Critique Welcomed Fisheads, Pentax 6x7, and Kodak Ektar 100

[Rense Haveman]

Shot this summer, during my holidays in Norway. Had it developed (drug store, so don't ask how I did it...) only this week...

Very nice, Rense. Love the subdued colours, and the post on the right acting as frame. Nice dof too.

Perfectly summed up by Rob and I like it for all of the same reasons. The subject has the right sort of morbid fascination about it too. I understand the drying fish on the line in the background, but why the heads - are they trophies?!

All-in-all, wonderful stuff.

Excellent.

Wait,...a drug store developed your medium format film? May I ask how you did it?

I walked 2 minutes (it's just around the corner), put the film in a standard bag, and collected it after 3 days, paying 3,50 Euros for the slides and 2,95 Euros for the colour negative film.... Quite simple....

And thanks!

Rob and Pete, thank you for your kind words!

Those cod heads are shipped to Africa, I was told they were for soup making....
