Critique Welcomed Handheld On Bulb

[Brian Moore]

I don't think I've posted this one before. (If I have @Pete Askew will know. But it's OK because Pete will undoubtedly comment on a feature or two of the photo that I have never noticed.)

Anyway, this is a picture from a couple of years ago of my younger daughter Meg along with Sadie. I took this image with a Holga 120N using Arista EDU 100 film that I processed in Rodinal. I accidentally shot the entire roll with the shutter on the "bulb" setting.

I remember that, and a discussion about the line. Worth seeing again, though!

It's the result that counts Brian and this is not without it's own beauty. It takes on a sort of arctic/snow complexion that is really nice. Lovely pose from both. Is that a horizontal scratch on the neg Brian? It does not damage the image though.
I'll be processing my first Holga 120 film soon. Just need to be a bit more confident about getting it out of the can and into the reel.

Brian, have you ever tried slide film in Caffenol? Some on Flickr discussions have it seems.

Thanks, Rob.

Thanks a lot, Tom.

The horizontal line was caused by a partical of debris on the scanner. It wasn't visible, being ever so tiny and stuck in a remote corner of the platten. But its effects were immense and it took me some time to find out what was causing the line. Perhaps it was a microscopic partical of toast crum.

As to the slide film,...no I have never processed E6 film in Caffenol. I have done E6 in Rodinal once, and it turned out OK. Don't see why E6 couldn't be cross-processed in Caffenol.

Thanks again, Tom.

It does have a Scott & the Antarctic feel about it as Tom mentioned - love Sadie's expression

I recall this shot (http://www.realphotographersforum.com/forum/threads/kinder-und-hund-im-schnee.16594/#post-124525) but I'm not sure about the one above. However, it is damn fine and the references to arctic explorers really add a nice twist.

Ah yes,...a shot from my Gerhard Richter period. This one then must be "Kinder Und Hund Im Schnee II". (And I still don't speak German!)

Thanks Pete. Much appreciated.
