So here’s number 4 in the series. This one is one of my favourites, I think just because the shades of blue. It might also be because it shows off that the lens on my film SLR is a lot nicer than the one on my dSLR. The photo was taken outside of a construction site along a main road.
I find this one particularly angsty, which is funny because a bright orange fluffy cat is not usually so dark and brooding (especially when laying in such a stupid position: if you look close, you’ll notice that his left leg is straight out behind him).
Here’s number 2 of the roll of film. Again I stress that none of theses have been photoshopped (they were scanned directly from the film). I just love how unpredictable cross-processing is. One of my friends said that it makes the photos look sort of angsty. I wonder if that’s why teenagers love it so much. I’m probably discrediting all of the angstyness right now, since I’m well out of my teenage years and just think it looks nifty. Lame.
So I finally got around to getting the film developed. It’s only been a week, but I am the most terribly impatient person when it comes to 1. getting film processed and 2. receiving things in the mail
I’m really happy how it turned out and I’ll be posting completely un-photoshopped scans of them throughout the next little while. I do remind everyone that these are snapshots, not necessarily super artistic. It was just Mike and I playing around and having fun. And boy did we have fun!
The photography section here now has lots of photography in it. Go check it out.
I stumbled across Oh So Beautiful Paper yesterday and I must say, I’m in love. Though it does make me feel inadequate in the way of designing cards and the likes.
Finally, as promised, one of my scanning electron micrographs. This one is of the ends of photoreceptors. Rods to be precise. You may all remember them as the light/dark photoreceptors, while cones are the colour/high acuity ones. The eye is organized is a very counterintuitive way, first the light passes through many layers of cells, then it hits the photoreceptors, then the signal travels back up through the layers of cells then out through the optic nerve.
