Alternative processes need a LOT of light! Taking another run at wet plate collodion, I got the University of Findlay print lab setup for some really close up portraits on a partly cloudy day. In direct sunlight, portraits can take up to 4 sec., but with overcast conditions, can take up to 15!
The final poured plate of the day was actually a hyper-last-minute XMas present to a very talented young-man at the University of Findlay. Zach Heiser, a talented illustrator and story-teller, had just come upstairs to the darkroom to surprise me with a handmade present made out of nothing but used Polaroid flash cubes and M3 bulbs. Scrambling for a gift idea of my own, I grabbed a sheet of framing glass, started sanding and polishing, and this is what we ended up with. ^__^

That morning was really really foggy. How I wished I had my camera on me. Kept observing through the day..kept my fingers crossed..hoped the same would happen the next day as well. And it did...I was prepared.

I never posted this, but it's on my list to post, but instead of adding yet another old photograph I thought I would share what I did to it with my Soft Pink Afternoon Glow preset before I uploaded it...
This was when it was quite a bit warmer... ah, I wish winter clothes were more colourful, all this black, grey and brown is boring!! Can someone invent colourful winter clothes? Pleeeeease!
Testing a cross-processing technique in Photoshop CS3 for Mac, with my friendly male turtle as my model !
I roughly followed the steps in this photoshop cross-processing tutorial, and then tweaked to suit the image, and added some other adjustments to get the effect I wanted - including the fake vignette effect which is a radial gradient adjustment layer as described here.
This is a drawing I did a few years ago, based a photo of a weightlifter - was never too happy with the way it turned out originally. I've been experimenting with the way I render color and light a bit recently., so I thought I might dig it out and play around with it. It's a bit more detailed and fussy than my drawings usually are -- not sure if that's a direction I want to go in, or if I should be pushing towards simplicity. But that's what sketching and drawing is great for. Always good to experiment with processes. Who knows, I might even start working with ink and paper again one of these days.
