Same as above, except shot with non-ortho dry plate at ASA 2. 8 sec exposure.



Not as grainy because the exposure was dead on.

Waterfall in Natural Bridge, Lost Valley Trail, Ponca, Arkansas. Penta 45 + Schneider Symmar 150/5.6 + Illford HP5 400. 15 second exposure at f32 with a deep red filter.

Awesome! I’ve been there before, long ago. I grew up in the Twin Lakes area but we visited bunch of different places in Arkansa when I was growing up.

Hi Nodda,

Really like the orthochromatic plate. The rocks in the mid ground render the vintage look beautifully. Do you have a preference moving forward or is it subject dependent?

[Nodda Duma]

Thanks, Lee. TBH my preference is to shoot anything other than the Stouffer transmission step wedges! I shot literally hundreds of those over the past few months while refining the ortho emulsion and while tweaking the colorblind emulsion.

Aside from that I’ll be exploring the ortho plates to see where the formula needs tweaking. I like both, though..they are different and while there’s some overlap yeah I think the subject dictates the choice of plate. Going forward my guess I’ll be shipping out more ortho plates than the regular ones..the faster emulsion is more versatile. But the slower emulsion will always be around.

. . Shepperds Dell, Oregon

Shepperd's Dell is a small side canyon in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. Due to the topography of the area, it is difficult to photograph the falls.
However... I designed and built a special panoramic camera to expose two 6x17cm negatives on a sheet of 5x7 film, making this photo possible.
