#63 - Lucky Contact
It was over a year ago that heather kindly sent me a roll of Lucky Super 100 film, as part of her Are you feeling Lucky? project. It's taken far too long for me to shoot it, but here it finally is, contributing towards my own project as well - as #63 in my 100 spooky trees series.
People who've seen it say "David Hockney!" but it was more a direct homage / rip off of Thomas Kellner. This is a straight scan of the contact sheet*, no photoshop trickery, just sharpening and levels. I've cropped the top row of 6 as they were just sky and it was unbalanced.
*The contact sheet is by Karl Howard Photographic Services. Karl runs an excellent dark room and mini lab service from his converted garage - alas he doesn't scan otherwise I'd use him a lot more. i use him for all my proper B/W, sprocket hole stuff, exhibition prints and anything unusual. [You'll find his details in the classified section of AP magazine in the UK]
