WPG 8x8 Square Format
Our local Wakering Photography Group (WPG) challenge was any subject presented in an square 8"x8" format.
I captured this tree at sunset but I felt it was a little underwhelming....so I decided to process and print it as a negative as it was to be displayed in a black mount. I got some advice from Dave, a fellow group member, how to convert/revert the image in Lightroom, and was pleased with the result!!
It wasn't a favourite with group but was against some excellent square images.
Well, the Young Animal version. I'm still not very familiar with Classic Doom Patrol. Someday I will be.
Either way, I've very slowly been catching up on various titles, and I have to say, this one is one of my favorites. So. Gloriously. Weird.

Been meaning to post these for a while, glad I finally got around to it. Maybe someday I'll get to the Brotherhood of Dada.
Until then, lemme know what you think!
After taking some online classes to find out the secrets to better photos, I've decided to play with some negative space, and some other things that I should be more directly conscious of. This is where this, and others that will follow come from. Thanks for looking and liking! I shoot raw, using a Nikon D3400, and edit in Lightroom (occasionally Photoshop).
This is a glass plate negative of my Great-Grandfather, originally taken during the 1910's. I propped it up with a light source behind it, and snapped the pic. Negatives always look so eerie to me.

As of a couple weeks ago the photography program at my school was cut. Not because of low class sizes but only because of money. It's heartbreaking to know that a school that is said to support the arts is cutting one of the only art classes it still has.
So for this weeks photo I've decided to do somewhat of a tribute to all the time i spent in the darkroom. It was honestly the most peaceful place in school and i have so many good memories of it. I'm going to miss it, all the smells of the developer and the stop and fix chemicals, the red lights, the old enlargers, everything.
So this photo may not be the most creative or deep but it stands for something that matters a lot to me and i think that it's important that i post this.
Art classes provide so much for high school students, not only do they teach us to hone in on our skills and improve ourselves but they also offer some relief and a break in all the stress of school.
To any school board people out there, stop cutting these programs. They matter.

I know I likely have better things to do than take photos of what's on my tv screen. However, there was a program on about a photographer who found these old negatives and decided to process them himself. This is one that he's processing in his darkroom which intrigued me.
A black and white film negative , in front of a black background with light from the side , gives a positive image .

Another old 35mm film negative of the beautiful Dolgoch Falls. This was shot on Kodak Ektar 100 with my old Nikon F100 and a Tokina 20mm prime lens. Negative was photographed using my Olympus E-M1 and converted in Adobe Lightroom.
Complementary colors reversing the palette of a night sky, with an indigo star on a yellow void. It looks like it could have been what Vincent van Gogh would see after staring at the night sky and looking away, but it's actually the left haunch of an El Torito Restaurant coyote figurine.
One can only imagine , but fear not this was a bright ( if cold ) sunny day and negative blue sky comes out like this . The silver birch is still silver birch - just the other way round .
It's funny how I was saying in yesterdays description that I had gotten out of a depressed phase but today I feel like a soggy towel. I didn't feel much motivation to do a photo today but I am really glad I did.
It was incredibly windy but thankfully that worked well with the shot! The only props I needed were leaves that have been blown to the sides of the road.
No cars actually passed through here the whole time I was taking photos and just as I got up to leave a car came through and it was a magical moment.
This setup is the reason that I first decided to buy a mirrorless camera. When I learned that I could buy adapters to mount my old Canon FD lenses to a modern digital camera I was sold. One of the first things I did with that camera ( Sony A7 ) was mount it to this bellows set and digitize some old slides. More often now I am digging up old black and white negatives in order to make copies. The trick to using this setup is to use the focus magnifier to focus on the film grain as opposed to any feature of the image.

A grey seat and table ,on our stone patio, in colour negative form.
Just messing with the phone on a hot day, you never know when an image will present itself.
Looks as if I might have to wait a bit longer on these imperfect results, but ... maybe I should take these as a lesson for the future , hmmm. Not sure.
You might see some more in this vein or it might become a blind avenue.
The pattern was empty, but the tower was in the wrong place.....

SQUEEEEE IM STILL NOT OVER THE CUTE・ﾟ✧*:・ﾟ✧*:・ﾟ✧
I was idly browsing Iple when I realised that the JID boys were very similar in measurement to Darcy's odd size so I ordered a set to test and... IT FITS PERFECTLY!!!
The (very short) List of Clothes That Fit:
SD girl clothes
SD boy clothes (slightly loose around waist)
JID boys
Some MSD shoes -- didn't fit Miu's Bluefairy boots, but this pair of rRabbit boots are perfect. needs more investigation.
I got rid of my 3 Soom tinies because collecting for yet another size when I already had SD/MSD was annoying, so I'm glad that Volks made the Midi-Williams head huge enough that I could grow him by almost 30cm. >:D I also bought the cap that goes with the outfit but... his head doesn't fit in it despite JIDs also having a 7-8inch head??? Maybe it's all the hair?
Darcy and Miu are both cats, sleepy-chan is a dormouse. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Part of the 52 Weeks of 2017
Week:21
Theme: Negative
Working out what images might work as a negative was tough, but after shooting a lot, somethings clearly worked better than others.
This is the view almost directly up from inside the new glass-atrium entrance to Tottenham Court Road tube station, upwards to Centre Point tower.
Shot with a vintage, OM mount 24mm f2.8 lens.
