4x5 for 365 project (83/365)

Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stouchsburg near Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania.  This church always catches my eye when I drive by because of the unusual shade of stonework which sets it apart from the normal red brick that most of the other area churches have.  The congregation was founded in 1743. 

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

Lens: Fujinon-W 210mm F5.6 lens in a Copal B shutter.  Yellow filter.

Film: Arista EDU 200 Ultra B&W Negative Film, shot at box speed. 

Exposure: 1/8th @ F45. 

Development: Self Developed in Kodak Xtol 1+2 dilution in three reel Paterson Universal Tank using Mod54 six sheet 4x5 insert.  12 minutes @ 20 degrees Celsius. Kodak indicator 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.
