Description
This is September Song's chimney.
I really need to replace it. I will in April when the marina sales are on. Held this up and photographed the neg against a bathroom light while the neg was wet. That's why it appears to have a gradient. The light is the darker bit in the centre.
Holga
Shanghai 120 @ 100
(If anyone has used this stuff. How the hell are you supposed to read grey numbers on a dark grey background through a red glass?
I just loaded my holga again, and turned it to exposure 3 before I saw anything. Had to rewind in pitch black, and load again.
Ilfosol 3 New and improved....apparently

Thanks, Mike. The neg just caught my eye with the water on, and I quite liked the gradient effect with the round bathroom light. All very cheap DIY photography.

really such an interesting image. I kept wondering what it was... and still do but in the best of ways.

Sorry about the last comment left for your arse image - I meant to say "grey lettering" and I went and said "red." What? Must not have been paying attention. A thousand apologies Sir

You never need apologise to me. I know your little foibles, and endearing they certainly are.

I photographed the neg while it was wet against a bright light. That's why it has the gradient. Thank you for the fave.

Welcome! Is that how you did it! Did you do it on purpose?

Yes. I shot about 4, but this worked best.

I would prefer it to work with my negs the same way, without using Photoshop.

I used to do a lot of darkroom work, and would much rather not use photoshop if I can help it.

I don't know how to work with Photoshop.
This summer I took the wedding photo's for my daughters best friend.
And we decided to make a scrapbook with the photo's in it! Was
so much fun to do, just scissers and glue and all kinds of other stuff.
I know it looks so much more professional to make a 'scrapbook'
with photoshop, but for me it was a much nicer job to do it
the oldfashioned way!

I completely agree. It is much more satisfying to do things hands on. I get a great buzz out of developing my films.

I only did 1 year in Kinder Garden, I preferred to learn to write and read when I was 5,
so maybe that the reason I still like to make things with my hands.

Ok, then.
An all-wet photograph to match the photog.

Interesting shot Nigel,took me a while to work out what it was, and I'm familiar to what a chimney looks like. It's sure in a sorry state,that cowl looks too low causing too much heat near the top there, btw, how many jubilee clips are holding that on? Chimneys not cheap either. Good luck.

It can't be any taller, Ian, or I wouldn't be able to go under bridges. there is a liner inside. I replaced the liner and the outer rotted. I need to buy a stainless steel one, but they are a fortune.

For lack of a better or more correct term, it appears to me that the 2nd stage ( the part in the center is there in a rather precarious ,position). Love the water drops on this too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was looking t it as I came out. It is waggling around in the wind. lol. The water drops are because I photographed the neg while it was still wet.

Thanks. It looks like I put a gradient on it, but it turned out like that cos I photographed it against my mum's bathroom light.

All combines to really cool effect - I's likin

Looks like somebody nibbled on the chimney...
I don't know, this whole self-developing thing in your case seems slightly suicidal to me?

I fitted a new liner to the chimney, then the outer rotted.......

Thermometers exploding? Suicidal!
I need hot chocolate now or I'll go suicidal!

And I thought I was bad... and I don't have a middle name...

Everyone should have a middle name. I'll give you one.... Colin.... How's that?

Colin was the boy from my English textbook in 5th grade. Hello, my name is Colin. This is Toby. He is a dog. No, how about Cruella...

All dogs in reading books should be called Spot. I thought it was the law.

The dog was called Toby and the cat was called Tibby. The father was Mr. Smith, the mother Mrs. Smith and the children were Linda and Colin.... And why do I remember that crap anyway?

The round dark area is actually the light in my mum's bathroom. Gave me an instant gradient. I will re shoot when it is dry, and perhaps see what it looks like with all the frame exposed right.
I broke my thermometer,(I was seeing how hot 102 degrees was to develop colour film, and got it wrong. The thermometer exploded.) so guessed the temperature of the developer. It was a little overexposed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's obviously not as hot as I thought. My thermometer goes to 110 and exploded before I could pull it out the water.

I think Numpty works best

Colour film is developed at very high temperatures. Apart from that it is very much like black and white.
