I shot this the first day I was  in Vermont, August 18th? 1986.  I was on a bridge which was part of the Appalachian Trail.  All photo students should recognized this photo.  Shutter speed 1 secondish, aperture f16ish.  Mamiya 645 camera with normal (80mm) lens.  Tri-X film ASA 400.  

The analog photo has less contrast.  I bracketed by changing the shutter speed (I think).  It's harder to print than it looks.  I had to burn in the background a lot.  If I coax the water and rocks they can look almost glowing.  I always thought it was weak on composition, but I really like the feel of it.  People seem to like the softness of it.
