Alabama Hills in C-41

Boy! I sure like surprises. This image from a roll of 6×4.5 film has been incubating in my fridge since last year and I finally got around developing it.

Caltech’s OVRO in C41

A Caltech scientist saw us photographing behind the fences. After questioning what was our intent, he let us in and thought the composition would be better if we were a lot closer. He was right!

“Zed” study.

I’ve been meaning to take pictures of a cala lily (aka. “Z. elliottiana”) and Home Depot was on my way home from an errand; I was fortunate to find the yellow variety.

It gave me an opportunity to try the CSX green sensitive X-ray film rated at ISO 80. These were taken using the Zone VI 8×10 camera and Kodak CE 300mm, strobed with the 580EX II camera left at full power. I believe the shutter was set to 1/150 and the aperture was F16. I also shot it in 4×5 format with AEU100 film for silver gelatin enlargements.

Both images were film scanned but I intend to print a few of these in carbon and platinum-palladium once I find a few I like.
