TECHNICAL
INFORMATION:

Photographed: Nov. 1995
Format: 4x5
Film: TRI-X
Lens: 180 mm
Exposure: 30 minutes
f/stop:
Development: N-4

     This is from the middle Antelope Canyon area near Page, Arizona, during a class by Bruce Barnbaum. Other instructors included Jay Dusard and Stu Levy.

     Normally you created an exposure by exposing for the highlights and develop for the shadows. In such dark areas as Antelope Canyon you must open up the lens and let the exposure begin. Some exposures were up to two hours or longer. It's tough to get long exposures since tourists come through every hour using lights on their video cameras.

     Development is with a very diluted developer, mine being Rodinol. I use about an ounce to 100 ounces of water. The idea is to squeeze the range of 17 stops back into a printable 8 stops or so.
