Technical Notes

Camera: Hasselblad 500C/M with 80mm f/2.8 Planar

Film: Kodak Tri-X 400, push-processed to 1600 in Rodinal 1:50

Metering: Handheld Sekonic L-308X, incident readings only

Tripod: Gitzo Traveler Series 1, used for all exposures over 1/15s

Printing: Silver gelatin on Ilford Multigrade FB Warmtone, selenium toned

All images were shot between 4:30am and 6:15am. Push-processing the Tri-X allowed me to work in near-darkness while preserving the grain structure I wanted — visible but not overwhelming, like dust caught in a shaft of light.
