Divine Moments

[Paul Lange]

Just another idea for a project. When using BW film I tend to try to find high contrast scenes as I find the results have more depth. A few times I found places where there would be a beam of sunlight illuminating someone or something. The chair I feel is particularly apt as it is performing pew duty in a church and the light is right on the kneeling prayer position. In the window the light illuminates a plant pot and the little girl was right in the beam of light. The idea needs a bit more developing and it is a bit of a pain as summer is nearly over.

These are either 2 stops pushed Ilford Pan 200 or Delta 100 stand developed in ID-11 for 15 minutes.

Paul, this is a frigging masterclass! Beautiful. Every one a gem. While scrolling down, I thought they couldn't get any better, then I saw the girl - perfection. You've made my day.

 

[Paul Lange]

Oh man, Rob, you're too kind with your words. I'm going to put my RM T-shirt on right now.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Magnificent Paul, carrying on from your other thread. Something very different yet equal in its delight to view and enjoy. Each of these images although very different are each as strong within what they are. Not picking a favourite here that is a certainty.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yep yep yep...
Some of my faves of yours, wonderful! And I know exactly where your coming from with the light thing. I was thinking over this just the other day offer realising I'd taken three photos of windows from the inside of buildings pointing out and they were three of my most favourite images ...

You will spot them easy enough there ...

You have spurred me on to peruse the path!

 

[Paul Lange]

Thank you very much.

I had a look at the Tumblr Hamish, cool. I do remember the shots with the window light when you posted them on here.

Paul...All are just wonderful but I had a surprising...powerful...even emotional reaction to the first. Sometimes we sit in the light...sometimes the dark...but the light is always right in front of us.

superb image.

 

[Pete Askew]

What a great idea and these are really nice. I especially like the light below the plant pot. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

 

[Paul Lange]

Cheers Pete. I am travelling at the moment but hopefully I can move this forward a bit when I get back home.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

What?! Seriously blown away here Paul.. I echo all the above and more into words I haven't quite fathomed out yet... Speechless!!

 

[Tom Dunne]

A superb and varied threesome Paul and each one is so interesting. You achieved what you set out to do in brilliant style.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Been away travelling too Paul, but my good friends here told you for me and my friend Tom just said it. Wouldn't be me if I did not choose a favourite, the girl it is.

 

[Brian Moore]

Three stunners, Paul! I find #2 particularly appealing!

Uhhh,...RM T-shirt...? I want one @Rob MacKillop!

 

[Paul Lange]

Thank you all.
