Breakfast
Several things occur after getting this roll back from Max Spielman's today.
1. Save money and develop and scan at home - they've miss-framed several of these, and I'll have to scan the myself. Anyways, the scans are poor quality, 5 to 700kb, which is no good when it's quite grainy film.
2. Get an eye-test. I know I need new glasses, but this proves it. The exposures I remember doing on f1.4 are all out of focus. I'll get the eye-test and have a word with the optician, see if I want a + or - diopter, and what number. Then I won't even need to use glasses.
3. Make notes. I thought I'd took some of these with the 28mm Vivatar, but maybe not, and I can't decide now... Also, it's clear from the exposures that I was bracketing to check out the light meter, but of course, without notes...
4. I'm working too hard. Shot one roll in the last 3 weeks, ffs. No bloody time.
I love the picture. The lighting effects and the tree in the background and the look of contemplation on the girls face.
ReplyDeleteStop working so hard! It's not worth it if it gets in the way of free-time pursuits.
I love this one too. I love the geometry of trees in winter. And of course my little girl is a great subject.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had an option on the working too hard situation.
