View fullsize A fairly clean print this #finalprintFriday. I think in the end some of my test prints did a better job of controlling the blown out neg on the left. It's possible i should have adjusted timings when switching to fibre, although my prints are normall
View fullsize This #workprintwednesday was largely about controlling the blown out area of the neg on the left. Having dialled in the crop and the contrast I experimented with various different burns to try and control the left and keep the exposure relatively eve
View fullsize Another trip to the #fifecoast with @hendersonspud this #sundayscanday. This time the #kawasaki takes centre stage. The clean lines and clear shapes of the #bike seemed like a good fit with the strong, early morning #eastneuk light. 100m from our old
View fullsize I quite like this for an #environmentalportrait this #finalprintfriday. The composition works much better in landscape, making it more of a portrait but keeping enough of the bike to bring that personality to the image. The burned in clouds lack a li
View fullsize As often seems to be the case with my portraits this #workprintwednesday was about the crop. I don't know if I just didn't account properly for discrepancies between what appears on the ground glass and the actual framing from the neg holder (I've ne
View fullsize Back in portrait land this #sundayscanday. Not very long ago we lived in the fishing village of #anstruther in #fife. Anstruther is a gorgeous wee town with sunny beaches and beautiful views out over the Firth of Fourth, but the thing that really mak
View fullsize This #finalprintfriday was a bit of a dark horse. When I saw the original, contrast+no contrast test prints I thought the image wasn't very strong. The image only began to come to life when I started playing with the split toning and burning in the v
View fullsize A couple of issues with the neg this #workprintwednesday. At the top something went wrong with either the developing or the drying of the neg. For some reason or another there are clear drips down the neg. Secondly, on the right the neg is very light
View fullsize A Sauda classic this #sundayscanday. As you follow the river North from Sauda you come to Buerdalen, a big open flood plain fed by a couple of rivers. Above the valley one of those rivers comes from a lake and floods over a cliff creating the waterf
View fullsize I enjoy my wee troll pals for this #finalprintfriday. I know my mother in law is fond of her neighbours so it is nice to capture them on film, especially in such moody conditions. I'm always looking for depth and contrast in an image and this composi
View fullsize A slightly different approach this #workprintwednesday. Normally I am all about that cloud detail. I often burn in the clouds at low contrast to bring as much detail as possible. Today I took a different tack. The image is all about the faces in the
View fullsize Something truly exotic this #sundayscanday, #trolls! These three venerable creatures look back down the valley in Sauda, welcoming folk to the mountains. I don't know when they were turned to stone but they have quite the head of tree hair so they're
