On October 17, 2020, Conway Scenic Railroad operated the annual 470 Club Special. This ran from North Conway to Mountain Junction, then made a side trip down the Redstone Branch to Pudding Pond, before proceeding west over Crawford Notch to Fabyan, New Hampshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I helped organize the photo stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the digital color photographs previously displayed on Tracking the Light (and in the pages of Trains Magazine), I exposed a roll of Ilford HP5 black & white film using a vintage Nikkormat FTN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday (Sunday, December 6, 2020), I processed the film using my custom-tailored split development technique that I\u2019ve previously detailed on Tracking the Light). This is intended to give the film broad tonality when scanning for internet presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After processing, I scanned the negatives using an Epson V600 flatbed scanner driven by Epson software. These scans were scaled using Adobe Lightroom without any adjustment to contrast, exposure, or sharpness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
