And the third one made with the same method. Trying to get this type of strong grain I took an expired film, widen the slit of the film drum a little bit with a screwdriver, drop it in very cold water for about an hour (expecting that perhaps some of the light sensitive combounds would be washed out), let it dry for some days, and use it for the shots with a push up to 600. Any comments would be very welcome.
I can only continue with such methods after this encouraging critique!
And thanks also for the link! Indeed pretty much the same attitude except the difference in light. The hard thing is to wait until the films expire but sometimes I have luck and can buy some limited stock of expired films for less money.
this is quite an amazing result that you have generated with that method Nick.
it reminds me much of those films of Bergman, which surrounding atmospheres hunt the characters throughout the film.
the dark part of the image, contrasting the other part where we see faded blue in the clouds passes onto some melancholic poetry!~
the water waves seem like silver razor blades that if one jumps in his skin might well get ripped off to the bones.
it is amazing.
cheers, v.
(p.s. at first i saw it, i thought it must be expired film. here is one picture i had taken with expired film, only that i had not pushed the aces and i had let the camera decide for the expo. http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1357382 )
Good silhouetting the interesting shape of this building, Nick! I like the reflections off the water too, to give the shot atmosphere. An interesting way of getting a grainy film, and very innovative! Dave.
