Rain on Three Rock Mountain - a photo on Flickriver

Rain on Three Rock Mountain

            1970s Pentax 6x7 with Super Multi Coated Takumar 4.5/75mm on Kodak Portra 160 (new) at box speed. Lab developed.

I got a new, much better strap for the big Pentax. To try it out, I took the bulky camera on a hike up Three Rock Mountain and as I got some elevation, I could see the weather rolling in. I was starting to doubt if I had made good life choices as the sheet of rain crossed Dublin. When I got to the top of Three Rock, it started to sprinkle lightly. Dublin was mostly obscured by the storm, but the sun was still shining through the rain on the mountains to the east. Before the storm got too heavy I lined up some shots with the 75mm. This was my favorite.

Under the pictured of rocks on the east side is a covered ledge. I was able to get under there and be protected from the rain on all sides but east. I sat there looking out over the Sugar Loaf in the sun while the storm passed.

The color spotting in the sky turns out to be a problem with this batch of film (nearly 2 years old), and an interaction with the backing paper. I was annoyed about this roll getting a little spoiled, but Kodak were excellent about handling it and new film is on the way.
