An old tree, now dying, which I have photographed off and on for the past 26 years.
Location
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee
Equipment Used
Korona Pictorial View 8x10 (Winston) with 19 inch C.P. Goerz F/11
Exposure
Roughly 8 seconds (or 15 seconds, confused in my notes) at F/90
Film & Developer
Film is Fuji H-RU 8x10 radiographic. Developed in my own "Constrastachrome" caffenol variation. Developed with the intention to salt print the negative.
Hybrid Materials & Processing
Scanned via EPSON V700 (Veronica) at 1200ppi
Digital Post Processing Details
This is one of two virtually identical sheets shot at this location with the other being at a wider F/64 aperture. I preferred this one as the light highlighted the background foliage more, which I further enhanced locally with increased highlights via levels in Photoshop. The same goes for the water in the mid ground. Removal of various scratches and dust but not all as I prefer to leave this film, which has an insanely soft emulsion, in it's more organica state. A slight selenium tone simulation was also added in Photoshop.
