Weeds and Frost, 1987. Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington

 

This is one of the few negatives I shot on 4x5 T-Max 400 film. The fairly contrasty highlights of this film helped accentuate the "crispness" of the icy highlights on the frozen weeds. To increase the apparent sharpness of the image, I used a Contrast Reduction Mask, which also served to open the deep shadow detail a bit. I then used a SCIM mask to enhance the crisp black accents, resulting in a rich tactile quality. The print is moderately toned in selenium to achieve the proper print color and depth.
