Fun With Tungsten 1

Jnanian urged me to just go shoot the film I have. After all it's paid for. So.. I purposefully went out and had some fun with tungsten film to emphasize the blue in life.

Just because I can! (but I think this is cool none the less).

It may seem sort of obvious, but I see these and I think they would look great as Type-II Cyanotypes. If I had shot these images, that's definitely what I'd be doing with them.

What's the rest of the roll look like?

Well, my intention on these is to offer them as poster size prints on my website. I don't have any other plans with these specific shots because they would not work well for gum bichromate (which is my first choice for color printmaking for fine art). I have other color slides I'll do gum bichromates on when I get to that later this year. San Simeon is in my backyard basically. I'm constantly visiting this pier on my way up the Big Sur coast. I do like the severe wide angle of 25mm on 4x5. Happened to figure that out while having fun with tungsten. But I do plan to reshoot this pier on Ektachrome E100VS, possibly this next weekend if Carrizo Plain doesn't work out.

I have about 6 more shots of the pier on this series and some other shots further north at Piedras Blancas Motel another one of my photo-farms. I'll post one from Piedras Blancas Motel before I go to bed. Out of 12 shots taken I think 9 wound up pretty cool, or cool enough for me to pay to get them scanned. :smile:
 
..."rest of the roll"...:rolleyes:

Not sure how I missed the description that you did this on a 4x5. Glad they turned out well...
