nah just this was a year or so old when i posted it, in 2004 i think,
I don't have a film camera, the one in question was borrowed and the atmospheric conditions were just perfect. and to add to things me and my roomie at the time also may have thrown the film into the freezer after, i can't remember. i know we did that to some.....that technique isn't an exact science and can have unpredictable results.
doing shots like this again, lest i use digital post work to achieve it, will be very difficult.
though if you insist I can try to find the shots from that night and search through the rejects to see if there is another notable piece..I don't think there is.
I don't really care if you like the newer stuff or not... I'm exploring, most of what I have ever done was for my own growth, not a strangers approval, But your interest and opinions are helpful and appreciated!

I never said I didn't like your new stuff haha. Thats awesome about putting it in the freezer and having unpredictable results. I don't think I follow you, is the reason why i haven't said anything else on your newer stuff.

Mikau-010 In reply to DOOMSTACHE [2009-05-22 07:04:59 +0000 UTC]

tripod, huge hill low light, fog, black and white film, talented assistant
manual adjustment of exposure and aperture, don't ask what settings though, too long ago.
I can try, i might just go digging through the old stuff though, see if i can't find anymore gems, are you saying you don't like the new stuff?

This piece is awesome, dude. I find it hard to believe there are other people who can catch my taste so perfectly. If i wasn't broke, I would buy this as a poster!

i dont know why this made me think of world war one.. it just has that feel of those old pictures with the colours and the graininess.
you could create a whole story around this picture..
very interesting.

thanks
i worked very hard to get it to look like an old photo
that wasn't planned out at all
like someone was just wandering with an old camera
late on the moors
and saw nights master standing there,
and such

laters

That's a really cool pic. I love how the face is just visible in the blurriness. Very lonely but happy to be alone kind of pic.
