Notebook with inspiration
My large-format notebook, and a new piece of inspiration.
The coloured tapes (artist's masking tape) are from my film-holders; 'exif data' written on in pen at time of exposure, colour-coded according to film stock (orange for Ektar, Grey for ∆100, Green for Velvia 50) and replacing rubber bands as extra safety measure. Notes in book on side indicate when processed and whether a technical success.
Image is of course 'The Great Piece of Turf', an extraordinary Northern Renaissance watercolour by Albrecht Dürer. Gave me an idea for a 5x4 nature project, possibly using Provia 100F or Kodak Portra (Velvia too saturated for this, but think I'd still prefer slide)) - a possible plan for some local Oxfordshire nature reserves. Will almost certainly need to rig up some kind of light box, but shooting with natural light only and no macro photography flash tricks might be a challenge.
