This is more like it. This one and another you can see @ Flickr were taken with the Macanudo-cam, my cigar-box 4×5 and I’m a lot happier with the results.

The subject is a public installation called Boulder Wash (this is the only mention I could find of it) by John Hoge. It’s a nice arrangement of what I think are granite boulders, partly polished, sectioned to resemble tables, and cracked open like geodes.

Taken with Arista Ultra.EDU 100 sheet film, exposure time unrecollected, but I think in the 4 second range, stand-developed in Rodinal 1:100. I had to slide the midrange in the levels after scanning as it was bit flat, but not too much. The ends I left alone as there was plenty of detail there.
