Tombstones

...and beyond, Luddenham.


Taken with Olympus XA-2 on Fuji Superia 100, and developed in Tetanal 2 bath kit: developer 3:15 mins and blix 4:00.
Pretty cool edit for a graveyard shot! Almost fake.

@mastermek what edit. It's film mister mek
February 19th, 2013  
I know sir! But you're the developer right? Isn't that 'editing' too? It's what I was refering to...
February 19th, 2013  
@mastermek not so much editing but processing. I understand what you mean though
February 19th, 2013  
That's the word. Very well processed Peter! With 'almost fake' I meant those awful HDR shots. But those are obviously more realistic than I could imagine.
February 19th, 2013  
@mastermek definitely not HDR, lol.
February 19th, 2013  
@mastermek lol, so in a way you're saying that it's ok to look almost fake and awful as long it is not caused by HDR software ? ;-) And I am definitely not saying this shot is awful, on the contrary I find it very cool and interesting and it is a great example that processing does not have to include any kind of software. Also would love to hear what SOOC purists would say about this :-D

Beautiful view!!!!!!!!

@janim Haha. Yes. That's what I said. But it's not exactly what I meant. Your recap is more like it :-) The processing did indeed remind me of all HDR's swirling around because the HDR filters produce a similar effect. Overloaded by the amount of unnatural looking landscapes and being 'digitalized' myself, I forgot about 'the real thing' and what can be achieved the analog way.

@janim This sooc purist likes it! I think it has beautiful color ! I may not be the purist I used to be! ;~}
