Scotland - 2005
Negative Size: 6 x 6cm
Film Type: Ilford PanF, FP4 or Fuji NPS 160
Average Exposure: 5 - 10 Minutes
These photos are from a trip to Scotland in 2005. I had gone there for a friends wedding and stayed over for a week to visit the countryside for a week of photography.
In creating these images I used all of my classic film and darkroom technique and applied it to a digital work environment. The original photo was captured on medium format film and digitized via drum scanner. I then limited myself to what I believed would have been possible in a traditional wet (color) darkroom. In essence, I printed a black and white negative on color paper. With the exception of "Tree and Cuillin Hills" which is a color negative, all of these images where created by making broad enlargement burning and dodging masks. Further, each mask was given a specific color balance, Ie. blue or green.
