I spent most of last week at home shooting some more Fuji Reala films on the Fuji Rangefinder camera I have on loan from my tutor. I was looking to create some more finalised compositions, in response to the images I took over the Christmas period, and some of the large format images I took in semester one.
These are some new images I was trying out. I am still unsure as to wether or not I like them, but I have some more images planned in response to them, that I will take on my next trip home.
I have another film and prints coming up to Dundee this afternoon, so I'm looking forward to what goodies it might contain! After I have scanned and edited some of them, I am planning to get some sample images printed, to see how they are working as photographs on paper, rather than images on a backlit screen. I will be experimenting with different paper types, as well as different printing methods. I have a framing workshop next week, so I hope this will help me decide how I would like my images presented, scales, etc for my degree show.
I'm also considering hiring a Sigma DP2 Merrill camera for one week end to see how I like working with it, but I am still quite undecided about the whole going digital thing. After leaving college, I probably wont have much choice, as I wont have such flexible/ free access to a Flex tight scanner. The Sigma DP2 Merrill is a very, very slow camera, and so how it works in terms of speed, as well as the sensor technology within it mimics film and using a film camera. You can learn more about it
