1/2 of the one liter package of powder, thinking I'd save the rest for another time. I usually develop 15 sheets at a time in a tray and then throw it out. I know, there's precious little of some of the ingredients, so who knows if I got a perfect split? I think I did a better job of scanning with this one to capture all the information. I use VueScan. Another thing I did different was to use it's T-MAX film profile instead of the generic one.
