Still Life 2020

[DaveF]

Another still life argyrotype from me, this one using a double exposure technique for extra contextual oddity.



Exposures and development:

15th July 2020
Chamonix 810V, Rodenstock Apo-Sironar S 240mm f/5.6
Iflord FP4+ 8x10 @ 64
rear tilt forward. 460mm bellows extension
2x 5” f/32 exposures, 1st with carrots and 2nd without

Stearman SP810, Pyrocat HD 2:2:100, 8’05”, 22ºC, N-development
Shadows placed on ZIII, carrots at ZVI (though should probably have placed darks on ZII or metered slightly more accurately, since I'm a bit bright, though I've also lost a bit of surface in the centre in the first wash, so could possibly dry paper for a little longer before exposure)

Print:

Lovely, Yuriy--we would call those "yellow perch" I think here in the States, but in any case the photo seems to commemorate a very nice day afield.

Advertised as in 'excellent condition'. While true, it looks in good shape, but the shutter has problems and the camera needs repair. My luck.

Dreaming of the desert by Peter Brooks

5x4 TMY. Nikkor-M 300mm, 1sec at f64. Rodinal.

Struck me as ironic that these desert loving plants were gazing out over woods and fields.

Peter, I like the irony. Lighting works well.
