Latest Efforts

[Helen Summers]

This picture of Glasson Dock appealed because an awful white dinghy with an orange tarpaulin that spoilt our colour shot had finally gone. Unfortunately, some clot has now left a caravan to spoil the shot. Sometimes you just can't win



Jodrell Bank telescope was proving an elusive target but was successfully captured, in spite of the telescope ducking and diving. The previous attempt that you can't see was ruined because it moved just as I was taking the shot.



Finally, here is a B&W version of Joanna's shot taken under the Victoria Baths. We are starting to experiment with N- and N+ development to improve the range of B&W negs; this shot had a range of 10 stops, so we dev'ed it at N-2 and it really made printing it a lot easier.

Some nice images. I like the shot from from the Victorian Baths. Pity I didn't find the entrance to that area on the first visit, I never made the second.

Have you tried increasing the dynamic range of the film by merging mutiple exposures? This is something I've still to try.

Steve,

Do you mean exposing one sheet for the highlights and one for the shadows and "bunging them together" (technical terminology) in Photoshop or is it something us wet workers can do?
