Down the Port

A couple of weeks ago we went 'down the Port' for a dander.  Portstewart, that is.  It was a bright afternoon/evening and although I had the 'Blad with me I wasn't confident.  But when you get both exposure and development half right there's a fair bit of detail captured in an HP5+ negative and that, my friends, gives one plenty of scope to play around in the darkroom.  This was the result after a few test prints, on Warmtone RC paper:

  1. That's beautiful and dramatic. Definitely one for the living room wall or an exhibition.

  2. Wow... what a great print, my friend! I love the skies and the crispy highlights in the water in this one.

    1. Thank you Roy - I was quite pleased with this one myself. Additionally as I have a connection to the school on the rock.
