Roll 19

I was done. I thought I was done. I honestly thought this was Roll 20. But it was actually...

ARTS 2110 - Roll 19 - Ilford HP5+
Notice that due to my haste and lack of sleep, this roll is even less evenly developed than others. The left and right sides of the frame are brighter because agitation pushes more developer past the top and bottom of the roll (which happen to be the left and right side of the frame on this camera), resulting in more density. The heavier the agitation (I think) the worse it is. I compensated for this a bit in Photoshop. With 35mm, the problem is much worse, exacerbated by sprocket holes, leaving halos or streaks along the perforations.

A hastily set up portrait of one of my friends who was in a rush (as was I) and no doubt made nervous by the tripod.

Cliché art student photo. Very textural.

Neat buildingless arch near the Dell.

I removed another version of this with the background creek in focus.

The same arch from behind ( or inside?)

There is some kind of secret code on that brick. I removed the alternate version of the shot. This version (and scan) ended up kind of flat, though it was a cloudy day.

I was aiming for 'Kubrick' but got 'boring' instead.

  1. I adore the Dell pond, especially the arch. Which you shot from the "outside" of the arch. If you look at the other end of the pond near the road you can see brick there from when the pond was a building. Beautiful pics!
