Valley Snow

After a summer snowstorm, June, 1995. Taken with a Bender 8x10 camera, which I built out of a kit (batteries and lens not included). Lens: Turner-Reich triple convertible 12-21-29, using the 12 inch element. Film was Tri-X, but exposed at less than the published ASA (I had it tested). Seems to me it was 200. Orange filter. Late afternoon. It doesn't look as good as it does in my Adobe Photoshop; I'm not sure why. It's muddier here. The black and white shots seem to come out about half a zone darker once they're here.
