Found this tree trunk in the shallows of Holland Lake in north western Montana.
This image was made while attending a B&W film photography workshop hosted by the Photographers Formulary. In hindsight I should have shot from a lower angle to pull the roots of the tree closer to the reflection of the forest.
Image made with a Mamiya 6, 50 mm wide angle lens, orange filter, on Kodak Tmax 100 120 roll film. Hand processed with FA 1027 in a SP-445 4×5 tank.
Really stunning picture! I like the distance, shows (in a way) the distance between the living trees and the dead stump. I haven’t used my SP-445 yet, how did you like it?

Love the tank. Easy to load and very clean when using. No leakage like my metal tanks.

Stunning! FA-1027 is pretty magic, I’ve had good luck with almost all the films I’ve developed in it. Only Pan F seems to not like the developer.

I’ve tried it on Atomic X, Ilford Delta 100, and Kodak TMAX 100. Been very happy all the way around. What was the problem when you processed Pan F?

it was dark, under developed, the time given on massive dev was off. I may get a roll just to try giving it another 30″ on the time.
