A recent project

Here is a recent project we did.4X5 neg. printed to 10 X10 on fiber (mounted and matted to 16X16). The subject is pieces of rusty tin found on a old homestead here in Iowa and shot in studio.Lots to this one so bare with me.

images with text- my wife (who is an author) typed them on her type writer leaving in the mistakes strategically.Shot the text page,used 2 different enlargers. 1st enlarger with the background,2nd enlarger with the text page. it was difficult to get the exposures right.

The image in the middle is a 4X5 neg.contact using a contact frame with light from a different neg at multiple positions,keeping in the neg edge in.

the other 2 images are using 2 different negs.shot at a slightly different angle,dodged and burned.

the images are meant to be viewed together in exact order. It was alot of fun but a little challenging. I think the text pulles it all together and worth a read.(pardon my quickly done digital copy I hate Photo shop,the 2 strait prints are lighter in real life)
Thanks for looking...S

Re: A recent project

Cool, self assigned projects are always fun. Did you try snadwiching the two negs (image and text) together and trying one exposure?

Re: A recent project

Yup,but the background image needed dodging.And the text image needed cropping.and the type paper added a 1/2 stop to the last whites with detail on the background.
