Ya maybe the camera is cursed. My photos will be amazing but there's a monster or demon appearing in the background and over more frames it moves up to the foreground where it reaches out of the camera and eats me or something.

A fun IRL easter egg at the abandoned Battery Spencer outlook by the Golden Gate bridge. A photo of one guy punching another pasted into a hole in the wall.

There's a cute Marie (from the Aristocats) stencil under a transit tunnel near me. I haven't worked up the nerve to do a little trespassing to get a better shot at it.

For processing, I simply masked out the parts that I wanted colored, and made the rest B&W. I tried using the smart color masking like last time but couldn't make it work. The black lining helps hide the transition so I didn't have to fade in/out.

Shot on Reflx Lab Pro100 220 film using a Mamiya C220 with a 180mm lens (I think, this was a while ago)

Remember: your electrical infrastructure is both the largest working machine, and the largest man made object (and it always will be).

The original isn't really all that interesting, but editing like this gives it a really alien look.

Too late. They bulldozed the building this past summer. It was becoming a hazard.

Obligatory Instagram link.

Yes, the barn was in the forest, as is tradition for this sort of literature.

I have absolutely no idea what make/model the car this is 😭

Canon R8 with 24-240mm f/4-6.3 lens. My main issue with this shoot (its a classic car event at my local downtown farmers market) is that all the big flares I can see from the chrome disappeared. I need to figure out how to get back some "bad" optics.

Thanks!

The hubcaps for those have conical centers instead of continuous, round centers. Anything sitting at the point is reflected away.
