A few years ago I was driving up the John D. Rockefeller Jr Memorial Parkway, traveling from the Grand Tetons to Yellowstone National Park, when I saw this scene across Jackson Lake. An early morning haze on the lake slightly obscured the view of Ranger Peak in the distance. It is possible to eliminate virtually all the visible haze in the atmosphere and record clear, black skies.
Clouds pop out in sharp contrast.
Green leaves on deciduous trees turn white. It s an interesting film for portraiture, as skin tones are recorded as ghostly and translucent. Make an exposure test to determine the proper ISO rating for your camera s meter. This film is easily fogged, so I load my camera in the shade, a changing bag, or in a darkroom.
