Helllo All!
I am a happy girl today! I had a bunch of film developed and they look great. There are a few I am especially proud of!
One night not so long ago, I found myself on a highway over-pass shooting long exposures of tail lights on cars. Not having done this before, I am extremely pleased with the results! And not so pleased with how bridges move lol!! I think NIGHTIMMING and hanging off bridges will be my new thing- I really love the the electric glow of lights shimmering.
Some were taken with infrared film. Not sure what I was expecting, but like them none-the-less. It's all for fun, I don't take anything too seriously. Well, except the processing. I am getting itchy and restless waiting days for things to be done.
My newest acquirement is a slide and negative scanner. Works like a charm. I think by the end of this month I'll be back to processing film in my bathroom again. Yes, yes, I know- what about supporting the Indy lab? Well they can still print things for me. Coming from a photo lab- I'm having trouble being reasonable about time frames and the quality of others. It's frustrating conveying how a photo is supposed to look to some one when you're not happy with their printing results. I don't like "touch ups", I don't like your opinion, I don't like what you think it "should" look like. I don't believe in Photo Shop- the photo is either taken well or it's not. If you have to edit your work to make it acceptable- you're not much of a photographer. Sorry 'bout it.
I'm going to contact my old friend S.W. who works for the old lab people still. She is a photographer if I ever met one, and one hell of a Lab Rat, too. I don't know why I haven't yet. I have some phone calls to make!! So anywho, photos of random fun with film are included!
