Dogwoods in Yosemite

The purpose of the trip was to capture some dogwood blooms which came a bit early this year. 5 members of the S2 Photography Group headed up to explore God's creation. What we found was more high water, gushing falls, and as a bonus, the Glacier Point road opened just 2 days before our trip!

I took the RB67 with some Tri-X shot at 400, and a roll of Ektar pushed to 200, to get some saturated colors. The results were better than expected! And the freshly cleaned and rebuilt Sekor C 65mm worked perfectly.  The replacement shutter was the solution (scavenged from a fungus infected copy).

Sample of the wonderful tones of Tri-X. 90mm lens.

I am loving this film stock more and more!

More tones... with the 180mm lens.

And my favorite color shot!

Overall, we had a great day with 5 members of the S2 Photography Group.
