Of basalt columns and sea spray

Columnar basalt stands up to the constant wave action at Cape Nelson Conservation Reserve near the Great Ocean Road that runs along the southern coast of Victoria, Australia from Melbourne to Adelaide. This is the first of several prints I’ve been working on using selenium toning of the paper as a finishing and archival process. This is a scan of an 8×10 print on Ilford MGFB (silver gelatin) paper with selenium toning, shot on Foma Ultra 100 (Arista EDU) black and white film, with a Canon F-1 camera and a 135mm lens.
