A couple of shots from the last few months. These are both pieces of 70s vintage artwork on my university campus, shot on Delta 100 and processed digitally in photoshop.

And, for those who are wondering, the left one is 'The Chicken', and the right one is 'The Zipper'

Ah, the memories of spinning the Zipper on the way to class....

Hi Rory,

The image of Old Faithful and Star Trails was taken back in 1992. The film was Kodak Ektachrome Plus Professional 100 (EPP) pushed 2 stops and push processed about 1 stop. The photo was taken between about 1:00 and 3:00 AM after the moonset (it was almost full). The photo was taken with a Linhof Super Technika IV with a Rodenstock f6.8 90mm Grandagon N MC at about f8. The shutter was opened as Old Faithful started to erupt the first time and closed after the 2nd. Two people wandered into the image at about 2:30 AM but, you could only see their cigarette butts in the image that were digitally removed. The image was cropped at the bottom because it was taken down a sidewalk with distracting lights. The distracting lights were cropped and removed.

Lighting for the image comes from the natural light of the stars and the artificial lights around Old Faithful, some of which run up into the trees. The lighting was a problem because of the mix of the artificial lights and the natural starlight. The north star (Polaris) does not have a perfect arc and a couple of star trail arcs appear to have a little "blip" in them. It is possible that the tripod was bumped in the 2 hours, but the affect is only seen in a couple of stars. This "problem" could have been corrected digitally but has been left as recorded on the film and adds some interest.

Gee.... I think I'll upsize all my 35mm scans and call them LF as well. I mean, they are 200 MB scans.....
