Pondering my decision after first seeing this image for my 'Portals' series, I found I had some difficulty 'remembering' the scene as it shows in this image. 'Something' was wrong... it was not making any sense, then..... eventually, when I went back to my Palm Pilot 'notes' find the 'quickie' diagram I had made after replacing the dark-slide.
It became one more of my 'Gibbsian' back-of-the-head-slap times!!!
The 'dark' tower to the left does not 'exist' as seen in the image... There is NO tower rising up on the left.... It is but a 'reflection' of part of a 'higher' building just off to the 'left' that shows up 'nicely' due to the heat-reflecting material on the interior surface of the window.
150 mm Rodenstock with maximum rise to eliminate any image cropping on the front standard, with minimal amount of swing applied on the vertical rear standard to achieve focus along the front surface of the air-intake ducts.
4x5 Kodak Plus-X @ 125th f.16... Developed in in BTZS tubes with Pyrocat HD.
