Twisting light #6 Continuing the experiments of the refraction patterns of light through formed and shaped plastics. This is quite complicated and has a lot of detail (there's even more in the slide film but my scanner isn't good enough to show it). Perhaps you may feel that there is too much detail?
In this one I saw a group of strange,almost prehistoric fish, caught in a net and just about to be pulled from the water. I see the splashing, thrashing and turbulence as they fight for their lives. Of course you may see something else.
These are taken direct onto 35mm film, it is an analog image that has been scanned and has not been generated in the computer.
This is probably the last shot I shall post before I go off on my driving holiday to France. Please keep flickr going for my return when I hope to catch up with what you have been posting.
This was a long exposure. Velvia 50 has reciprocity failure, but I brought a chart along. I think this was probably f/22 or f/32, with an exposure time either 1 or 2 minutes. I believe this was before I started carrying a Timex watch to time the exposures. And so I just counted off the time: "one mississippi, two mississippi.................."
210 mm barrel lens.
And lots of skeeters.
Scanning was done with a digicam and some Scotch tape...

Iris van Herpen stands for a reciprocity between craftsmanship and innovation in technique and materials.
She creates a new direction of couture that combines fine handwork techniques with futuristic digital technology .
Van Herpen forces fashion to the extreme contradiction between beauty and regeneration. It is her unique way to reevaluate reality and to express and underline individuality.
The essence of van Herpen is expressing the character and emotions of an unique woman and to extend the shape of the feminine body in detail. She mixes craftsmanship- using old and forgotten techniques- with innovation and materials inspired on the world to come.
“For me fashion is an expression of art that is very close related to me and to my body. I see it as my expression of identity combined with desire, moods and cultural setting.
In all my work I try to make clear that fashion is an artistic expression, showing and wearing art, and not just a functional and devoid of content or commercial tool. With my work I intend to show that fashion can certainly have an added value to the world, that it is timeless and that its consumption can be less important then its beginning. Wearing clothing can create a very exciting and imperative form of self-expression. 'Form follows function' is not a slogan with which I concur. On the contrary, I find that forms complement and change the body and thus the emotion. Movement, so essential to and in the body, is just as important in my work. By bringing form, structure and materials together in a new manner, I try to suggest and realize optimal tension and movement.”

Star trails during full moon. I don't remember the exposure time. Probably around eight minutes.
Film: Kodak E100VS
Camera: Nikon FM3A
Lens: Nikkor 28 - 50 f3.5 @ 28mm
Full moon: Bright and clear night.
Southern Hemisphere.
I think a faster wide-angle prime lens may be better for star trails, but there is only so much gear one can take on these treks. The night sky did not look this blue, more a greyish blue colour and the sand was not this ochre colour either. Probably due to reciprocity failure of this film. So, my guess is that reciprocity failure begins already after a few minutes.

The Minox 35 GT, introduced in 1981, continued Minox's successful range of 35mm compact cameras, reputedly the smallest full-frame 35mm cameras ever made. The lens retracts into the camera body when closed, fully opening the cover activates the battery. Exposure is automatic, aperture priority. Different models in the Minox 35 range were identified by shutter release buttons in differing colours: the GT is easily identified by its yellow shutter release button.
The GT improved features of its predecessors, the EL and the GL. It introduced an electronic self-timer, with a flashing LED above the camera's name. Another improvement on the previous models is the siting of the cable release socket to the side of the shutter release button, to prevent accidental triggering of the shutter.
What makes the camera remarkable (besides its small size) is the apparent lack of reciprocity error during low-light exposures. Specifically, the analog exposure system gets the exposure right at night, though the colors recorded by the film may shift somewhat due the its photo-chemical limitations. Simply set up the camera on a suitable tripod or hard surface, use the 10 second timer (to eliminate vibrations), and wait for the shutter sounds to signal that the picture has been taken. Even 1/2+hr exposures come off without a hitch, allowing you to capture star movements, for example. Later editions of the camera do not feature the same exposure system.
Specifications
Type 35mm compact camera
Size 100 mm x 61 mm x 31 mm (W x H x D)
Weight 200 grams (with battery)
Image Format 24 x 36 mm (W x H)

