North Main Street-3

Coming into downtown from the north, on Main Street in Mayville, Wisconsin. The road takes a turn into the final approach in front of Foster Park. The motorcycles are emblematic of Wisconsin in the summer - probably Harley-Davidsons! The photo was taken in September of 2016 with a Pentax 67 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.
