On a September 2016 evening, a lone heron stands in the River Liffey near Dublin\u2019s Heuston Station. Exposed on Ilford HP5 black & white film (rated at 400 ISO) and processed in Kodak HC110 (dilution B) for 4 minutes at 68 degrees (with a presoak water bath containing a hint of developer to help actuate initial development and improve shadow detail).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I made some nominal localized post-processing adjustments in Lightroom to help draw the eye to the bird. It’s reflection in the water helps make it more obvious.<\/p>\n

I wonder if this effort will be obvious as the photo transcends the irregularities of the internet.<\/p>\n

Internet imposed cropping and compression are never the friends of subtle photography. Perhaps that\u2019s one reason that brash, bold super-saturated images prevail on the web\u00a0today?<\/p>\n

Tracking the Light posts something different every day!<\/span><\/h4>\n
