scapa paper

I think I may have to try fogging the paper before shooting as there seems to be a really high contrast. I have been reading up on this and paper reacts differently to light than film. Another contact print. The area of sand has almost blown out. Off to the college as the exhibition ends today so we have to collect all our work. Sad as this is my very very last contact with the place... for the time being.
Thank you so much for all the lovely comments and favs on the pier from yesterday. I am a day behind but off this weekend so hopefully get some film finished and developed.
This is wonderful Ingrid. So moody, pull of grain and texture and depth. Big Fav, and sorry for the lack of comments on your project recently, off the scale busy this end!

@ingrid2101 Thanks Ingrid. I am going to have a good look back through what I have missed in your project later today hopefully. A mountain of emails to send to my chinese factories this afternoon, then kettle on, 365 open.....

Fav straight away. Ingrid, you and your works are just going from good to better to brilliant.

Makes me think of torrnados and the Midwest US. Evocative.

Fav again for me. Love these shots on paper. Just going to ask the stupid question that has been going round my head re paper. Is this a special camera that takes photographic paper instead of film? Or if not how do you do this? By the way I like the high contrast but I can appreciate it's frustrating if you are getting parts blown out that you don't want to be.

@rachelwithey Thanks Rachel :) it's an old camera, 1930's - it was designed to take sheet film but after seeing work on Flickr i thought i'd try paper instead. It has a dark slide at the back to load the paper into. So only one shot at a time. It's frustrating yet oddly rewarding! I take a changing bag out with me so i can load more paper but doing it blind gets tricky!

Thanks Ingrid. Appreciate you explaining. Like the sound of a 1930s camera.

I love this effect - it looks like you've found an old print - the contrast increases that impression. Very atmospheric

I think contrast or not its awesome!! Looks stormy. Got to be another Fav :)

I really like it, but then I do like a bit of contrast

This is severely beautiful. I'm not much for landscaped but this series constantly awes me.

This is so unrealistic and moody in a good way.

I have a sense of seeing this scene through the eye of someone or something. It could almost be winter, with blowing snow. Such a bleak and barren feeling. Love it.

Great effect Ingrid : )

love this Ingrid - the lights - the darks - the little house in the middle - and the lovely wiggly line given along the top of the dunes (?)

I love this photograph, it's darks and lights, it's foggy look, the loneliness of the building swallowed up by earth and fog. Fave.

a lovely shot, the process has added an air of mystery to it.

It look like an old photo that just been bought in a garage sale! Magnifique!
