Wow! This is great! I absolutely love the colors of Portra when it's properly scanned and calibrated.

Halnaker tree tunnel is quite local to me so I often go there to test film or cameras as I have plenty of old images I can use as references. This time I shot a few sheets of Fomapan 200 to get a handle on its reciprocity characteristics. For this test I rated the film at 125iso. Fomapan has a reciprocity factor of 3x from 1-10 secs, so my 2 second metered exposure translated to a 6 seconds, and even then I would have liked to close down another stop. Luckily it was very still. It's quite a challenging scene, shot in the early evening so the sky is bright but there are deep shadows on the left of frame. To counter the contrast I reduced development by 20%. Overall I quite like the film but it is not the easiest to handle. The bright blue anti halation dye that has to be pre-soaked out of the film before you start development. I forgot this step on a previous test and was rewarded with tiny white spots over the film
Beautiful shot, Tobias. There are few, if any places like that in the rest of the world, and I'm sure they are rare in England. Thanks for showing us.
This a segment of Stane Street (literally 'stone street'), the old Roman road from Chichester to London.Quote:

Gabe, what an interesting subject -- a millstone graveyard, though I see your title has them only as geolithic Rip van Winkles.
Thanks. These old abandoned millstones are quite a common feature of this area of the Peak District. This particular location is right near an old quarry from which many of them would have originated.Quote:

You will also find abandoned millstones in various stages of completion all over the natural gritstone edges in the Peak, dating from pre-industrial times when local father-and-son teams would scour the area for likely looking individual boulders that they would carve by hand into millstones. Typically they would knock straight edges off first to make an octagon shape, then work it into a circle. So if you are out and find an oddly-perfect 8-sided flat rock then it's probably a millstone in the early stages - typically abandoned either because they discovered a fault or badly placed pebble in the rock, or the accidentally cracked it.
Fascinating!
Thanks for the background. I knew some of it but not all. I'll have to keep an eye out for the partially carved rocks in future.Quote:

Yeah, I think it's one of those that grabs you as you walk past. Being right by the track also helps of course!Quote:
