Early Morning

Harbor Entrance, Charleston, SC

Best viewed in ORIGINAL size

Today I wanted to try processing Fuji Neopan Acros 100 BW film in
undiluted ID-11 by way of an experiment. However, I made the error
of trying to do too much - I decided to use a Deep Red filter to pick
up the early morning clouds, and highlight the gulls. And use EI80. Now
I don't know if it was the ID-11 which has caused a loss of sharpness, or if
Acros doesn't like Deep Red Filters. Or, this is all because I had
a somewhat dull grey foreshore and sea. Or, I should have used EI100 - the
rated speed. (The rocks are almost black, anyway, so they were going to be
black). I've made this mistake before - testing more than one issue at one time.
What was I thinking!

Well it's still a great shot. Love the placement of the horizon, love the expansive sky. The gulls really make the shot and give it personality. I personally don't care for the Fuji B&W films they just seem granny and flat, so no flatness here thats good. V
