This image was shot on Kodak Gold 200 with the Pentax 6×7. I also took a similar pic with the GFX 100s, but like this image more. There’s just something about film. Larger image below:
Below is the similar image shot with the Fujifilm GFX 100s and GF 63mm f2.8.
I prefer the film colors of the Kodak Gold 200. I suppose with enough editing I could obtain something similar with the GFX 100s.
Wachusett Mountain History
At 2,006 feet, Wachusett Mountain is the highest point in Massachusetts east of the Connecticut River. The summit is a glaciated monadnock (an isolated mountain on relatively flat terrain). Balance Rock on the northeast side shows two large boulders stacked by glacial activity thousands of years ago. The mountain contains the largest known old-growth forest in Massachusetts east of the Connecticut River, with trees 150-370 years old across 220 acres.
Best Times to Photograph
- Sunrise from the Harlow Outlook offers excellent views toward Boston for sun and moon rises
- The summit road is accessible to vehicles from Memorial Day weekend through the last weekend of October
- Fall foliage season is extremely popular
- Hawk migration peaks in September
