Forgotten Fern

This was my latest darkroom print project. (The image above is a scan of the negative, not the print — the print’s nicer.) It was an easy negative to work with, thanks to the limited tonal range of the subject. It’s funny how things go though. I shot this a few years ago and dismissed it in my initial evaluation of the roll. Now I quite like it. I guess that goes to show that first impressions aren’t entirely reliable. Good thing there’s no “delete” button on a film camera!

The Olympus 35RC is a terrific little camera. You can read my review here.

Gullfoss Chasm
(Camera: Hasselblad 503cx; Film: Kodak Portra 400 converted digitally to monochrome)
I’ve had Iceland on the mind lately. Perhaps its news of a possible impending volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula, or maybe it’s because I’m working on a print from one of my trips to Iceland in the darkroom. In any case, I hope to get back soon once travel becomes a “thing” again.
Incidentally, for those who think the Hasselblad isn’t a suitable travel camera, you can read my thoughts on the subject here.

Kidd Lake
(Camera: Agfa Isolette II; Film: Kodak Tri-X 400)
In the darkroom this week I’ve been working on a print of this shot. After a couple of tries, I think it’s getting close to what I’m after. Once I’ve created a print map with an 8×10, it’s time to move on to making the “real” print on 11×14 paper.

That’s Okanagan Lake in the background with the city of Penticton along its shoreline.
I made a print of this negative, which I’m quite pleased with. It was relatively easy. The main challenge was to retain the highlights in the foreground bunch grass while adding contrast to the rest of the scene. A little burning of the sky was also needed to even out the overall contrast. Both these tasks were made easier by using split-grad printing.
