Plucked from the #photography archives.
I had just come out to my closest friends a week or two earlier on this same trip, so the male/female split of the standee was of the standee was what caught my eye.
We had to walk back to the car for my equipment, because hauling 30 pounds of gear on my back wasn’t how we did our evening ambles. Worth it.
I remember it was well dark, and getting the movements right to have both the castle and the standee in focus took some work.
The negative was processed semi-stand in Rodinal at 1/100 dilution for an hour.
The castle is just barely overexposed. I shot two sheets, and were it possible for me to keep things better organized while traveling, I could have processed the two independently and let the second sheet soak for less time. Then again, highlights are the first to clear. 🤷♀️
@pauline Thank you!!!
