4x5 tintype

A ruined building on the site of Tangmere Airfield, a WW2 RAF base. Famous for being one of the bases Douglas Bader flew from.

Graflex Crown Graphic

Gaussian blur was not involved; this was done in camera.

“Direct Positive Paper” mit meiner 4x5 Kamera. Es wird das einzige “Direct-Positive-Foto“ hier bleiben. Ich habe mich entschlossen, die weiteren so entstandenen/noch entstehenden Fotos nicht zu digitalisieren. Es sind analoge Unikate und sollen es auch bleiben. :-)

Graflex Crown Graphic 45. Rodenstock Sironar 240mm f5.6 at f22. Ilford HP5 Plus. XTOL 1:2 15min at 20C. Two Nikon SB-800 flashes (one in a small softbox) with Yongnuo YN622n triggers.

Again, in the absence of some fresh stuff, I'm digging my relatively recent archives for those "underdogs" which I never posted out of God-knows what sort of dissatisfaction at the time when I was scanning it.

This place doesn't look like this any more, adding an emotional or nostalgic weight to the image. The bridge, the river and that neglected part of downtown were my source of inspiration whenever I didn't know at what to point my lens.

I was accompanied with a friend, also dedicated film photographer and seconds after I made that shot, some heavily stoned guy jumped in front of us, yelling - hey mr. TV, shoot me, look, meee... then insisted on buying us a drink in a bar just meters away, which we accepted because, I guess, we're both suckers for that crazy randomness and unexpected things that can happen to you... It felt like Tarantino and Jarmush ate some acid and then sat down to write a scene with two of us in a leading role... somewhat confused with all that, yet content cause we had a story to tell.

On a technical side this was made with Graflex, from a tripod and combined with Nikkor-W 5.6/135mm

This was a hard negative to work with. The sky was completely blown out in white because it was foggy that day. I did my best to burn it in & add some mood in the photo.

4x5

Took this a few months ago on one of the trails near my home. Loved the foggy scene and the skeletons of trees fading in the mist. Love the green and yellow of grass, a hint of early spring color.
