Me too!
Me too!
Coming back around to this image, I shot this other sheet in DV:
This image is more sparse but I have a stronger feeling of "heat" from it. Though that may be my perception having been there as the temperature reached the mid 110s. But the angle of light as well as the stronger contrast (Efke 25) has kept me engaged with this image.
As an aside, while I was setting up this shot, a photographer with multiple cameras on their shoulders came up and asked me "where this picture is," showing me their cell phone with a shot of Badwater Basin with perfect hexagonal salt formations. As you can see in these images, the hexagons are buckled and breaking. I told her that we were at Badwater Basin but I didn't know why they were not like the typical pictures. I assumed it has to do with rain or lack of it, but I'll have to read a bit more about the basin and see if there is different explanations. Or maybe there is just a different location in the area that looks like that.
I find that second one interesting. The landscape and point of view made me think of some of the Venera pictures on Venus. Death Valley is quite a place.
What are the light streaks up at the top part of the image? Flare? Light leak?
Cool shot!
Possibly a little bit of flare. I also had this film in the car for over 3 weeks and I think the heat and such may have impacted it a little bit, at least the color film, which was already expired.
