That’s nice, Jason.

Well done - revives me from Antelope Canyon fatigue!

Thanks h2oman, I know what you mean!

Thanks Ben.

Here, I mix a bit of layers found in abstract styles and shapes/tones composition and general softness found in pictorial styles.

Aero Ektar and 4x5 FP4+ film in pyrocat hdc

[martiansea]

Greetings everyone, here's one of my abstracts:

I shot this on Kodak Ektar 100 color 4x5 with my Cambo SC, Schneider Symmar convertible 210mm f5.6 lens. I then scanned it with an Imacon Flextite and edited in Photoshop. The editing I did was to turn it into a tritone with different colors put into different tonal regions. This was then separated and printed on inkjet films, approximately 22x30" in size. These film separations were then used to make a polychrome gum print. The colors you see in the final print aren't necessarily what I was seeing in photoshop, since the colors of the gum depend on what pigments I put in them. So, what you're seeing is a multilayered gum print made of blue, yellow and orange layers. Each color has multiple layers and some heavy brushing was done on the final blue layer to get the interesting texture. The original colors of the film had no bearing on the final print; I could have just as easily done this with B&W film.
This is the first really large gum print that I did. It's on Arches Aquarelle, 22x30.
