jeff.grant 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Mike, this is excellent as usual. How did you get the colour palette? It adds another dimension to the minimalist whole. Link to comment
mikestacey 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks Rob, Jeff.Jeff, nothing fancy, just a desaturated scan with some cyan thrown in. The scan was almost monotone anyway due to the very long exposure and was easy to get to this result. Link to comment
alberta_pizzolato 21 Posted April 14, 2011 Gorgeous shot, Mike. I can't believe all the work that goes into making one of your photos - film camera, metering, scanning, tweaking. It must take forever and cost a bunch but the outcome is superb.Cheers ~Alberta Link to comment
vbirke 0 Posted April 15, 2011 First, I thought it is slightly askew, but was wrong.Exceptional work. Great compo and editing. Like the cross processing effects a lot. Bravo. However - as to be expected - such a great work does not get an overall 6 here...BR / Volker Link to comment
mikestacey 0 Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks Alberta, Volker, Deborah.I can't imagine doing it any other way Alberta. I'm similarly fascinated with the way many photographers now shoot 100s of images so quickly in the hope of retrieving something of substance. Personally, I need to take the time; and I liken it to painting of some other form of manual art which is rarely produced in a hurry. All the steps in the process from scoping, metering shooting, film processing, scanning, post processing and printing are each as important as each other. All those steps have to be perfected and joined seamlessly to obtain something of substance at the end. The cost is not bad at all when you don't shoot many frames. End of rant!No cross process here Volker, just hand processed C41. And yeah, the vision of PN raters is quite limited. Thanks. Link to comment
bobby_ho 0 Posted April 18, 2011 This is a very beautiful long exposure black and white image! The composition is very simple, I like the converging and parallel lines. The two birds also provide dynamic and life to this photo. Well done and thank you for sharing. Link to comment
