It dawned on your faithful correspondent that you might like to have a peep at some of what is involved when making photographs in the olde worlde way...

| Henry wondering: "Is that damned thing safe?" |
The light was fantastic and hopefully the four exposures made on very expensive 8x10 sheets of colour film might be good enough to show you all at a later date.

If the sunshine keeps up and the North and North Easterly winds clear off, we might find the year catches up to where it really ought to be by now...

Looks like your stepping back into the past with that set-up. Some of the best thing just need to be done old school. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joel. Using film, especially the bigger sizes, slows the whole photographic process right down. I think it is like dry fly fishing, in that a key ingredient to success and happiness in both disciplines is contemplation. When we sit, or kneel, in the reeds, working out what is happening and with our senses heightened as we observe, observe, observe and observe again, we end up being aware of so much more. Some of this "more" can be tiny, almost insignificant, but it ends up being important when we make that cast or open the shutter.

Nothing great was ever done fast. It takes an artists eye to see the beauty in the small things. Keep it up!
DeleteAt one time I was a semi-serious photographer with my own darkroom. I love old school and that last photo is great.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that there's still someone who knows how to tilt a bellows rig for depth of field!!!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope they come out alright! Chemicals arrived today for colour processing...
