I love how there are so many factors you can play with to alter the outcome when it comes to old school photography - just like I love the same when it comes to old school oil paints. For example I'm really fascinated by how Rembrandt experimented and created his own unique paint by adding sand and other materials to make the paint chunkier and "grungier" to get those really beautiful textured brushstrokes unique to his later art.

Sure, you can do anything in digital, but these old school techniques of various fields have some romantic beauty to them. Like making your own paint by grinding pigments with medium with a stone pestle instead of just buying it ready in a tube.

it looks like it's working...

V.

Was this with your new super speed graphic?

Yes, I also used an old barrel lens because I just wanted to see how it rendered on film.

It rendered pretty damn cool... very smooth grays.

That’s what Tri-X does so well. I over expose it by one stop and give it normal development. I think it’s really a 160/200 asa film.

Looks like time well spent to me.

Excellent work here!

Kitty is learning how to use the chemistry station! =^^=

She assures me that all those previous explosions were someone else’s fault.

Where is that cats PPE?! You shouldn't let the cat play with chemistry without a lab coat and gloves at least.

She's a zombie, she's already dead, besides degloving is a constant problem with zombies, very icky.

Was the degloving pun intended or no? He he he.

I figured you'd get it. :P

When this rona crap goes away I sooooo wanna do some fursuit photos!

Yeah, me too!

Trying out the new beastie? Looking mighty sharp.
I used to love shooting Tri-X back in my days of shooting film.

Yeah, have to give it a spin. Tri-X is great stuff, you can abuse the crap out of it and still get a pretty good image.
