Pushed C&C

DaireQuinlan

Having by accident discovered the wonders of push-processing last week, I took the liberty of trapping my housemate in the kitchen until she agreed to stand underneath the (cunningly pre-arranged) halogen spots. I was trying to consistently re-create my previous mistake. So all the shots were underexposed by about 2 stops, and then pushed in development. The contrast is pretty striking , ordinarily there'd be enough light in the kitchen to illuminate everything. Pushing them I got almost completely transparent negs with small dense patches of highlight. Interesting experiment at the very least :-) These are pretty much straight off the negs, Just some cropping and sharpening required. And before anyone says they'd be better with some detail in the shadows, there IS no detail in the shadows !

I like the first one a lot.






Sad face :-(

Nice!! Will be trying that!! I wanted a self portrait for my 'about me' page on my site that didn't look like me, this may be the answer

Very, very nice work. For some reason your housemate looks like Jamie Bamber in that light.
