Princess Arch

After my vacation of shenanigans, my wife and I went on vacation up to Daniel Boone National Forest. We spent a rainy day (Thursday) at the Red River Gorge. I chose on this dreadful day to shoot B&W film to accentuate the dreariness of it all. This is Princess Arch, captured on Kentmere 100 film, developed in d76 and scanned with a Kodak Pakon f135+. Film back was a Nikon FM2n with a Nikon 20/2.8. All were hand held with apertures around f4 or f5.6 and shutter speeds of 1/60 or 1/30 due to the lack of light. Should have loaded 400 speed film but the 20/2.8 performed admirably. Slight adjustments in LR6. The first 2 of just the arch and the fourth with my wife to add some context to the scale of things.

Love the mood in this Jon! What a super cool arch. You have made me jealous! Growing up, Daniel Boone was a hero to me. Reading about him was fantastic. I need to get back to the East Coast if for nothing else to visit Daniel Boone National Forest.

I think #1 is my favorite, but I like them all and thanks so much #3 with your wife to help add perspective.

Thank you Jim. Apparently there are more natural bridges/arches in Daniel Boone NF than anywhere else on the eastern side of the states. I visited one other (and captured it despite the pouring down rain) while out here that day and will post next.
