| About |
I was running a test roll of Tri-X through my son's new Olympus Stylus Epic, and while I had the camera on a tripod down in my dad's studio to test the self-timer, I decided to see how the camera would do in natural light without the flash. So, without really trying to create any particular image, I turned on the bank of WWII-surplus flourescent lights at the far left and shot. What I got was a shadowy elegy of old photo equipment - that's a 1930s theatrical spotlight, a late-40s Graphic View II 4x5, a couple of good old photofloods, a dry mounting press, a GraLab darkroom timer, the classic tabletop white seamless setup... And that's the way my dad's studio looks most of the time now: quiet and dark, essentially just a collection of formerly state-of-the-art relics.
(I'm guessing that the automatic exposure used was around 1/8 at f/4. Developed in D-76 1:1 and printed on an Omega D-3v. Scanned at 150dpi from a bordered 5x7 inch print with slight sharpening and contrast adjustments, plus minor digital retouching to clean up some scanner-surface dust.)
