This was an experiment to see how Perceptol @ 1 + 1 affected grain, contrast, tone, etc

 

It was an overcast day with a flat but fairly bright cloud cover, making getting a good image challenging. As can be seen on the water, it was raining at the time.

The wind blew it all away

Stirring the water bringing rain.

Was it all so long ago?

Nothing changes

Move on

Nothing to see here.

Taken in the middle of the day with high, thin cloud and a haze over the water almost obsuring the oil refinery. The sky was featureless, the light was strong but not harsh, shadows were deep and everything from mid-tones to highlights blended into one.

"The main attraction of Stack Rocks is the sea bird colony best viewed from May to early July when thousands of Common Guillemot crowd on to the Stacks to breed together with smaller numbers of Razorbill, European Shag and Kittiwake. Red-billed Chough are regular here as are Peregrine Falcon. In the spring and summer Northern Wheatear are common on the rocky grassland of the clifftops. In the winter a walk eastwards towards St Govans may produce Merlin, possibly Hen Harrier and good flocks of European Golden Plover. Offshore the occasional Diver is possible."

When we've spent a long time in the dark looking at 'shadows' when we turn and look the other way we are more than often blinded by the light. We must be patient, give ouselves time to adjust as only then do we have any hope of seeing things as they really are. Then we will be in a better position to make progress.

The view towards Rosebush from Bwlch y Gwynt

 

The lighting was quite extreme and changing quickly so I shot 3 bracketed pictures (+1/-1) to make sure I got 'something'. This was without compensation. The light chnaged and I shot another 3 (as before) but nothing satisfied - lost shadows, blown highlights and the one in the middle was just flat. I think another film stock, one that is more forgiving than Delta (eg FP4+, Pan F) would have helped.

Comments/advice welcome

Moor Road, Pentax Km, 50mm, Tmax 400 in Perceptol

Pentre Ifan looking through to the Cairns.

Pentre Ifan is a Neolithic burial chamber (approx 5k years old). It has a 5m (16' 6")‘capstone’ appearing to be precariously balanced on three ‘uprights’.

 

Having produced a number of images that aimed to bring out the atmosphere of this place, and one to show the straight scanned negative (as a reference for anyone wanting to try this method) this is a straight process using LrC for brightness, contrast, local shading (sky - it was plain white) and the removal of flaws in the negative (white dots, a watermark from drying). It's intended as an illustration of Pentre Ifan (as oppossed to fine art).

The scanned neg didn't need much work: remove a few flaws from the sky, alter the contrast a little to bring out the sky and emphasise the texture in the water and stonework.

 

I could agitate more during development to increase contrast bu then I'd risk loss of detail in the dark areas (of other frames).

A view, a way of life, that appears unchanged for decades. Hidden from view (by farmhouse walls and/or lack of knowledge of history) are the impacts of political policy (block planting monoculture) and technology (internet, mobile phones, agrochemistry). Rural poverty and affluence sit side-by-side, cheek-by-jowl (the farmer, underpaid, underappreciated, controlled by supermarkets sit alongside the 'sold a house in the city for the cost of a farm, retired on a good pension' pushing up house prices to exclusion of anyone local trying to enter the housing market.

 

I'm not begrudging those who have - I too, would do the same. The problem lies in the single-mindedness of the powerful market to which those in power have yielded (there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed on the alter of profit) without a thought for the greater good.
