This biting Winter freeze is making me yearn for the Summer months even more and even though I'm not much of a "beach person" I still wish to feel that warm sand between my toes right now. 

Camera: Calumet 45NX 4x5 large format monorail view camera. 

Lens: Fujinon-W 210mm F5.6 lens in a Copal B shutter. Yellow filter on the lens to improve contrast.

Film: Ilford Delta 100 ISO Negative Film, shot at box speed. 

Lighting: Lit from camera right with four 25 watt daylight balanced CFL bulbs in a four socket adapter placed on a light stand and aimed through a large home made diffuser constructed from pvc pipe and white bridal satin.  
   
Exposure: 1 second @ F16 after adjusting for bellows extension and filter factor.

Development: Self Developed in Kodak Xtol 1+2 dilution in Paterson Universal Tank using the Taco Method. 13 minutes @ 20 degrees Celsius. Tap water stop bath. Ilford Rapid Fixer. Photo-Flo rinse.

Scanning: Negative scanned with Epson V600 in two scans and merged back together in PhotoShop since the V600 doesn't natively support 4x5 scans in one pass. Slightly sepia toned in Photoshop.
