Atalaya Castle, Huntington Beach State Park, Murrells Inlet

This old castle was the winter residence of multimillionaire Archer Huntington and his wife Anna who lived up in New England somewhere. It is a massive place on very large grounds. You can find out more about him and his wife at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer_Milton_Huntington

These images were taken with my trusty 1969 Nikon FTN and 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor-P and 28mm f/3.5 Nikkor-H (respectively) on Tri-X film developed in D-76 1:1. I have still not unpacked my Nikon CoolScan 8000 ED scanner so I scanned them with the D850 and 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro Nikkor on the PB-6 bellows and PS-6 slide/negative holder. I think the scanner would probably do a slightly better job since it has glass negative holders.

Interesting. I like the subject matter and the b&w. Nice work. Your downloads are much sharper.

Great capture, composition, developing and rendering, (despite your concerns about the PS-6). You have managed to reproduce a huge range of LVs, and grain is imperceptible when pixel-peeking. Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe.
