Stand Development

This was an idea of my Flickr friend Jim Hill. I already posted two of those images separately and he proposed that it could make a nice triptych if I included a third one with a modern digital look. He saw more in this triptych as well as he noted that the amount of people in the images could stand for the growing accessibility of photography. Kudos to you, Jim!
If you like this triptych, head over to Jim's page and leave him a few likes. If not, head over there all the more and find something you like. His night images from Chicago stand out and are among the most interesting work here on Flickr.
This also concludes my series of images from Corfu. Tomorrow, a series in Frankfurt will start.
Over fertilized plants may be beautiful but are otherwise useless, like people whose energies are devoted so completely to their appearance that there is no other development.

Photo 3 from the Des Moines Series
Mural on a building side in downtown Des Moines, Iowa
"You can almost hear her gasp!
A blonde woman from a vintage comic strip looks in wide-eyed shock at the graffiti spreading across the wall of a building downtown. ....
Weber ....The artist is known for politically and socially charged artwork along the lines of the current exhibition he guest-curated at Moberg Gallery, which helped arrange the Workspace commission.
But the new mural’s message is more subtle, he said. The blonde woman represents “the overall American consumer” or a “more traditional” Des Moines citizen reacting to downtown’s rapid growth. Partially hidden among the graffiti tags are Dopey from Disney’s “Snow White” and a pair of Smurfs, whose woodland habitat is threatened by development.
“In any city in America, there are murals everywhere. In Oakland, you can’t go two blocks without seeing one,” Weber said, praising downtown Des Moines’ own murals by artists Chris Vance, Van Holmgren and others. “Hopefully, in another year or two, we’ll have twice as many.”
Further development and change of perspective, in life and in creativity is always a gain for yourself and also for the people with whom you are in communication. The photo is a small project in which new ideas were implemented. Thank you for the support and implementation by my friend.

Said Bear found some ribbon and decided it would look better on him than a jam jar. He likes mauve against green. So do I, so harmony prevails.
There are now five Sandhill Cranes at Bombay Hook NWR, DE.
Two had taken up permanent residence at BH and now three have joined them. So at least for now, there is one juvenile and four older ones. The three newbies may have relocated from 1,000 Acre Marsh in New Castle (DE), a bit farther north.
Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
The MacNab-Charles Heritage Conservation District is a one
block area bounded by MacNab Street South, Hurst Place,
Charles Street and Bold Street in the City of Hamilton. The
district consists of seven properties. These properties include
two multi-unit residences, a church and manse, two residential
properties and offices.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to a plaque, the cultural heritage value of the district lies in the fact that:
The downtown block of MacNab Street South, Hurst Place, Charles Street and Bold Street contains a unique collection of stone buildings primarily dating from the 1850s.
While stone architecture was relatively rare in Ontario, Hamilton’s Mountain offered a ready supply of limestone. The local resource was used to great advantage in the hands of the newly-arrived Scottish stonemasons, establishing pre-Confederation Hamilton as a city renowned for its wealth of handsome stone
architecture.
With the MacNab Street Presbyterian Church as the focal point, the Victorian stone and brick streetscape of MacNab-Charles evoke a genuine sense of history in the heart of this city.
Designation of the District
The designation of the MacNab Charles Heritage Conservation District was initiated by the City Hamilton.
The Study and Plan were conducted and written between 1986 and 1988 by the Local Planning Branch, Planning and Development Department and the Hamilton-Wentworth Region. It was carried out in consultation with a local District Steering Committee made up of owners from the area.
The MacNab-Charles Heritage Conservation District is protected by By-law 90-144 which was passed on May 9, 1990 by the City of Hamilton.
I really do not enjoy the process of taking sunset photos, having to be in the perfect place, at the perfect time is something I have difficulty with - and my lens being incompatible with (sensibly priced) filters doesn't exactly help either, but all in all despite the bitching, I'm pretty happy with how this one came out.

I’ve been thinking recently that there is something missing from flickr, (well something that I haven’t found yet). A kind of place (group) that has the ability to inspire, to welcome experimentation, a place that has a lot more depth than the usual shallow resting place for hundreds of images. I want equality, a place that isn’t run by power obsessed admin's, a place that isn’t a all closed network of buddies, a place that welcomes true thought, true learning, true experimentation. I want to visit to contribute, to experiment, to crit others work, to have a balanced group of people that respect others values. I want a place that doesn’t have any irritating insecure people trying to tell you how good they are. Yes I'm wanting a lot and I do get these things from different groups (id say about 3 or 4 that I visit regularly) but I want them all in one place.
To be honest, I would like to cherry pick the people I value (for many reasons) and get them together and create a new group that would be fantastic. But I also don’t want to upset anybody…and god not another group, please no not more groups.
I also have been wondering if there isn’t a better way of developing ideas, sparking inspiration. For me I would love to get more involved in a discussion-based group concerning the ideas behind photography. Kind of the deeper physiological elements to why we take photos, what the viewer feels, presenting challenging concepts, blar blar blar. I feel that to push in these directions is fascinating. As some of you may have observed, I've been trying to get this type of thing going in the threads of some groups, but it doest seem to be working. What I'm asking here I suppose is does anybody know of any groups that offer this type of thing or do I have to set one up, or do I try and push one of the groups I'm involved in into this direction? Also I wonder if there is any others out there, who are committed enough and have the desire to challenge them selves, push themselves in different directions. I only know of a few people here on flicker that I ‘Guess’ would welcome this type of direction but id truly love to meet more. This isn’t about just image quality (that is a given) its about ideas, experimentation, forging new ground (if that’s possible)
Anyway, any thoughts out there?
Note: this is taken on Constantine beach at sunset this summer. I got down very low and used a polarizer to maintain the foreground leading lines. Anyway I hope you like it.

I went back to this site to reshoot it, for several reasons. For one, the original had a light leak around the lensboard (garbage lensboard provided by Intrepid), which I wanted to fix. I also wanted to vary my process a little bit, so I shot this on Ilford HP5+ and processed it in Rodinal.
Now, I want to say this about how I used the Rodinal: I did a "stand" process of the neg, using Rodinal 1:100 dilution and allowing a slow process of an hour, with only one agitation cycle at the 30 minute mark (plus a 1 minute agitation at the start). I don't usually use the Stand Development process because it almost always introduces artifacts (uneven areas), but that is more an issue with roll film than sheet film, so I felt it was worth risking one sheet of film to try for this shot.
What did I get? Well, the negative is a bit less contrasty overall, with better shadow information and less blocking of the highlight areas. I knew that the reciprocity effect would increase contrast of this scene, as the bare wood (horizontal wedged in the roots) was considerably brighter than most other areas. I expected the stand process would help restrain the bright regions while allowing the shadows to develop more fully, and it seems this is what happened. As I say, I do NOT advocate for this approach to film processing in most circumstances (the mythology of the process is grossly exaggerated, IMO) but with sheet film, it sometimes has benefits. I wouldn't expect to develop a shot that had large expanses of a single value (blue sky?) because some unevenness would likely become apparent.
I've done this with HP5+ in the past and it seems this Ilford emulsion behaves very well in dilute Rodinal and minimal agitation.
