Colin Crossman

Derelict

Visions of a distant past

Lens: 80mm prime

Exposure: 1s, f11 (est.), Manual mode (using my N90s to meter, since the meter on the Yashika is broken), no flash, available light

Camera: Yashika Mat-124G (a medium format TLR)

Place: In a the basement of a parking garage near my home, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Film: 120-Technical Pan by Kodak, EI of 25

Notes: A priliminary photo was taken with my N90s (on pushed TriX), but I felt that the medium format camera, coupled with the TechPan, would give me a better image. I was not displeased :) The camera takes 6x6 format images, however the final image was cropped during printing. It was scanned from the final print.
