Hotel du Rocher, France
I always think of this image as having the best resolution of any medium format negative I have. Taken with TMX 100 with the Rollei TLR 3.5, and with the camera sitting on a ledge, and with a cable release. You can easily read the name of the hotel on the far left; and the sign in the center talks about "camping rules" and you see the white van at the bottom of the far right crevice? Well in the negative you can make out climbers moving up in the darkness and stretching at the bottom. The resolution is so good that even though the climber may be composed of only a couple of grains - they are three-dimensional.
The shot was taken with a deep orange filter. The mountain was the color of clay - so the resulting negative gave it an extra white "pop" and darkened the sky as well.
