The Beauty Of Rubbish Goes Film!

[Paul Lange]

This was taken on either FP5 or HP4 120 roll film. Processed with ID-11 and then scanned. The camera was Fuji GS645S. I like the textures and compo but do miss the colours. I might hand tint this one.

wonderful comp., i love all of the layers. beautiful tones and textures. you'd expect photos of rubbish to be uglier..

I like it a lot Paul. The flow of my eye at first look was interesting. The length of the wall...down to the trash. I'm not sure that color would improve it...but would be very interested to see what you do.

Lovely Photo Paul. The layers rising to the bushes. This works yet can also see this toned and working well. The cracks on the right with the little plant decaying but upright on the left framing the cups
are significant for me.

How are you finding the camera in general Paul?
I like this

 

[Pete Askew]

Super stuff Paul and I like the slightly confusing scale (ether that or these are standard US cinema cups! ).

Smashing!!
This is great rubbish.

What a rubbish shot! And a very good one at that! The curved portion of the wall seems to add a lot to it for me. I'd like to see the hand tinted version too, Paul.

Thanks for the responses. I can't actually remeber taking the photo but I guess it was a small wall and a pair of large cups but probably not USA sized cups. When I was in Houston I would often get strange looks for only quarter filling the huge bucket that they call a cup in Popeyes Chicken. I really didn't see the need to drink around 2 litres of root beer and spend all night having to pee.

Hamish, I am starting to get to grips with the Fuji but it has taken a few rolls of film plus I dont use it that much. I do struggle with wide angle shots preffering 50 to 100mm focal lengths but I'm getting there.