Film Transport Manual dual stroke lever.
Flash Contact Hot shoe, X synchronised, automatic time switching to 1/125 second.
Tripod Socket 1/4 in.
Battery PX 27 [Mercury Oxide] or more recent S27PX Silver Oxide 6v
Serial number. is to be found inside the film compartment.
Basically the same again with the hope of improved quality o the web
My first exposures with a 5x4 camera.
reading 64 seconds, actual, 154 seconds. For reciprocity.
If any-one has a table for longer exposures with velvia, I would appreciate a heads up.
Also I had no colour correction filters, so not sure what colour It might have been! any guesses?
My first tentative go at 5x4 film use.
A little soft, (out of focus)!,
My rudimentary metering was a little out,
and first attempt at film processing at home not the best.
But its the image I went up there to get, and as a first shot, I,m fairly happy.
Still mountains (sorry couldn't help that)! to learn.
i have published a brief account of this trip on my blog, it can be found here www.csmithimages.com/csmithimages/Blog/Blog.html
Night at the New Energy Ethanol Plant at South Bend, IN. I purchased a pro-pack of expired Kodak Pro 100T in 120 format. This was my first test with this film. Other than a magenta cast, it seems to have little base fog considering being 12 years beyond the expiry date. Unlike tungsten E6 films there are some reciprocity issues for long night shots. There is also more grain than I am used to in the transparency films.
Photographed on expired (11/1999, no information on storage conditions) Kodak Pro 100T tungsten balanced print film using an RB67 and the 250mm lens. I metered on the bright plume and exposed 3 stops over.

British Studio Glass sculptural form by Bibi Smit. 1991 Height 17cm
Blown glass cone and two forms cut from the one piece. Wheelcut, frosted and polished. One of her early 'Double Form' works where she explores the juxtaposition and opposition of two elements united to form a whole. She went on to work with the combination of glass and wood and also stone.
Bibi, born in the Netherlands in 1965, gained her B.A. Honours in Glassworking and Design in 1988 at the West Surrey College of Art and Design, Farnham, England. In 1987 she worked with Willem Heesen, Leerdam, Netherlands before moving back to the UK in 1988 to work as assistant to David Kaplan at Lindean Mill Glass in Scotland. In 1991 she set up her own studio in the UK ,eventually moving to her present studio in Amsterdam.More information can be found at home.planet.nl/~bibi.smit/
Manifestation possesses a relative reality, lacking which this order could not be the cause of Manifestation, and therefore of what is relative by definition; this is what is expressed graphically by the Taoist symbol of the Yin-Yang, which is an image of compensatory reciprocity. That is to say, the Principle comprises at a lower degree than its Essence a prefiguration of Manifestation, which makes the latter possible; and Manifestation for its part comprises in its center a reflection of the Principle, lacking which it would be independent of the latter, which is inconceivable, relativity having no consistency of its own.

Macro detail of studio glass bowl by British artist Jane Charles. 'Reflective Form' from her first solo exhibition in 1991.
I will be posting a full shot of the bowl soon. In the meanwhile I wonder what you see in this image? The full vew of the bowl can now be seen here.
Interesting photo taken in Ika, Croatia.
Came overexposed, since there is on Reciprocity Failure for Retro 80s, I've been using Ilford FP4+ as guide.
Got a really dense contrasty negative at the end. It was foggy but not that much. Probably overexposed film, 30 sec of exposure and red filter made it all white. There is an island in distance in middle of photo, for those with good sight.
And negative got so many black and white dots (it is visible in sea rocks at bottom of image, nasty black dots), not sure what was problem?

"Dear brothers and sisters, let us look at Christ pierced on the Cross! He is the unsurpassing revelation of God's love, a love in which eros and agape, far from being opposed, enlighten each other. On the Cross, it is God himself who begs the love of his creature: He is thirsty for the love of every one of us. The Apostle Thomas recognized Jesus as "Lord and God" when he put his hand into the wound of his side. Not surprisingly, many of the saints found in the Heart of Jesus the deepest expression of this mystery of love. One could rightly say that the revelation of God's eros toward man is, in reality, the supreme expression of his agape. In all truth, only the love that unites the free gift of oneself with the impassioned desire for reciprocity instils a joy which eases the heaviest of burdens. Jesus said: "When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself" (Jn 12: 32). The response the Lord ardently desires of us is above all that we welcome his love and allow ourselves to be drawn to him. Accepting his love, however, is not enough. We need to respond to such love and devote ourselves to communicating it to others. Christ "draws me to himself" in order to unite himself to me, so that I learn to love the brothers with his own love."
- from Pope Benedict XVI's Lenten Message for 2007.

