Weekend
[posted at 21:40 GMT]
After kind of disappointment with my eBay experience I though I will give a
little break to myself. After Saturday which I spend mostly with physical
work in a garden and printing two prints I sold, I start today fresh. I
scanned in high resolution Fuji Neopan 1600 which I exposed last week at my
work. I must say that Ilford DD-X in combination with Neopan 1600 giving
very low grain, but also low contrast. This is quite surprising but yes it
is like that. Interesting thing is that I have got much better results when
I measure once dark parts and set for whole roll same settings (it was 1/60
and f 4.0) that when I used matrix or average meter. The reason would be
that in low light conditions light is very contrast and spots of strong
light can totally confused even Nikon Matrix meter.
So back to the point. I have made quite a few prints, and because they
were rather boring I have start playing with mask, darkening and blurring.
As the prints goes I was getting stranger and quite more interesting
results. I was planning to published them, but not sure if I still have
energy. Let see...
