I’ve been doing a lot of testing with the Diana camera- a 1960’s plastic camera. I think I’m finally getting things dialed in with the camera and the cross processing. It’s harder than it looks to shoot with a plastic camera! Here’s the latest…
Kentucky Barn Series
Here’s a series of three new prints from the Kentucky trip with the sandpaper and shoe polish post processing applied. Yup, that is literally sand paper etching and black shoe polish applied to the negatives before the scan. These will be printed and framed for the upcoming gallery exhibits this summer and at art fairs.
Spring Break
I discovered (completely by accident) that spring break is a great time to go photograph on the UW campus. It’s as quiet as a ghost town. Here are a few more shots with the Diana camera.
Cross processing revisited
Here’s a little more cross processing color slide film in color negative chemistry. (to intentionally get funky colors) I’m liking some of the colors I got this time! Most of these were shot on the new 35mm Taxona camera as well.
Scanography?
Talk about getting side tracked. I had the best intentions of getting more responsible things done today, but next thing I know it’s dinner time. I’ve been meaning to try this for a while and I guess today was the day. It got kind of addicting. And yeah, it’s that simple. You put something on the scanner and scan it. I love clean compositions and this delivers them…
New Toy!
How about a square format 35mm? Yes the Taxona is an East German camera made in the 1950’s and has a 24x24mm image size. Fun to shoot with a 35mm again and it’s nice to see the grain of 35mm Tri-X again. Here’s a few photos from the first test roll.
Nice to get out shooting again. It’s been too long.
