The third day, the flood IV
With everything going on at the time, I didn't find many opportunities to get out and photograph. This one morning I found a few minutes and set about finding some images. The composition in this photograph I'd roughly sketched in my mind before heading out - I knew that some of the tree limbs were dangling in the high water and I was hoping to turn the flailing leaves and rushing water into some interesting abstracts.
We were very lucky in that I only had to worry about if I was going to be able to get to work or not on a given day.
Many others lost a lot due to these torrential rains and my thoughts go out to them.
Committed to expired Ilford HP5 using a Leica M3 and 50 mm Summicron DR. Developed in Ars-Imago FD with a one-stop push and digitised with a digital camera and macro lens. Positive conversion and contrast done with Negative Lab Pro. Dust removal and further contrast adjustment in Photoshop.
