Kodachrome Angel

My last roll of developed and telecined kodachrome arrived back last week. The footage is a mixture of short clips from 3 years ago. Here's an angel for valentines day. (this was shot at dusk so I'm assuming this has something to do with the purple tint)

Trees

Trees are my new fascination. At the moment whilst they are bare, their skeleton form, scale and presence slighly mesmerising. But not as truly amazing as this work by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

Super 8 processing in the UK

Scans of Pinhole Super 8

I've scanned and rather crudely stitched together in photoshop a length of super 8 which was exposed in my garden hose pinhole camera. It's difficult to recognise an image here apart from the blow up I've posted which is an imprint of the inside of the hose.

More pinhole experiments for S8

I'm continuing my experimentation with making a pinhole super 8 film, simultaneously exposing the whole length of film through multiple pinholes. I'm trying a different method which I'm very excited about as first tests are looking promising. I'm using the new Ektachrome 100D. Back in the studio tomorrow to do one more test and then I'm going to expose the whole 15m of film at once.

Hopefully I'll be posting the results next week.

Ektachrome 100D

Here's a charismatic fellow talking about the new Ektachrome 100D. Personally, I'm really sad about the loss of 64T and shall be buying as much as I can.
