I like the trees and the farm house. Both are great Steve

I wish that I would have made an exposure or two with a regular pan film, if only to see how it would be different.
What I don't remember is why I didn't ever make a print of this in the darkroom, as I was printing most everyday back then. I didn't even scan it until 2012, more than fifteen years after I started digitizing my collection.
So, the only prints that I have made from this negative are digital but my approach in scanning, editing and printing digitally is heavily based on all of those hours I spent in the darkroom, I don't think that is any way that it couldn't be. I would go so far as to say that just about anyone who is producing high quality digital prints learned in the darkroom first.
Anyway, "rediscovering" this negative really was a gift, I consider it one of my all time best images.
Thanks for the info, I was wondering if you used infrared film. Personally, I don't think it matters whether the print is "digital" or analog, either way it's a really great photo.
