Day 258 - I'm still in a bit of a photo funk. 365 days is a long time! Hats off to those who do it year after year!
For the Collective 52 Photo Group prompt "Favorite Book or Magazine". The all time classic guide to exposure - "The Negative" by Ansel Adams. Part 2 of a 3 book series - Book 1 "The Camera", Book 3 "The Print".
Pictured with the book, Yashica D TLR, Pentax Spot Meter complete with Zone scale as described by Ansel in this book, and a roll of Fomapan 200 film.
Day 56 - "Negative space". I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at all worried about coming out in a heinous rash with the $2 shop face paint.
Negative Stacking
I used to do quite a bit of negative stacking in the enlarger in the 90s when I had my own darkroom and an enlarger that would take a 4X5 negative. I was gifted with an A4 LED light tablet for my birthday and decided to try a bit of negative stacking to see if I could reprise that technique in my repertoire.
The first batch of my experiments using darkroom enlarging (silver) paper negatives instead of shooting on film.
This is my entry for this week's DPS Assignment: Negative Space. I was fortunate enough to ues a friend's Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM for this photo. Wow it is qute a lens. However it was getting quite dark by the time I had a chance to play with it, hence the 20 second exposure.

The properly scanned version from the negative. Weirdly enough i think the version i cobbled together as a photograph of a negative over my phone looks better...
How odd

This is the actual window at Lacock Abbey, UK which formed the subject of the first ever negative produced by William Henry Fox Talbot the inventor of the salted paper and calotype processes
I purchased a large box of b&w negatives at an estate sale. The sale was for the possessions of a photographer who worked for the railroad. The negatives are amazing and will post more ;)
The negs span from a trip through war torn europe during WWII , the photographer was apparently serving during the war to trips to NY Chicago and many cities in the US
Some negs are rough and some are in great shape
Delving back into my early black & white negatives, there were an odd few which actually turned out to be not too bad . . . more by luck than judgment. This is one such which isn't badly unsharp. They also have provided me with several digital colouring practice pieces. On this one I've painted the buses to highlight them whilst not overly saturating the background. The two Reliances may have been approaching the end of their working lives in 1977 and both still wore variants of the old company livery with a mix of cream, grey and grimy wheels The Atlantean on the right however has gained NBC 'Poppy Red'.
I was always a big fan of these short and narrow BET style Reliances, and little did I know when I took this photo that about 40 years later, I'd co-own one.
I have started a project of scanning many old film negatives. Oh this is slow work. I have got very little scanned yet. I do a image then photoshop all the dust out. I think the images will look better then when I first did them 20 odd years a go. I Don’t know if I will print any. This has been fun to get going on this. I think photography is a great way to time travel to the past. Im thinking of so many fun things I use to do. The photo is only about a 10th of what really happens when making them. I wish I could put all the stories of what happened to make each set I ever did. The stories would be long and funny or crazy. But I will just tell the a small amount. Im not so good at writing things.
The man in his tuxedo, Was a set of images I did in 1989, I went to a old abandoned house that was full of junk. I was hoping to have fun with opposites in this set. What would it be like to have a man in a tux but every thing was in a mess around him. It was a fun project. The model is Dave a painter from our art department at Central Washington University.
Shot with a Mamiya C330 medium format camera.
Burke & James 5x7, commercial-congo 250mm f6.3 paper negative solargraph. 104 day exposure, f64 with an nd4 filter. Had planned to make this an 8 month exposure but bumped the tripod and decided to pull it early, surprisingly dense negative, my calculations with the nd filter must not have been right or solargraphy exposure is not logarithmic like traditional photographic processes are.
Other, shorter, exposures of this scene can be seen in the albums this photo is in.
Circa: 1890's
This negative had gotten wet at some point in its lifetime. You can see the mold that had formed along the edges attempting to work its way to the center. Lucky for me it never made it and this lovely face was spared.
In 1978, after 110 years of business, the Childs Art Gallery went out of business. Founded in 1868 by Brainard F. Childs (1841/1842 – 1921), Childs Art Gallery operated photographic studios in Marquette, Houghton and Ishpeming Michigan. Famous for his stereoscopic views, “Gems of Lake Superior”, Child’s Art Gallery went on to dominate the portrait business and win many awards. This Glass Negative represents the quality of their art form and I’m pleased to have it in my collection.
