Sonatas XII-93 (Scenery)

A partly mackerel sky on a glorious day
Lush farm fields and trees take my breath away.
O’er the river beyond the third band of trees
The sunrise at daybreak is a sight bound to please.

Looking east over the Rock River at the south end of Mayville, Wisconsin. A nice panoramic view of the rolling terrain of the area. The photo was taken in September of 2015 with a Pentax 6x7 MLU medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens on Ilford FP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 100 mm f/5.6 Schneider Componon-S lens on Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done archivally using Kodak chemistry, with a final toning with Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner, treated with hypo clearing agent, and washed in an archival washer.

All aspects of this print were handled in an authentic, pre-digital manner. Archival processing will ensure the maximum life span for this print.

This print (1/25) on 8” x 10” paper is available for purchase, mounted or unmounted. Please contact me if interested. Thank You.
