I drove out to Hutto last weekend and shot at what appeared to be a high school or junior high football/baseball complex. Some of these images came out ok, but I think I’d like to go reshoot some of these same shots in more appropriate light. The sun was already set at this point.

This is one of the 12 sheets of 4×5 Tri-X Pan (ISO 320) I shot last weekend. I really don’t think the scanner I’m using is doing the tonal range justice on these.

As I washed these, the emulsion lifted and floated away. So sad, but that’s what I get for not taking sodium sulfite with me. I’ve learned my lesson.

Fischer Hall Interior

Drove down to Wimberley last weekend (it was 80 miles from our house) and took this inside Fischer Hall which is about 12 miles past the town center.
