Processed a single RAW to 3 exposure-levels (-2/0/+2), on to HDR, then photoshopped (cropped, orton effect).
I was mostly just fascinated with the clouds that day. Thought this could make for an interesting picture.
Please leave comments as I need the input to better myself!
a friend sent me a Kodak ultra disposable camera to shoot with for a fun project...
It is ISO800 (which I never shoot at), f/11 (unheard of for me!), has a flash that goes off whenever it wants to (a what?) and oh yeah...it's film! (huh?)
So forgive the next 25 uploads which will be the unedited crooked, slightly weirdly framed (the viewfinder doesn't line up with the shot exactly) experiment in using a disposable! lol...
i just seem to like crows...
The final version. Note the sketched look to the lightpost, the walls of some of the buildings, and the main tree trunk.
Fiber based paper curls a lot, and my internegative would not lie flat, even when squished between two sheets of glass, binder clips around the edges, and me holding down as many edges as i could. The tree trunks are blurry at the top as a result...I had to pick an area that was going to get fuzzy. In future, I will probably use RC paper until the final print. I might shoot on fiber and enlarge a medium-fromat sized print, which would get lots more 'fiber' showing in the final print. Lots to try here.
Note this series of shots is made using my P&S digicam, and so lots of lighting and paper curl artifacts are apparent.
This is a process I learned from a book called "Hand Colouring and Alternative Darkroom Processes" by Andrew Sanderson.
Playing around with exposure and aperture - both photos allowed a
similar amount of light, even though in one the snow is less blurry
due to a shorter shutter time.
Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/3.2
