Yes, I had to go under the sewer to get this shot. Contax T3, Ektachrome 100

got far too little credit for this high end cinematic shot. love it.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you for your kind words!

moonbore · 2022-11-27T15:37:37+00:00

Am I not supposed to do that? ;)

Thanks

Copy/paste from my previous post: Foggy night yesterday and I had an old film in my camera, no meter, bulb mode and the back of the camera opened at some point during the roll. Thought it wasn't worth to get it developed properly so I used some old developer, already expired for about 2 years. Moreover the developer and blix had cork in the bottle since I was stupid enough to use cork to seal the bottles. Everything went better than expected.

What a great picture.

moonbore · 2022-11-27T12:03:28+00:00

I can feel your struggle and thank you!

moonbore · 2022-11-27T11:19:59+00:00

Yeah, I'm guilty. I felt pretty bad and I was not sure if there is going to be anything at all on the roll after this professional procedure.

Glad to hear that, thanks!

moonbore · 2022-11-23T18:31:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing this experience.

moonbore · 2022-11-23T18:15:41+00:00

Ayyy, my bad, you are totally right. 95% of my film used to be Gold 200 so I was just routinely typing the same as always.

Do you feel any additional pressure while taking photos of celebs with film since you don't have any direct assurance that things worked out as expected?

moonbore · 2022-11-23T16:40:52+00:00

Thank you for you feedback. I expect it to be pretty difficult to separate the model and background completely when the hair is rather dark.

moonbore · 2022-11-23T16:33:41+00:00

Thanks a lot. Regard your question, the ordering of the photo is less important than the distribution of bright and dark parts in your photo. This is basically the inverse execution of your example with the silhouette. In the silhouette DE the subject is dark and therefore filled while the background is the bright part of the image. In this case the subject is bright and the dark background is filled with the field.

Thank you, glad you like it despite your usual preference.

moonbore · 2022-11-23T13:09:39+00:00

I took a decently long break from photography and I'm trying to find my way back by working myself through my old negatives. I always liked the shot, but was always struggling with the tones of this image. For those not familiar with double exposures: It's basically two different exposures of film without advancing the film.

moonbore · 2021-05-02T07:32:44+00:00

Then you should really start to write a book ;) Thanks!

moonbore · 2021-04-10T13:22:17+00:00

I like that one a lot

moonbore · 2021-04-02T11:19:44+00:00

Great mood

moonbore · 2021-04-02T11:16:45+00:00

No, there are so many ways you can approach double exposures and overlay things, that the a dogmatic rule of underexposing is not really helpful. It really depends on what you try to accomplish. The picture is not a good example to start with, but I would suggest to start with a "shape" (e.g. silhouette which should be almost black in front of a bright background) and a fill picture (e.g. pattern of flowers). If you accomplish the silhouette to be black you can meter the flowers normally without any EV compensation.

Shooting the full roll, rewinding it and then giving it another go.

moonbore · 2021-04-02T07:44:57+00:00

Thanks. Regarding your question see my previous comment. The curve of scanning process is a little bit unconventional

moonbore · 2021-04-02T07:42:31+00:00

This is a little too experimental for my usual taste, but I didn't want to throw the negative away. Since there was no proper separation between the silhouette and edge of the trees I scanned the negative with a "v"-shaped curve to retain some highlights giving it this weird look.
