Two images taken from the same spot, albeit on different days. One with the Fuji X100T held at head height, the other with a MIA 612m pinhole at ankle height on a mini tripod. The treatments are different too, the first is “straight” whereas the second is more interpretive due to choice of camera, film stock, exposure choices and of course the development method prior to finishing in Snapseed.
I like both and looking at them reminds me just how broad my photographic interests and tastes are.
In the first I was tempted to clean up the tree branches encroaching from the top left but decided to leave it as-is simply because I wouldn’t be cloning out anything on the film image; as much as possible I restrict editing of film images to the types of effects I could produce in the traditional darkroom. This isn’t a dogmatic choice but an aesthetic one. I’ve already mentioned that scanning negatives is a pragmatic choice but just because I embrace the digital/analogue hybrid route there’s no reason not to stay as true as is practical to the traditional methods.
Just a quick post today. I shall post some more pinhole work soon I’m sure.
