ShadowMask Part 2: Proof of concept 1
After cutting out the first gobo the plan was to test how well the overall concept worked in the studio environment using digital.

Conclusion:
The overall concept looks like it will work well with a little bit of tweaking especially with the light not associated with the gobo.
Still need to test using a “negative” gobo and then move onto a full scale test using large format film…
As I think about the overall project more and more I think it might end up being centered around “spirit animals” with each individual choosing which animal they most closely associate with.
More to come 🙂

Some shots from last week when I had a couple of sick children during school holidays and a kowhai tree outside my window.

Demi Half Frame Print
Finally got round to printing a shot from my old Canon Demi S (deceased)
With the 6×6 enlarger mask I made I can only print 3 frames at a time so I might have to experiment with a slightly larger mask and hope the enlarger handles it. Hopefully I can get up to 5 frames printed…

Darkroom Action
I have been teaching a spot of darkroom lately. Its nice to be back and playing with prints again.
Here go a few print that I used for example for the students…

After all the flooding a couple of weeks ago it is strange the things you find washed down streams…

Sometimes you just don’t have that much space to work with 🙂
I ended up shooting from across the hall…

Shooting From the Hip
I haven’t had much of a chance to go out shooting lately and to be perfectly honest I’m feeling a bit rusty.
Need to brush up on my distances by eye 🙂
