Random Stuff – Red Scale Film

in

While out photographing the landscapes and architecture in March, I took out with me some film stock I purchased from Harman Labs (the makers behind Ilford Black and white film) .They have just brought out a new colour film with a difference. Its a red-scale film That colours everything red (not surprisingly !!)

This was the first time I used it with some interesting results. It has made the pictures look as though they were taken at night and with a darkish glow to the skies. The film is also very grainy. Of all of the pictures, my favourites are of the Silver Birch trees and the hotel. To purchase or find out a bit more about this interesting film follow the link here to its page on Analogue Wonderland website.

Still Life Update

in ,

In the closing days of April we did a great shoot with the amazing Mercybongo who we last shot in December. She is so keen we had to get her back. She cut some tulips from her garden on the day and brought them along for the shoot. They were so joyous and bright that I had to take their pictures when we got home. So as a bonus I have captured them as a Still life set as well as the standard flowers update. Mercybongos pictures are still being edited as we speak, so should be available in Mays update.


Still Life / Fine Art Gallery - Update

I feel a bit of a cheat this month with the fine art pictures as they were actually taken a good seventeen years ago when I purchased the overpriced flowers from a now defunct flower shop in the city called Zinc. I was just experimenting taking fine art pictures, and after all this time I have finally found what to do with them and give them a home. I have made them look as thought they are made of latex, with the super saturated reds. Please enjoy.

Only two pictures for this month and they were taken in my kitchen using a Halo Lamp I purchased from Amazon in one case to produce the intense red colour. The flower is a tulip Amy had grown in the garden and had well past its sell by date, but still looked photogenic.