Real film speed of Kodak T-max 100 in 510-Pyro is ASA 64!
For night shots I did a contrast adjustment of exposure @ ISO 25 and development of N-2.
Finding the right exposure for night shots is quite simple.
1. Overall contrast is quite high, so: Pull, don't push!
2. Measure for the high-lights (street lamps) and define them as Zone VII. Then open 2 stops (or increase exposure time accordingly) for shooting at Zone V.
How far the lamp lights reach out depends on how strong you pull.
3. Take reciprocity failure into account.

Una foto que desde hace días quiero colgar es esta. El Faustino en su camioneta dirige con acierto el camino que deben seguir sus ovejas y cabras. Mi abuelo siempre me decía que las ovejas y las cabras tienen muchas semejanzas. Por ejemplo, están acostumbradas al paso de los trenes.
Y yo creo que ahí en ese lugar, no sólo las ovejas y las cabras festejan el paso de los trenes, sino que estos también poseen cierta reciprocidad hacia estos animales, porque cuando ven a las ovejas y las cabras del Faustino, ralentizan la marcha y les rinden honores. Y es que este rebaño ya es una institución, un elemento más del paisaje. Por muchos años Faustino

Una foto que des de fa dies vull penjar és aquesta. El Faustino en la seva camioneta dirigeix amb encert el camí que han de seguir les seves ovelles i cabres. El meu avi sempre em deia que les ovelles i les cabres tenen moltes semblances. Per exemple, estan acostumades al pas dels trens.
I jo crec que aquí en aquest lloc, no només les ovelles i les cabres celebren el pas dels trens, sinó que aquests també tenen certa reciprocitat cap a aquests animals, perquè quan veuen a les ovelles i les cabres del Faustino, alenteixen la marxa i els rendeixen honors. I és que aquest ramat ja és una institució, un element més del paisatge. Per molts anys Faustino.
------------------------------
A photo hanging for days I want is this. The Faustino in his truck rightly directs the way they should go their sheep and goats. My grandfather always told me that sheep and goats have many similarities. For example, are accustomed to passing trains.
And I think there in that place, not only sheep and goats celebrate the passage of trains, but they also have some reciprocity towards these animals, because when they see sheep and goats Faustino, slow gait and render them honors. And this flock and is an institution, an element of the landscape. For many years Faustino.
MicroWorld #21 The story continues.
Slowly, beneath the fractured sky, small figures began to emerge from the deep recesses of the planet. For several generations now they had survived deep in the maze of labyrinths hewn out by their ancestors. Living in temperatures that mere earthlings had little knowledge, the inhabitants of MicroWorld had been nurtured by the heat from the planet’s molten core. Now the polluted atmosphere had been almost completely stripped away by the cataclysmic blast of the supernova and the fierce heat of the remaining suns could at last radiate down to the planet’s surface with their life giving heat. It was time for them to return home.
The first to reach the surface were the elders. Although they were young when the effects of global cooling had forced them all to retreat to the relative safety of the subterranean world, this special group had been selected and trained to lead the new generations eager now to reconstruct the outside world. There was much work to be done.
The mountainous pyramidal food stores lay open and exposed, their skeletal frameworks glistening in the suns’ rays. New translucent protective sheets of crystal would have to be mined and cleaved if they were to survive into the next cycle. The old quarry workings would once again resound to determined activity. By contrast their dwellings were complete. The heat and gases had now penetrated deep into the softened walls and floors, slowly reacting to solidify the houses once again. They now lay empty waiting for their owners to return.
In the distant past this cycle of events had commenced with the explosion of the first of the seven suns. In those early days of occupation only brief intervals were required of them as they retreated into the natural subterranean passages, but as the planet cooled it was realized that more permanent refuges would be needed.. Over the eons as the supernova cycle continued and the heat-blocking polluted atmosphere was stripped away again and again the planet was reheated for but a few generations and then began to cool more rapidly. The inhabitants were forced to survive underground for longer periods of time, sustained by the heat from the molten core. But now this was beginning to cool and calculations indicated that in twenty to thirty generations the planet would be too cold for them to survive. Their ancestors had set up observatories to search the heavens for suitable solar and planetary systems able to sustain them. Now the globular structures that had seemed so strange to our explorers were humming as the power began to surge through the equipment and the telescope drives stuttered into action. The large shutters groaned and slowly began to open. Time was running out, the search must continue. Even when or if a future habitable planet was ever found it would still take a generation to prepare for the exodus. But for the moment the inhabitants were happy, happy to be out in the suns light once more.
High above the planet our heroes were completely oblivious to the happenings below them. Their eyes and flight path instead were fixed on the distant entrance to the black hole through which they must now travel if ever they were to reach home. The only problem now was that the hole, distorted by the solar blast, was starting to close!
… to be continued.

