Road, Rain Forest, 1999. North Cascades Foothills, Washington
I spotted this luminous moss-covered dirt road meandering through a dense rain forest in the North Cascades foothills as I was driving along one of the quiet backroads of Washington state. The clean, dense rainforest helped accentuate the graceful curving road. I visualized the photograph as a fairly high key luminous image. I used my 4x5 Super Cambo view camera fitted with a Schneider 121mm Super Angulon lens and Kodak Tri-X film. I also used a green filter to help lift the deep green forest values to a brighter gray value. Careful printing must be done to achieve a successful print. I use a Shadow Contrast Increase Mask and a Fog Mask along with a moderately soft contrast paper to achieve a gentle balance of lively values throughout the photograph.
