In a series of portraits of strangers I meet walking around making a short portrait session on the spot with what's available. Here Ebba is shot with a 7'' Petzval stepped down to about f5.6 using a homemade Waterhouse stop. The petzval is mounted on a Graflex Speed Graphic loaded with Ilford HP5+ 4x5 sheet film shot at iso800 and then the negative is toned in selenium to pop with some extra contrast. Home developed in Kodak Xtol 1+1. The negative is digitized with my DSLR and have curves adjustments for tones and dust removal.
Part 10 of the series on long exposures simply called Exposed
Just a series on long exposure daytime shots.
I actually need a new series but I'm just too lazy to think of a new title.
This is not one of the best processing I did... hope to do better tomorrow.

Part 4 of a new series on day time long exposures called Time Lapse
Time-lapse is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back.
Although this photo has nothing to do with cinematography the idea behind this has some similarities, and I just thought it was a nice title for a new series.
In this new series the emphasis will be more on architectural shots and combining this with long exposures.
Again not an architectural shot. Some trees on a hill in the southern part of the Netherlands (Holland). I did a long exposure to capture the motion of the clouds.

This is a new series in which I am experimenting with concepts, concepts on aesthetics and subjects of aesthetics. All along this series I will still be posting my regular long exposures of seascapes and landscapes.
I have asked myself lately why am I using certain objects to create a photo that can be regarded by many as being beautiful? Why should these objects always be something that is being regarded as beautiful like flowers, a majestic mountain or lake, a beautiful woman or a sunset, or something that is neutral such as a pier, a fence or a bench that given the right circumstances and composition can be made beautiful? Why can't we use objects that are considered ugly in general to create aesthetically beautiful photos? Is it impossible?
It definitely is harder but not impossible. People in general regard a photo in which an ugly object is being depicted like a powerstation for example, as strange. A few months ago for example I posted a photo in which a trashcan was depicted as one of the main objects and it was being judged as strange by the viewers, although the subject, which was a sunset, was beautiful.
World famous photographer Michael Kenna is one of the best B&W photographers at this moment. He is also well known of a series of photos in which the subject was a powerstation: www.michaelkenna.net/html/rcliff03/index.html. It is one of the strangest series of photos I have ever seen but also one of the most beautiful series. From all the great work he has done such like beautiful seascapes, trees and architecture, that particular series is the most iconic to me.
I'm absolutely not pretending I can equal his level of work but just wanted to make a statement with my Michael Kenna inspired series of powerstations: although an object is considered as strange or ugly, one should not be distracted by the object itself to judge about the aesthetical qualities of a photo or any piece of art.
So here's part 1 of my long exposure series on powerstations and other 'ugly' and strange objects. For all my contacts that may be disappointed in my latest work: I will post a regular shot later today ;)

Part 5 of the series on long exposures simply called Exposed
I will use this series to capture either motion or the presence of human beings with long exposure shots. That is not that easy since long exposures will often eliminate the presence of humans and the feeling of movement. So I need some luck and good timing in this series.
In this shot I didn't capture any people, again. So actually this should be a new series. But then I need to come up with a new title, and I'm not really good at that. So I'm abusing this series for all sorts of long exposures. Sue me ;) This time again a 'real' long exposure from almost 2 minutes. I will go for even longer exposures.

I am experimenting with Selenium as replacement for Silver or Palladium in whole or in part. A pure "Selenotype" requires a low contrast negative and short exposure to prevent solarisation of the shades. Mixing selenium with silver or palladium could save this problem, but it is neither flesh nor fowl.

I have to acknowledge that it is really difficult to transform water into wine.
It may be cheaper to mix wine with water, but this might significantly affect the taste.
So, I decided to wait for better days to perform a miracle.

This is the Albert Bridge in Battersea. I wanted to give it black and white treatment and give it a color tint of selenium. I took this in the blue hour but as its black and white it looks like the middle of the night.
