Still-Life Images, 2014

[Ramiro Elena]

Stone, the size of the film is 4x3 1/4. It is not panchromatic, blue sensitive I think. The lens is a Petzval design.
Very nice tones and focus Grzegorz
Christo, the one on the table is. The rest are lemons and mandarines. I couldn't remember what they're called.

Working my way from one idea to the next...start with something stupid and then keep improving it.

Ramiro and Grzegorz,

Very nice couple of images. Well done to both of you.

Thanks, had never head of it. So blue sensitive, must be lemons, likes would be brighter I think if it's blue sensitive right?

Thanks for the info.

Is the center brightness of the first image the lens? Or is it the sensitivity of the film? Or lighting change?

I really like that blue sensitive film, where do you find it? I'm going to google...

[Ramiro Elena]

I think it is more darkening of the edges due to the lens not covering. It could also be the compound shutter i used in front of the lens.

Ramiro,
I do prefer the second one. I have to say that the last still-life/household pictures that you posted are so very good.

Cheers,

Luc

PS: could you send us some blood oranges here in Canada. I missed so much oranges and mandarins from Spain...

[Ramiro Elena]

Thank's Luc, me too. The effect from the film is nice for certain images but you get tired of the funkiness after a few.

[jcoldslabs]

If you don't have anything red, orange or yellow in the photo there is no funkiness.

I was testing that same film with tungsten lights tonight. (It looks like EI 6 is about right.) Oddly, when the film was in the wash it exhibited what I can only describe as a wet plate effect. I saw something like this once when I grossly underexposed some Tech Pan, but it was not this pronounced. The first photo below shows the negative scanned, inverted and processed in Photoshop as usual, the second is a shot of the same sheet of film in the tray of water.

Toyo 45A, 210mm Sironar-N, Kodak Electron Image Film (SO-163).
