4x5 for 365 project (29/365)

Lomo Domo, angry Winter tourist. 

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.

Lighting: Lit from the overhead lamp over the dining room table.  I think that's a 60 watt bulb in there. 

Film: Fuji Super HR-T 30 medium speed green sensitive X-Ray film.  Purchased as 8x10" sheets and cut down to 4x5".  Film rated at 100 ISO. 

Exposure: 12 seconds @ F22 after adjusting for bellows extension, film reciprocity and filter factors.

Development: Self Developed film in Rodinal (Adox Adinol) 1:100 in three reel Paterson Universal Tank using Mod54 six sheet 4x5 insert.  6 minutes @ 20 degrees Celsius with minimal inversions. Tap water stop bath. Ilford Rapid Fixer. Photo-Flo. Hung on shower curtain to dry on film.
   
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. Cropped to square in Photoshop.
