Fuji Acros 100
Look for the scene to fill the frame -- see how your limitations will define the impact to the viewer - and then make that just as important as what your displaying - ultimately. If you have unlimited power you have limited creativity.
Fujichrome Acros 100 - stand development @5% - developed and scanned in house.
This last September, on a trip to Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park I was able to grab this shot when we stopped for a quick viewing.
This image was captured really well -- and with film that is always a bit of a trick. And - if the image is captured well, there is no guarantee that the development will do it justice. The image capture, and home development, and scanning turned out just as envisioned. And this path - is the beauty of film, and the process of film, and the unexpected nature of film.
Rollei 6008i
I’ve been off the net for a while. Last weekend, always an emotional event (see my March 28th post, been there done that), and i picked up a new camera and that had my attention also.
Since shooting film I’ve been fascinated with going with a bigger negative. But - with that comes economies of scale and I haven’t wanted to quite approach that subject. Instead I decided to pursue staying with 120 - and that means going wider.
Enter the Holga Holgamod 612 Pan. Developed by Randy Smith of www.holgamods.com - he takes a HolgaPan and mounts a large format 90mm f6.8 lens and all you have a stunning capable panoramic camera shooting a 6cm x 12cm negative.
Here’s a test image - on Ilford HP5+ @f32 - and a video I put together of the camera.
