For MacroMondays~transparent
I didn't want to use glass, so I came accross some OLD black and white negatives, loved this shoe shot. I found it interesting how different the shots could look depending on the amount of light the sun was sharing with me while I was shooting. I used a unique green cone flower in the back ground. I really like creating my own layers in camera.
*I used a flower for all of you who have a hate on for macro flowers, here is a creative use!
Taken with a Zenitar 16mm f2.8 Fisheye Lens mounted on a Olympus E420 DSLR. 16mm becomes approx 32mm as lens is Pentax mount M42 with an adapter to fit DSLR.
I've lived in Bristol for 6 years and only just taken my first photos of the Suspension Bridge. That might be a record!
I don't usually like anything that deviates too far from a normal looking photo but I happened to invert this image whilst post-processing and liked the pastel colours and white branches more than I liked the way the original photo was looking.

Performance piece.
2011
Originated from a project on Foundation. The brief challenged us to find a random (non controlled) mechanism of producing drawing/painting/mark-making.
I was inspired in the beginning by the relationship between positive and negative in photographic film, by how the 'negative' produced the 'positive' image. I wanted to try and utilise my body as the negative so I covered it with ink. The water was the random element and the stains that were absorbed in fabric strips I placed bellow, were the positive marks created.
So!
I found a way to get my film WITHOUT the use of a scanner, nice huh?
Yes, sorry for the grainyness though
And when I had it in color, it looked weird, so black and white.
This will work for now.
EE! So excited!

This morning we went to the home of photography - Lacock Abbey. Whist there I had to recreate Fox Talbot's famous shot of the lattice window aka The Oriel Window. Thanks to modern technology I could shoot it on my DSLR then tweaked it to be about the right level of black and white using photoshop (as well as slightly warping the image to straighten up the windows). And then simply inverted the image to be a negative.
If I can get my hands on some frames and solution I might do some sun prints from this negative soon, that would be fun :) Please also see the positive in my photostream!
Another angle of the crossroads and grave with a negative finish
This is the famous Jay's grave on the crossroads near swallerton gate,Dartmoor, Devon (732799).
This is the sad story of Kitty Jay, who was a tenant farmer who fell in love with the landowner's son and, persuaded by his stories of love, marriage and a life of happiness, was seduced by him. When, after a long night of passion, she reminded him of his promises, he laughed at her, telling her he would never marry so lowly a person, especially one that would contemplate sex before marriage! Kitty went home and after a long day of inconsoluble sadness and hanged herself in her father's barn. Suicides were not allowed a christian burial and their spirits were feared by local folk. Kitty was therefore buried without ceremony at this crossroads, the hope being that her spirit, confused by the number of roads, would not wander and so would not be able to plague the neighbourhood.
Many years later a man wanting to know the truth of the story excavated the grave site and found that it did indeed contain the skeleton of a young woman. the man created the grave pictured above with a new headstone. There the story would have ended, but it is said that flowers are regularly placed on the grave by a ghostly hand and that those who stay at the crossroads at night to try to watch are driven away by perceived terrors before the flowers arrive. As you can see the ghostly hands have been very busy as there are numerous flowers in attendance.
I had this idea to scan some of my many APS negative canisters to digital. After trial and error I've worked out how to get the negative out of the canister. I have a Maplin negative scanner that I bought in 2012. It does not have a negative tray for this type of film but I've sussed out how to scan them in.

Two more shots taken on my latest Intrepid film cassette prototype.
Despite a development problem where both negatives came out almost clear, I was able to scan them and pull out 90% of the detail.
More importantly the film cassette functioned perfectly with no light leaks.

This guy used to skateboard in front of my dorm. He seemed pretty good. I needed to get something shot for a photography class so I asked him. The results were great. I have several good prints that I scanned. My glass sandwich rig was a great opportunity to recapture some of the images that did not get printed in the dark room.
These were made by shooting a negative sandwiched between two pieces of glass. Different light sources and backgrounds produce very interesting effects while digitizing the content.
