After taking some online classes to find out the secrets to better photos, I've decided to play with some negative space, and some other things that I should be more directly conscious of. This is where this, and others that will follow come from. Thanks for looking and liking! I shoot raw, using a Nikon D3400, and edit in Lightroom (occasionally Photoshop).
Calotype negative, 8x10. Shot on the Wehman Field Camera with elements from old broken Kodak lens from a folding camera.
6 minute exposure in full sun, on a dried calotype negative, developed in gallic acid and aceto-nitrate of silver.
Thought I'd mess with the photo and have a little fun, I really like seeing negatives of photos..kinda like an X ray but not ; )
I know I likely have better things to do than take photos of what's on my tv screen. However, there was a program on about a photographer who found these old negatives and decided to process them himself. This is one that he's processing in his darkroom which intrigued me.
A black and white film negative , in front of a black background with light from the side , gives a positive image .
For "Looking close... on Friday!" - theme : "Black Background".
Complementary colors reversing the palette of a night sky, with an indigo star on a yellow void. It looks like it could have been what Vincent van Gogh would see after staring at the night sky and looking away, but it's actually the left haunch of an El Torito Restaurant coyote figurine.
It's funny how I was saying in yesterdays description that I had gotten out of a depressed phase but today I feel like a soggy towel. I didn't feel much motivation to do a photo today but I am really glad I did.
It was incredibly windy but thankfully that worked well with the shot! The only props I needed were leaves that have been blown to the sides of the road.
No cars actually passed through here the whole time I was taking photos and just as I got up to leave a car came through and it was a magical moment.
This setup is the reason that I first decided to buy a mirrorless camera. When I learned that I could buy adapters to mount my old Canon FD lenses to a modern digital camera I was sold. One of the first things I did with that camera ( Sony A7 ) was mount it to this bellows set and digitize some old slides. More often now I am digging up old black and white negatives in order to make copies. The trick to using this setup is to use the focus magnifier to focus on the film grain as opposed to any feature of the image.
This photo was scanned in with my Nikon D3000 with 18-55mm kit lens using my scanners light source for negatives. After experimenting for ages I have finally been able to get decent colour from my negatives if I had a macro lens the image would also be a lot sharper but ill keep going Pretty good for an entry level DSLR.

A grey seat and table ,on our stone patio, in colour negative form.
Just messing with the phone on a hot day, you never know when an image will present itself.
Looks as if I might have to wait a bit longer on these imperfect results, but ... maybe I should take these as a lesson for the future , hmmm. Not sure.
You might see some more in this vein or it might become a blind avenue.
SQUEEEEE IM STILL NOT OVER THE CUTE・ﾟ✧*:・ﾟ✧*:・ﾟ✧
I was idly browsing Iple when I realised that the JID boys were very similar in measurement to Darcy's odd size so I ordered a set to test and... IT FITS PERFECTLY!!!
The (very short) List of Clothes That Fit:
SD girl clothes
SD boy clothes (slightly loose around waist)
JID boys
Some MSD shoes -- didn't fit Miu's Bluefairy boots, but this pair of rRabbit boots are perfect. needs more investigation.
I got rid of my 3 Soom tinies because collecting for yet another size when I already had SD/MSD was annoying, so I'm glad that Volks made the Midi-Williams head huge enough that I could grow him by almost 30cm. >:D I also bought the cap that goes with the outfit but... his head doesn't fit in it despite JIDs also having a 7-8inch head??? Maybe it's all the hair?
Darcy and Miu are both cats, sleepy-chan is a dormouse. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