While I would normally think that shooting Ektachrome and then converting it to black and white should be a crime punishable by fifty lashes with something terrible...it just seemed to work in this case. The black and white version just seemed to have much more impact, so here it is. While it was shot with a 6x6, I have cropped it from the original square format for composition.

In all the years I’ve been using Fuji Velvia, I’ve rarely used it for long exposures(anything over 30 seconds), due to reciprocity law failure causing colour shift and exposure time increases. I usually use Provia or Velvia 100F for long exposures. However, I’ve been trying to cut down on using different films so I thought I would try this. It’s a 2 minute exposure on Velvia, the old version. The first thing I noticed was that I don’t remember the sky being so magenta, I initially wondered if the Lee grad filter had caused a colour cast(never had before) but then I noticed the magenta reflection on the rock in the foreground. Not sure if I like the colour or not…

I hope this is a little less scary than the previous one!
I took advantage of the reciprocity between Desert Botanical Garden and San Diego Botanic Garden for member admission. It is a relatively young and somewhat small botanic garden. It does have a lot of interesting specimina, especially for me coming from the desert.
I met up with a naturalist led butterfly walk at the San Diego Botanic Garden. Several very knowledgeable docents in the group.
The Naturalist leading our group pointed out this ootheca (praying mantis egg case). I believe it is most likely Stagmomantis californica, but we did not identify it in the field. It is about the size of a thumb, maybe 20mm. I probably would have never seen this and definitely would not have known what it was.
www.whatsthatbug.com/praying-mantis-eggs-all-you-need-to-...
Praying mantis eggs, also known as oothecas, are unique egg cases that house the tiny mantids in various stages of development. They can hold anywhere from dozens to hundreds of eggs, offering protection from the elements and predators. Oothecas are fascinating, both for mantis enthusiasts and those interested in the life cycle of these incredible insects.
www.tyrantfarms.com/praying-mantis-egg-case-identificatio...
Each species of praying mantis has a slightly different shaped and sized ootheca. Praying mantis oothecae have a light tan/brown color that blends in with its surroundings and a dense, papery-bubbly texture almost like spray foam insulation.
www.inaturalist.org/taxa/82008-Stagmomantis-californica
Stagmomantis californica, common name California mantis, is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae that is native to the western United States.[2]
Adult members of this species range in size from 2-3 inches in body length. There are green, yellow, and brown varieties, with subadults and adults tending to have dark transverse bands on the top of the abdomen. The wings of both sexes are mottled or suffused with dark brown or black and the hindwings are purplish. The inner forelegs are orangish, and there are some black spots near the mandibles. In most other physical respects they closely resemble other members of their mantid order, two of which are native to the state of California (the others are the slightly smaller Stagmomantis carolina and the larger and more common Stagmomantis limbata). The oothecae and hatchlings are different than those of S. limbata.

Here's from thie Provia 100 test roll. Kind of a bummer cuz I was calculating reciprocity errors based on info for Provia 100F, which has a terrific compensation curve (basically, close to zero till up to 2-3 minutes), but it seems its predecessor doesn't score so well, which resulted in some of the frames being a good 1-2 stop too dark.
One thing I love about VueScan (over cruddy software that came with my V700) is the multiple exposure scanning mode in 48 bit, which helps to bring out a lot of shadow detail that would get lost using the bundled software.
Hopefully, my Coolscan 8000ED, which should be coming back from Nikon repair center soon, would be able to bring out the full potential of these medium format slide films.
F16, Hoya ND400, 2:40
I'm working to improve my low light photography. This image is not as sharp as I would expect for 4x5. I remember taking my time to get the focus right so perhaps the camera picked up some vibration from the wind or passing traffic on Waterloo Bridge. I set my Pentax Spot Meter for 100 ASA and based the exposure on the reading from the brighter of the two floodlit walls. This gave 4 seconds at f11. I then added approx 2.5 seconds for reciprocity failure (4 to the power 1.34). I was a bit slow to close the shutter so I reckon this was nearer an 8 second exposure at f11 which may account for the slightly blown-out highlights in the windows. I will visit London soon and try this one again. Next time I will try the composition without the Shard in the background.
