Playing with the negative version of the photo I uploaded yesterday. ;-))
HSS everyone !!
Not knowing when the next wave is going to hit you, perhaps is your best chance to stay positive. The only way to survive is battling back even if you are feeling down.
Shooting with a GoPro Hero is a totally strange experience for me. Being an optical view finder guy, I have never gotten used to compose a shot with electronic view finders on my mobile phone, or even my Powershot S100. Now, imagine shooting in front of your subjects without using your hand, and instead, strapping and composing the camera with your head. You only get to see the results after pulling still frames out of a long video recording. This is weird and totally out of my comfort zone, but at the same time I feel this as another challenge to get something unique and fun.
Here today sick and frail it was all i could do to not let him sail
away
in the wind
thin beyond thin
bone and fur was all he had been
for who knows how long
he came to me to survive
i tried
once i caught him for a hospital visit
but he bit me hard to the bone i feared
and my visit was for six shots all in the rear
so i fed him and kept him warm in winter
the best i could
now i fear he is gone
not come back for more
and so he is finally at home
with a hot meal and a good tale to tell
of life and hardship with a cat tale to sell
while hunting for another photo in my vast store of "stuff", I ran into the photo on the left. I don't know how, or when, or why, but I thought I'd to invert and see what was there. It's definitely me, I must have been working on making negatives at the time.
one of life's mysteries.
on the right is the inversion.
I tried searching on my stream, but it was quite a task. dunno whether I've used this photo before or not.
ah, I did find a version here from Sept 2016. I was working on oiled paper negatives.
**tonight I donated to Razom for Ukraine and World Central Kitchen.
please don't forget Ukraine. they still need food, clothing, and medical supplies.
NO MORE WAR! enough....
Karst Spring is a roaring torrent that gushes out of a wall of rock - it was lovely to be there on a 30C day, lots of cool plants there too.

Another in my (unintended) series of storm damaged tree photos. This big guy has lost half his limbs, and now stands rather awkwardly, perhaps fearful of the next great storm. (Or am I just reading too much into the image?) Seen in Co. Mayo, Ireland.
Here's Candor, thoroughly enjoying the fresh north sea air and finding nothing negative about the space to his left ;)
(we got back yesterday; sorry for not commenting all that much during our time at the seaside; I'll try to catch up!)
This device is used to measure various portions of spaghetti. Or I suppose you could use it as a wrench/spanner for round nuts :>. For Macro Mondays theme "negative space".
The angle is a bit different, but it is the same place as 38 years ago.
A scanned negative - Camera Hasselblad
Another negative that has been rescanned and reprocessed to produce an improved result. The original image, uploaded seven years ago, has been deleted.
The shot was taken at Hartlepool while on a week-long Eastern Region Railrover ticket, and features class 37 unit 37160 hauling a rake of COVHOPS, possibly carrying lime destined for the nearby Steetley Works from Thrislington or Coxhoe Quarry.
Above the loco can be seen the floodlights of the Victoria Ground, home of Hartlepool United FC and, to the left of that, is the dog track - now demolished and replaced by a Morrisons food store. The signal box is just visible through the girders of the barn-like structure on the right.
In the brake van the Guard has his coat hung up, and he's no doubt thinking about the imminent arrival and any tasks he needs to perform before signing off.
The station and surroundings were looking pretty uncared for by this time, hardly unusual for the period. Even so, I suspect there would still be a queue to go back and take a few more snaps, should the opportunity ever come up!

Because darkroom paper is orthochromatic, the colour response isn't what you might expect - the petals of this sunflower are actually yellow and the background should be black ...
Polaroid Week Autumn 2019
I've decided to raid my Dad's old negatives for Polaroid week this time and transfer them on to polaroid photos using the Impossible instantlab. These must have been taken around 1937 - 1940. I'm not too sure where this was taken.

HMM :-)
My younger son assisted me here. He used my mobile phone flashlight to create the shadow around the branch on the table. :-)

I love negative space, which I think often provides breathing space and an aura of calm, so I was happy to see this week's theme. I fought the urge to choose a white background (believe me, it was a battle!) and instead chose 2 more of the pieces of painted paper I bought from an artist as 'byproducts' of her abstract work. The wooden vase is 1" high.
For this week's Crazy Tuesday group theme, Negative Space.
I'm trying to work out a way to use Fomapan 400 as a Kallitype negative, but it's proving difficult to get it to work as I want with Pyro developers. With Pyrocat HD it produces lots of density but higher values are all mashed together into a flat mess. I think I will give up and stick with FP4 for making Kallitype negs.
This is the second of two identically exposed sheets of Fomapan 400, this one developed in home made Mytol, an Xtol ascorbate clone.
