A few more from the second roll of black and white.
Cold Spring Creek Pentax SV, Super-Takumar 28/3.5, Rollei Retro 100 @ ISO 160, FG-7 1:15
This small stream, swollen with spring melt water, flows from the east side of Mt. Hood. And no, that is not a hand sticking out of the water at upper center...
Tamanawas Falls, Base Pentax SV, Super-Takumar 28/3.5, Rollei Retro 100 @ ISO 160, FG-7 1:15
The 28mm was not even close to being wide enough to photograph this large falls on Cold Spring Creek on the east side of Mt. Hood. In case anyone is wondering, this was a very difficult negative to scan. The original light was dim and the foliage is about the same tone as the surrounding rock. I thought I could draw the leaflets out with a yellow filter...wrong. The filter brought the value of the foreground plant up, but too much so with very little detail in the leaves. I had to basically pretzel the curve to get a usable scan.
Cathlapotle Plankhouse, Entrance Pentax SV, Super-Takumar 55/1.7, Rollei Retro 100 @ ISO 160, FG-7 1:15
True to its tourist mission, the Sightseer took in a bit of native culture at this re-creation of a Chinookan Plankhouse. This is the main door of a large barn-like communal dwelling some 100 feet long. One of about 20 some dwellings in the village that originally occupied this site, a house such as this would have been home to several families. The doorway is the circular opening at center bottom and is a little over 4' high. The plankhouse is used for educational purposes and as a cultural resource for local native peoples.
There are still two rolls of Ektar 100 at the lab being processed, but it is time for the Sightseer to head across the Columbia River to Portland Pete. I will be hand-delivering it to him later this week. While in Vancouver, the camera acquired a nice original type Pentax cap and a most excellent original leather case for the 28mm Super-Tak. Minor surgery was also performed to repair a ding to the filter threads on the 55mm Super-Tak, courtesy of Mike Knight at Knight Camera Repair.
