Rock Form and Surf, Schoodic Point, Maine
This image was created while I was serving my residency at Acadia National Park in Maine, USA. For a denizen of the desert like me it was like a paradise. A photographic playground. Every morning I awakened well before daylight excited to get out into the national park and see what I could see. Schoodic Point was just a few yards away and the soft morning light were wonderful. I was fascinated by the form of the rock and the way the surf played over it. I used a Toyo 45A, 150mm Sinaron lens and a #8 light yellow filter with Kodak T-Max 100 film exposed at ASA 50.

Nathan you are the only other person who I know that uses the word "denizen". As an ex-English major and a bit of a slubberdegullion as defined by Webster's New Twentieth Dictionary of the English Language Unabridged ©1965 page 1601, at times, I appreciate good words.
I seem to think you prefer T-Max over Tri-X is that because of the fine grain and shadow detail?
And before I forget: Nice photo.
slubberdegullion... New word for me. I can hardly wait to use it in a sentence. Thanks. BTW, I used Tri-X for many years. However, when T-Max became available in Readyloads I immediately switched to it since it allowed me to carry twenty + sheets in my pack in the space I formerly could carry four, or at best six two sided film holders. I just had to learn how to process the T-Max to get the mid-tones that were characteristic of Tri-X. Now that Readyloads are no longer available, and my supply of them is gone, I have switched to T-Max 400 since I now run my film in a Rotary Drum processor and Tri-X film doesn't do as well in it as T-Max.
Just like your desert images! You captured the graceful motion beautifully. Makes me long for Acadia again. Nice shot!
Thank you.
