The chapel is part of Björklunden, a 441 acre estate bequeathed to Lawrence University of Appleton, WI, my alma mater, by Donald and Winifred Boynton. There is a lodge used primarily as a conference center, for university sponsored summer conferences, weekend student-faculty seminars and other events. I was only there once in about 1976 while on a botany field trip. The chapel is entirely hand constructed in the style of a late 12-century Norwegian stave church.
Thanks Mark! I had no idea it has been there this long. Beautiful place and location! Would love to make it back with more time to get some details of that woodwork!
I love your videos and learn so much with each video. I noticed you used a spot meter and measured an EV and placed it in a zone?? It would be so helpful for viewers if you discussed your exposure decision when deciding on your exposure. Thank you so much for producing these videos.
@@Distphoto According to the website, the Boyntons built the chapel between 1939 and 1947. The lodge is late 1990’s because the original burned down in the early-mid 1990’s. The original lodge was built as a summer home and was unheated. You can appreciate that limited its utility for the university.
Have you developed in D-76? I recently got a copy of Arnold Gassan's book, ' Handbook for contemporary photography ', where he's using dilutions of HC110 to register zones/contrast , the film he mainly examples is Tri-X, the results and potential of this method has blown my mind, a great book, only found out about it from an Ebay rating about a bottle of HC!
Yeh, they're very similar, 1:3 dilution of d-76 gives amazing sharpness but I don't like the grain effect. I'm saving money for a bulk roll to try his method, Tri-X is really expensive here in England .
very good shots, nice contrast between the dark wooden house and the snow around. perfect for black&white
Thanks a lot!
the second shot is amazing! love the blurred branches
Thanks!

I was going to say it looks like stave churches I saw in Norway. Beautiful.

@@markholm7050 That would’ve been rough!

Thank you, much appreciated!
Lovely Chapel ...
Indeed it is!
Was that the Reveni Labs spot meter?
No, it is a Pentax. Have not used the Reveni.

I will have to look into it, sounds fascinating! My main developer is HC110 and 4x5 film is Tri-X. D76 is a great developer too. Thanks!
