Just a bit of fun .I stood next to this woman filming with her smartphone and snapped this shot which I did the selective colouring in PS.
In my ongoing quest to make digital art less flat, it's time to introduce the latest offering from The Shop: the analog film textures.
My wife's grand father gifted me some of his film cameras just over a decade ago. I shot some rolls of film, then promptly forgot to get them processed. I recently found the rolls, and a nice, independent lab to get them taken care of.
Since I don't know too much what I'm doing when shooting manually, the results were really funky, and captured more the artifacts of the process (gain, light leaks, dust, etc.) than actual images. That means one can overlay these on top of flat artwork, and instantly give it depth, substance, and meaning. All from real film!
Each negative strip has been scanned at ultra-high resolution (1,200 ppi+), then carefully edited, then output into 18" wide images at 300 ppi.
The resulting sixty-nine (69) textures produce interesting things either by using blending modes (Overlay, Soft light, Screen, Lighten, Color dodge), or on their own, as background elements.

I need a film scanner. Until then, this is all I can show you from the shots taken today at the students' manifestation (weapon used: a full-manual Minolta X-700). home developed.
Well that does it for Seattle! Next up will be Fort Lauderdale and then on to the Caribbean!
This is my kind of December!

so, i kind of neglected to tell you all that i started taking pictures on film with my dad's nikon from the 1980s (see picture in comments). this was my first roll (b&w), it's all just me experimenting so there's really nothing exciting on it at all. i have a 50mm f/1.8 lens for it and also a 70-210mm f/2.8 lens that also functions as a macro lens. these ones were all taken with the 50mm, i just found out about/starting using the 70-210 and it's my new favorite lens. i'm going shooting today so i'll hopefully get a lot of pictures, i'll definitely be shooting in digital too but i'll post up film pictures as soon as i get them developed (and if they're good enough...:P). i'm shooting color now which i'm excited about.
A non-digital photo for today! Playing around with the Minolta XD-11 a few months ago. I'll post another one I like tomorrow.
