Love this.

Thanks Tim. Believe it or not, this wasn't staged. I pulled up in the driveway, got out of the car and saw my daughter drawing in the steamy bathroom. Two quick snaps and the hand disappeared.

I love the distortion in the finger and I really like the contrast in the image Austin Granger. I'm curious...what is she writing? lol and how did you meter the scene? Only asking because the light source isn't blown out but you still have good detail in the image. Curious to know if you metered off the window or wall/roof?

I'm not sure what she was writing; they're just doodles I think. As far as exposure goes, honestly I'm not sure. It was super quick. I used my GF670, loaded with Tri-X. I opened it up to f/5.6 or f/4 (can't remember) and let the camera pick the shutter speed, hoping for the best. When I scanned the neg, I scanned it very flat (as in low contrast) in order to keep the highlights under control, and then I bumped up the contrast and the brightness on just the windows and left the rest alone. I also cropped from the original 6x6 format to remove some distracting elements and because I thought the vertical orientation was more dramatic. That's about it really.

Enjoying a little color with the shapes. I saw a sort of pinball game composition on this ramp that goes under the road at the Storyland parking lot.

Another one of the carnival ride. The people on the far end are almost upside down. I was pointing the camera straight up to take the shot. Nearly everyone is looking at someone else to identify with in their moment

I wonder if in thirty or forty years people will still have shelves of books or if all their reading material will be on their phones, tablets, in the "cloud", etc. I can't imagine not having books around, but then again there was a time when I couldn't imagine not having vinyl records around, either.

I STILL can't imagine having vinyl records around. My collection is currently around 1600. Very nice shot, Jonathan.
