Another Salvage Attempt

[Brian Moore]

This is Los Angeles Plaza Park, which is adjacent to Olvera Street.

Mamiya 7 and Kodak Portra 160 shot (stupidly) at 800 then cross-processed in Rodinal and manipulated with various sliders on Ps.

I can see a book of these at some point in the future. The image is wonderful, but just look at what it has done to the trees! Really wonderful

 

[Brian Moore]

Thank you very much, Lesley.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Yes, almost an IR look to the trees, very cool

 

[Kev Pugh]

Brian for me these have a very 1850's feel to them, dare I say very wet plate...ish. I like them

Interesting thought, Kev. Thank you for the comments.

The guy that the little kid is looking at, looks quite squiggly and somewhat odd - I like it!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Rob. This plaza plays host to traditional Mexican entertainment. The fellow you're referring to is a musician or dancer dressed up in the style of a pre-Columbian Mexican indian, with a feathered headdress and feathered costume. That's why he looks all squiggly and odd. Thanks again, Rob!

What a wonderful accident Brian. I just love those swirly areas.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I like that ... I did a roll of Portra 160 at 800 once ... it turned out rather nice!

Thanks, Hamish. On the Portra 160 at 800, did you push the development to compensate?

Well creative accidents sometimes bring something new and worthwhile. Nice pic Brian.

Thanks Julian. Much appreciated.
