I've been fiddling around with 35mm film a lot over the last year and liking the boundaries that a roll of 36 enforces. I've been thinking more about exactly what I am aiming to capture and what I want a shot to speak of. I've placed great emphasis on interacting effectively with natural light. I've always said to myself that i'd like to develop a grasp of the way light plays over objects. To me this is key to being able to produce work of interest. As this is my first post in a long time, I thought i'd just offer an insight into my favourite images from 2011. I plan to discuss some in detail in future posts.
It doesn't matter what the following were captured with as they are just to show where my head was during 2011. Although for those who care, either a Canon Ixus 300HS, Olympus PEN E-PL1, Holga 135BC or Canon 40D.
This is my favourite image from 2011. I'm mad for the picture postcard tone and almost oil painting reproduction.
Watch out for a future post regarding this mini-project. I loved trying to pin down what these trees meant to me. Shadows, creeping branches and uncertainty a-plenty.
Cross-processing test.
