My B&W film class is almost over and I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. I love the darkroom so much and I don't think I can go back to just shooting digital. I wish I had my own place so I could just make my own darkroom. In the time that I have left I'm going to pump out a ton of prints. Enjoy.
35mm Film
Since some of you are intrigued with the light from the Experimentation set, I decided to let you see it in real life.
:)
Covering two pieces in one build here:
15070 - Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Tooth Vertical in LBG
50950 - Slope, Curved 3 x 1 No Studs in DBG
The roof technique is basically what I thought was interesting here. Then I figured that a stand-alone roof is not that exciting to look at, so added an upper story of a townhouse to bring it together. I'm quite happy with how snugly I was able to fit the chimney in, since usually tedious techniques like these usually falls apart at any break in the pattern.
The curved slope was one of those "why did I buy this?"-pieces for me. I guess I intended to use it for mountains maybe? The vertical tooth I think can be very useful for decorative purposes, so I'm happy with that one :)
Tried a little experimentation today, to see if I could modify the Arcade Cabinets to light from within. Not sure how I feel about it. Hmmm...
Since lockdown, it's very difficult to go anywhere to take photographs around here. So just trying a bit of experimentation.
Jasper tries different bait to snare a human. He hopes to domesticate one for play. This time a ChuckIt ball. The last time, a purple octopus (see first comment).
...with polaroid.
I took one of my polaroid sx-70s out to the field this morning. it was loaded with some old duotone magenta film. dunno how long it had been in this camera or how old the film was.
even with the dial set to dark, the film came out an unreadable pale pink.
so...I converted it to b&w and played a bit. I actually like the results. they look like grungy old photos.
on the left, leon and three of the dogs, one is louie louie.
in the middle, nellie playing with a fetch toy. as usual.
on the right, bulbs and brambles.
no need to comment.
This series has gone through many iterations of processing to get the right "look" to fit the concept. I had a bit too much fun playing around and experimenting and wound up with a few shots like this one, which I felt like sharing here. These are all for my friends school project, which is a series of imaginary shots for a vintage fashion label.
I've been kind of hesitant to experiment with High Dynamic Range (HDR-like you didn't know, lol) photography because I see a lot of photos that are so heavily processed with this technique that they don't appeal to me. But on the other hand, I have seen some really well done HDR photos and so.... Tonight i took the plunge, lol. Setting up my camera (Canon 60D) was easy and I have heard of Photomatix software and the free trial so I downloaded that and took a set of three auto-bracketed shots of my good friend Draco. The rest was pretty easy. (Though in hindsight, I wish I would have used a little better lighting than the dining room light when I took the shot, lol). And what I came up with was kind of cool. At least for a first effort. I tried not to over do it, but I also wanted to make sure it had a visible HDR touch... Above is the result, Original SOOC is below. If anyone knows of any other good (free trial, lol) HDR software I could try it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass it on. Thanks in advance :)
