Water Tower - Ogden, Utah - Color experiment

Water tower shot scanned as color and then color adjusted in post with photoshop. This is what photoshop extracted from the scene and I just worked to highlight that. The blue sky comes up almost immediately in all of these shots just adjusting the highlights, the other colors have to "found" by bringing up the hues and using filters. Unfortunately no hard yellows and no hard reds. But muted like a colorized post card. Based of 3 color theory and the magic of curiosity. Cool morning that ended in snow. Kodak Plus-X Pan (125) from 1981. Shot at ISO 80. No problem. Stand developed for 64 minutes in homebrewed Kalogen. Nikon N90s with a hacked Soligor 35mm lens in T4 mount. Part of this is to test some theories (mostly not mine) about metering and stand development to get to "gamma infinity" Interesting first test.
