I captured this portrait of the neighbor kid showing off her new dog in May of 1978.  Natural sunlight coming from the girl’s left was slightly enhanced for fill-in by reflecting off a white garage just off camera view on the girl’s right.

Canon AE-1 with FD 50mm f/1.8 lens

Tri-X 400 ASA film developed in Microdol X for 10 minutes at 68F

You got the settings bang on and it's a great composition, rendering a lovely image.  I wonder if that young lady has a copy of it now - I guess she would be in her 50's...   There was something special about Tri-ax film, the tonal quality with the fine grain rendered a special feeling to the images.

Very nice!

It (and your description) brings back fond memories.

I also once owned an original AE-1 and 50mm f1.8.  I shot many of rolls of Tri-X with that camera and lens and developed them in D-76.

Thank you, zakslm!  If I close my eyes for a moment, I can almost smell the developer and stop bath...it really takes one back in time!
