Flowers Anyone?

[Peter De Smidt]

That's really nice, Chris. Like David, I've planted sunflowers but have had no luck.

Such nice work on this thread.

My first two examples are on Ektar100 using a Linhof Color with a Symmar 135mm, using black seamless paper and north light coming through a side window. f/16 at 1/2 second.

These scans are from prints done on Kodak Endura N. The flowers were from City Market for $3.00.







And finally, one done on out-of-date NLP from 1992. f/11 at 1 second.

playing around. i had some issues. somewhere along my process i am touching the negs and leaving black wipe makes (look above the flower). i finally started using my fiber paper. my hot press died so i use dmy blotter book.....in the wrong manner. that is teh wavy lines you can see near the bottom of the picture. i think they will wash off. i washed them and re hung them.

so why do i bother posting such crap? i just thought some one may be interested in the SF differences.

Eddie - it's nice to see the relative effect of the Selenium Toning.

I have very little experience shooting flowers, but decided to look around my own back yard a little closer this week and came up with this:
