The past week has been manic. I took 8 5×4 Portra 400 negatives into Metro Imaging a week ago Tuesday for drum scanning having failed to get the right colour reproduction on inkjet media at UCS. Whether this failure was due to me or the multiple layers of technology that these superb quality […]
Four weeks and counting
Four weeks from now the bulk of our Lux Locus Degree show should be built. We open for the VIP view on the evening of 5th June. The next VIP night is 12th June in Free Range, London. All in all, these shows, London being the most expensive, have set us back £11,000 but such […]
Quiet January – so far
Blogging has been low on my agenda these past 16 days. To be honest, I was utterly exhausted by the time Christmas arrived what with all the planned and unplanned events during December but also to do with a full on first semester of my final year at UCS. Something had to give and I […]
More edgelands photographs
My degree project continues. These are some more emerging content for my edit on being just outside or in-between AONBs The fly-tipping is an interesting one in that I was on the team that introduced Landfill Tax. My role as Business Analyst on that project saw beyond the revenue take and green aspirations at the […]
Swansong
Photographing on the edges for my degree project discovers hidden gems in this fine county of Suffolk. This picture just off the Strand outside the AONB by the width of a road was a surprise find.
Wrong side of the track 2………….
Today has been a whirlwind of a day. Truly and most utterly inclement weather this morning saw a delayed start to UCS work with renewing AOP membership, ordering even more film (where does it all go?) and then calling Sam Mellish of ‘Roadside Britain’ fame to ask if he could help out with our degree […]
Medium format Bronica SQAi
I do not use this camera as often as I should. The results in this post speak volumes for both Kodak Portra 400 and the stunningly sharp lenses. The 50mm wide angle is about as sharp as it gets. These two images shot on Portra 400 look so different to the large format images […]
Latest Large format landscape & portraits out of the can
The technician at UCS had a busy Wednesday last week whilst I was attending the Agile Business Conference in London. I had queued up 22 5×4 negatives plus countless rolls of 220, 120 and 35mm films over the last month and it has taken a weekend interspersed with research work to process them. Some of […]
Fujifilm Student Awards 2013
I’ve been very quiet for the last week on account of a very bad attack of influenza. I’m not back up to speed yet and have had to take the week off from University to recuperate. I’ve been catching up on new assignment work and have taken up the option to enter the Fujifilm Student […]
More test results from Portra 800 and Fuji GW670III
I’ve just had a roll back and scanned it on an an Epson V750 pro. These images taken in bright winter sunlight at either 1/250th to 1/500th second at F27. Other than some spot removal, a small crop here and there and sharpening nothing else has been done. Very intense colours, quite contrasty, just as […]
