The challenge of large format colour

[Richard Mahoney]

Apparently Richard Mahoney finds women and children to be nauseating. Guess that explains why he spends his time in the basement...

A somewhat odd if not perverse reading so just to clarify.

For: `... Despite the nauseating domesticity of it all I found the colours pleasing ...'

Read: `... Apologies for bothering any of you with one of my overly sentimental family snapshots but I found the colours pleasing ...'

You might like to note the tone of self-depreciation.



Best,

Richard

Well, not large format, but certainly overcast

For those of you with "grey days", use the technique that I have used for aerials over the decades. Shoot with tungsten balance chrome film, an 85B filter, after filter correction, under expose one stop, and push process one stop. You will be amazed at the color and contrast and may not notice the absence of shadows.
