this week in photo…

I brought my 35mm into the studio lighting room while I was doing my assignment this week and shot about a roll and a half of film I had lying around. My subjects were bell peppers, I’m generally interested in the forms but I was more interested in just getting started on ANYTHING. I’m not extremely enthused with my digital results because they’re all slighting underexposed but I have high hopes for the film because my perspective was a little different. The set up of the digital light studio makes it difficult to get very close to your subject while the camera is on the tripod but my own tripod allowed me to get my 35mm right up in there. My plans for the images are to put them through photoshop and print out some big negatives with the Agfa anyway so I can always adjust the contrast. My experience with printing cyanotypes from the Agfa negs is that I will need to adjust possibly more than just the contrast and exposure anyway. I don’t really know if these images will go far for me but at least I’m starting to work. Here are some of the digital shots…
