Slow and rain by ingrid2101

Slow and rain

Taken a few weeks ago in the torrential rain - when we had flooding. I got utterly drenched and frozen, not to mention funny looks standing in the street with a tripod and camera when everyone was running for shelter. I wish I'd kept note of the exposure times. This is something I'd like to recreate - not necccessarily in the rain but with slow film and a model/friend standing still whilst there is movement all around. The blur on the left is someone walking away. you can just make out their ghostly image if you try really really hard. believe me I had to try really hard. Thankfully a short day at work and the weekend off to take photos - yeah.
FP4 film
Look like an old b&w movie, maybe in Germany... Great shot and love the ghost effect!

Superb, and love the blur, how did you protect your equipment in the rain? Fav.

@denidouble Thanks Deni, it's a fairly sturdy camera, nearly all mechanical so I'm just very careful(!) Only dropped it a few times :( but it's always been easily fixed. A bit like an old car - no fancy electronics

I love the grain and the moodiness, as well as the impression of motion. This could have been taken in the 1940s. Great stuff!
December 29th, 2013  
Fabulous Ingrid, love the blur and the composition. I believe it would have been excellent even without the blur too. Fav
