Visited one of my favorite places to take photos, Beckman Mill in Newark, WI to shoot some panoramas on Shen Hao TCF617 with Rollei 400IR and Hoya R72 filter. It was a good day!

Someday (maybe soon?) this old trestle will be gone. Because of that I take photos of it quite often (apparently). I grew up with this bridge (I call Shirland home). I've fished from it, road my bicycle across it, drove over it, canoed and swam under it, I even jumped off it! (not recommended). You might say it's my favorite bridge, and you'd be right. I recently took these two photos using a 6x17 (cm) panoramic (film) camera with the intention of getting a great photograph worthy of framing. I'm a huge fan of the 3:1 panoramic format (yes, I know it's 2.83:1) and have several of that format hanging in my home and shop. This one too will grace an empty wall. In case you care, here is some technical info on these photos. Photo 1 - Ilford HP5+ @ 400 ISO, Fujinon 135mm @ f/45, Yellow #25 filter, 1/4s exposure. Photo 2 - Ilford HP5+ @ 400 ISO, Schneider 90mm @ f/45, Lee Big Stopper 10 stop ND filter, metered at 1/4s + 10 stop filter + reciprocity failure = 9 minute 23 second exposure. Both developed N+1 in Ilfosol 3.

I've included some other photos I've taken of this bridge in the comments. Thanks for sharing!
