Below are a couple of photographs, along with technical details. Enjoy!

This is a periodic geyser located near Calistoga, California. It was shot on 4x5 Fujichrome 50 using a Nikon 90mm lens with a 1B filter on February 18, 1985. Exposure was 1/30 second at f/32. Camera adjustment was a 19mm front rise. Standard E-6 processing was used.

Part of the lake in New York City's Central Park. Shot on 4x5 Kodak High speed Infrared film 4143 on July 27th, 1985 using a 450mm Nikon M-series apochromat with an 88A filter. A 23mm front rise was used. Exposure was set at 1/4 second at f/16, which was too much. After developing in ID-11, it was necessary to treat the negative in Farmer's reducer for 1 minute to remove excess density. Correct exposure (which is difficult to get exactly right for IR film) probably should have been at most half of that given.
