Tent Rocks near Los Alamos

by Geoffrey S. Waldo

Well, this one is a bit different. It’s a hyper of a formation about 1/8 mile away taken using the Sony SLT 55 with a 100 mm prime macro lens. The images were acquired as part of a rapid burst from a moving car (I’d had foot surgery and my wife was driving me about). The spacing of the shots is around 100 feet. The white formations are about 30′ tall. This is a little known site near Los Alamos.

This was transferred to TL 120 using a “4K” screen. See “Camel Rock North Face” for the details of that process.

There is a very famous grouping of tent rocks, larger and more numerous, south of Santa Fe, which some of you may know of. They occur only in a few places, including outside of Istanbul, Turkey.

I’ll be heading out to Tent Rocks proper in the summer once things have solidified.

Used to be you could climb up on this until about 1970. There were actually two formations, one about 100 yards south. Some kids attached a rope and pulled it down with a pickup. So they put a fence around it.

I only recently discovered the MF stereo world thanks to Nik! the first I’d seen was at the 2012 NSA. Immediately after that I’ve had 7 foot surgeries and unable to use my TL 120 the way it was intended.  Determined to participate though, and once things are healed I’ll be getting out and composing directly to film. I realize one goal of this folio is to preserve the art of direct analog film photography, so my new entries are a bit of sacrilege. Since I’m a scientist I like to experiment. I have a bunch of 35 mm stereo and digital stereo photos. One question I wanted to answer empirically was: what would it look like to transfer images from my archive to medium format.
