handheld in dark environment therefore wide aperture and relatively low shutter speed (1/60?)
processed using ilford ddx for recommended time (on massive dev chart – 8 min at 24 degrees?)
not used to this camera, experiencing some light leak every time. probably due to not instant removal of film from back. still, despite the many obvious flaws i like the image. i have received some positive feedback from people in the real world, does the lack of response in the virtual mean that they were merely being polite?
Hi Isabella.
Personally, I like this (including the light leak). It reminds me of some VERY OLD photos that I had seen before. The subject matter may not be to everyone’s taste & may be a little gory, but I think it’s a cool shot. Strange that so many views went without comment (good or bad) though.
thanks miki, really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
ya, i like things to have that old look, though i would love to be able to choose about the light leak! happy accidents though in this case!
the head belongs to some friends of mine who work in the film industry, shot taken while farm sitting for a few days. he’s made of latex (some actors head double) the first time i saw him i could almost smell the stench of blood!
