Standing Stone Creek #11 – Color Photographic Print from 4×5 Film

Price range: $160.00 through $875.00

All images and content copyright Archival Prints LLC and Skip Gleichman.
“Standing Stone Creek #11” is offered as a custom fine art color photographic print, signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity. This image was captured before the Ancient Old Growth Eastern Hemlocks in Central PA were decimated.

I captured this subject in Kodak E100SW transparency film with an Ebony 4×5 camera and 135mm Rodenstock Sironar S lens in Alan Seeger Natural Area in Rothrock State Forest, Pennsylvania.

This painterly image was captured on a latter visit to this true virgin old growth forest after an brief afternoon shower. Another intimate landscape of Standing Stone Creek, this image was taken in late Spring during a period of perfect lighting on an afternoon spent in the lush old growth forest. In this spot, the stream flows swiftly though tunnels of Rhododendrons under the high canopy of old, tall and straight conifers. In another month, the Rhododendrons would be in full bloom adding slashes of pale pink and white blooms to the scene.

This image entailed a patient wait for a period of calm even though the gentle intermittent breeze was barely perceptible. To capture this image with the longer shutter speed required to soften the flowing water and provide an infinite depth of field, I needed an extended period of absolute calm. Once the leaves finally stopped moving, I waited perhaps a minute to give the tall trees a chance to stop their gentle but imperceptible “sway”. Upon feeling that everything was indeed truly still enough, I captured this image and another with black and white film with an 8 second exposure at f32. When I returned home, a 550 mile drive, I developed the film in my darkroom, inspected it for sharpness and luckily could not find one leaf that had moved during the long exposure.

This limited Edition Print will be Signed and Numbered. Pricing includes the print only with a white border and includes free shipping unless otherwise noted. This Print Requires Framing (see detailed info below).

Description

“Standing Stone Creek #11” is offered as a limited edition, color fine art photographic print. I captured this subject in Alan Seeger Natural Area in Rothrock State Forest, Pennsylvania on Kodak 4×5 E100SW transparency film with an Ebony 4×5 view camera and 135mm APO Rodenstock Sironar S APO lens.

The drum scan of the 4×5 transparency assures print sizes to 52 x 65 (and larger) are critically sharp at extremely close viewing distances. All images are as I saw them and imaged with only color, brightness, shadow and contrast & local light and shadow adjustments, just as I did in the darkroom. 

This is a museum quality fine art print in Color. There is also a black and white version of this image taken with TMax B&W sheet film available in the Black and White Intimate Landscapes collection.

    Included in Your Print Purchase:

  • Pricing includes the print only, shipped flat to 16 x 20 or rolled in a tube mailer for larger sizes.
  • Framing, Presentation and Preservation:

  • All prints will require a frame, glass and backing material that matches print size. (Frames usually come 1/8” oversized to accommodate the glass, print and backing, please verify.)
  • Borderless Framing (meaning no cut matboard): All prints include a white border containing the number and signature.
  • Again, the white borders of the print assure that a cut mat board is not required for framing an Archival Print.
  • Acid Free white foamcore is a good choice for backing in .25” thickness. An Acid Free matboard is optional between the backer board and the print.
  • Glass Options (“the Glazing”): Classic AR Glass, Museum Glass or other UV glass or a UV Acrylic as the “Glazing” (again meaning Glass) is highly recommended for UV protection and to protect the print. Classic AR Glass and Museum Glass are Anti-Reflective which greatly enhances viewing the print.
  • No spray or coating is required or recommended on any of our prints, please refrain from any such treatment.
  • Other Framing Options: We can help with the framing in several molding styles and glazing options or steer you in the right direction for the perfect framing materials that assure archival print endurance.
