The result of the shot you see me composing here is this:



The base of the Malayan Terminalia or Jelawi tree.

"At 47m, this tree is one of the tallest trees in the Gardens. A native of the rain forest in the Gardens,
it has been standing here for more than 150 years. The Jelawi Tree can grow up to 50m tall. This tree
has large spreading buttress roots and a wide conical and flat-topped crown. Its bark is pale,
ochre-brown and narrowly cracked. " - Heritage Trees of Singapore Botanic Gardens Walking Trail A Guide


Fuji HRT Xray film.
HC110 Dilution G. Stand Developing for 60 mins.

Woah, X-ray film can achieve this kinda sharpness.... Nice textures of the roots...

ths double sided emlusion is cheap and good but very high contrast.
The big 8x10" negative helps in the sharpness considering that the lens I used that day is about USD$100. I only have a simple scanner Canonscan 9000f. I have to scan 4 times and stitched them together.
 

Finally got scanned, here is from Mamiya 645AF
