There are plenty of yellow fields around where i live, yesterday I went out with my 4x5" camera to shoot some of those fileds. Had some nice looking clouds and some sunlight that was coming hrough in very specific areas.
Shot on Fomapan 100, developed for 7 min in Ilford HC 1+31. Scanned on Flextight iii.
I'm doing some technical tests with Fomapan 100 (5x7 sheet size) paired with the Adox formulation of Rodinal.
My first sheet (of two) was developed in Rodinal 1:50 for the recommended 9 minutes, and it gave a contrast index suitable for Salt Printing! The second sheet was processed for 5 minutes (almost half the recommended time) and was a much more satisfactory negative, with a better range of tones. Now that I have a baseline for Rodinal, I'm going to do a comparison test of Rodinal VS PMK to see if the differences are as significant as I expect they are.

I have been shooting B&W analogue for a few weeks. Although I have enjoyed myself massively, the results were not always to my liking. I now begin to understand more about the process and hope to do my first contact prints soon.
B&W analogue inspired me for two reasons. The multiple shades of beautiful grey in a large format contact print and the almost journalistic gritty look. This image begins to touch the second category, a solitaire tree in the wind.

After two weeks break I've finally came back from my latest trip. It's good to be here once again.
At first my post for tonight was going to be a recent image I made of the Brooklyn Bridge, but then I had already posted two b&w New York images previously so wanted to change it up and I have a snowy Mt. Hood very much on my mind after a trip up there this past weekend and another coming up this weekend. So I was going to post a color photo from a hike around Trillium Lake I did just under a month ago. But then I came across this image from that same trail but from last year. It was a solo trek and the first time I had ever done the loop around the backside of the lake during winter. It is pretty quiet and deserted back there. I suppose on some days you might see your share of cross country skiers or other snowshoers, but on this day it was just me and the quietly falling flakes in the middle of a winter forest. Oh yeah, I also had my Hasselblad loaded with a roll of Foma pan 400 film too.

Another place, a bit further, no lake, but not so different.
I know I show lots of similar photos recently. I think I really need a new idea or any idea, rather: Something that might tie different views together and somehow gives a bit of guidance. But right now I do not have this idea and thus just keep shooting. It's up to you if you find it boring or interesting. One day it'll all make sense, I hope ... ;-)
This is a promotional illustration for my Design Studio called FOMA and for our subdivision of entertainment art called WeeNeeds.
This is a POSTER in A2 size that is given to new clients together with our DVD BOXED portfolio.
This illustration was used as cover of NewWebPick magazine Special edition #16. They have interviewed us and we talk about how we build the studio, furnitures and everything from scratch with our own hands. and also about our works... of course.

All vector done in Illustrator CS3.
UPDATED NOTE:
Almost All characters on this illustration will be Plush and Vinyl Real Toys... We will release them in our store, soon.
I'm hideously busy at the moment, so not much of interest, but....
Readers of a certain age will doubtless recall the Benny Hill show.
Benny personified the Great German Camera - over-age, over-weight but smirkingly top dog. The girls, interchangeable in their perfection, were the cameras of Japan. Henry McGee (cheap-suited authority) and Bob Todd (pure chaos yet strangely fascinating) were respectively Praktica and Zenit.
And British cameras? They were Jackie Wright - the poor little chap who got slapped around the head. The best that could be said is that they too played their part.
The Cresta II (seen above) is a painfully dull British camera from the late 1950s. But in a couple of days something very exciting is going to happen! It will walk on stage an extra and walk off a star :)
So just wait and see :)
My heartfelt thanks to Paul Messerschmidt for inspiring the title :)

Experimenting further to see what I can use for developer when using an inkjet printer with developer on photo paper. This will also finally allow to print a photo on photo paper without a dark room.
Here I brush on Foma Variant 312 paper the retro320 developer. It gives enough time to make some creative decisions. Toning with Ferro Blend (red) and FAC plus Kferro (Blue)
