A difficult exposure made tougher by my forgetfulness in not accounting for a pecularity of working with a camera with bellows: accounting for the fall-off in illumination as the distance from lens to film plane exceeds the focal length of the lens. This usually happens when focussing on an object that is closer to the lens than the lens is to the film and requires increasing the length of exposure in proportion to the draw of the bellows. I was in a hurry and positioning the camera for just the right composition had proved to be more time-consuming than usual...

Anyway, it was a difficult job to make the scan presentable but I'm pleased I persevered. This is one of my favourite images of the whole trip.
