Especially when I look at scenes like this.
I would have had to shot medium foramt (at least), through a light yellow filter, overexpose by one or one and a half stops, and cut development by 20% or so.
The next steps in the dark room would entail printing through a couple of different multi-contrast filters, and printing slightly light so that when the paper was toned the blacks didn't go ker-flooey.
And then there is the inevitable spotting, and worse: small black spots, or patches of uneven development.
This would have taken hours. The hardest part of getting this image was the trudging through the snow.
