Thank you. The light was slightly diffused daylight, but the blue sensitive film, at least this particular emulsion, seems to keep bright sunlight in check. I'm still getting used to previsualizing the end result with this film. I am often surprised, which I like.

I think those are Blue Berry bushes.

What sort of speed do you use for the 2421 film?

After some testing and additional shooting to verify it, I use EI 6 - EI 12. Given the blue sensitivity, for scenes lit by warm, late afternoon or morning sun I use EI 6, and for mid-day shots or on overcast days I use EI 12. (This is all with HC-110 1:39 in small rotary drums.)

I really like the film, in part because it is not as natively contrasty as other orthochromatic emulsions I've tried. My only complaint is it's on a pretty thin base and can be hard to handle during processing.

Here's another one shot on that same ortho film in late afternoon sun.

Nice grey tones and selected focus on the asphalt.
Well done, Jonathan.

Real nice lines, layers and depth. This works very well. Nicely done!

I was in Death Valley last weekend and visited Butte Valley. It was a bit of a rough road getting back there and I would not recommend it unless you have a high clearance vehicle and no loose teeth.

This is a view of Striped Butte in morning light.

Interesting, almost dreamy look with clouds and background not sharply focused.
Nicely controlled focus between sharp road and soft background !
