Turbulence over Granite" Another of my favorite places. I have done several different images of this place, and I began wondering, what would happen if I used a longer lens to isolate these rocks? Of course when I did that I had to use a smaller aperture to hold depth of field, and that necessitated a longer exposure time. I honestly didn't know what the negative would be like until I proofed it and then scanned it. A thing I like about using long exposures with moving subjects is that it breaks the image down into its most basic elements. And that's another reason I use black and white film a lot.

I used a Toyo 45A camera, 300mm Rodenstock lens, no filter and Kodak T-Max 100 film rated at ASA 50. My recollection is that I used F-64 for two minutes.
