This is a cove on one of the two lakes at Promised Land State Park in Greentown Pennsylvania put on quite a show of Fall color this year. Scanning: Negative scanned with Epson V600 in two scans and merged back together in PhotoShop since the V600 doesn't natively support 4x5 scans in one pass. Metered with a Pentax 1 degree spot meter. The barn is located on Swamp Creek Road in Perkiomenville, a rural part of Montgomery County Pennsylvania.Ĭamera: Calumet CC-401 4x5 large format monorail view camera.Įxposure: 1/4 second F45 with film rated at box speed. As always, the scene posed a metering nightmare so I metered on the front and side of the barn and averaged that exposure out knowing I would have to compromise and give up the exposure of the sky because I had left my Grad ND filters at home, Grrrrrrrr. I brought my older Calumet CC-401 4x5 out on this particular day in September when I was trying out shooting color negative film on the 4x5. It offers some serious challenges to exposure because you are always fighting the sun and the front of the barn is almost always in shadow. This is my "test barn" that I shoot whenever I get new equipment or I'm trying new techniques. Large format film is such a beautiful thing when you shoot it and process it right. There is so much detail in this shot it's just wasted on a compressed JPG viewed in a browser. Viewing this photo online does it no justice.

In 1982 they re-branded the line of gasoline as "Texaco Regular".Ĭamera: Calumet 45NX 4x5 large format monorail view camera. Texaco introduced the "Fire Chief" brand in 1932 with claims that the purity and octane levels met the requirements for fire engines. An old Texaco Fire Chief gas pump provides a nice foreground element for this Autumn scene I shot on 11-2-2013 at the Berks Heritage Center in Reading, Pennsylvania.
