Shot by the window with a lamp rather than on the lightbox – can still see the frames but maybe not terribly exciting. Still want to get the film next to flesh but it’s very tricky at this aperture and certainly with the macro doing it on my own. Tied the film round my ankles just to get an idea of the film and flesh together and quite like the result but will need to do many more. Just three shots here – maybe the first will do but will have a go again anyway. But I must give this lens back tomorrow – however, it may be more manageable with the 50. I like the tiny hairs I’ve not shaved here which match another shot of a blade I’ve settled on. This is probably more interesting than the film on its own below. And I prefer it to the earlier ones I shot before.
(Contact sheet – some enhanced in LR, some not)
Last night I photographed the blade – had to put it in this cheap crappy product box I had lying around but in the end, I liked it with all its little stray hairs from the cloth. Had two versions, one which I edited and PS’d and actually preferred the one that was more honest. I guess that’s what more relevant for this particular project too – because the cut is about what we choose to leave out and/or include.
The contact sheet is not even worth sharing – most of them are completely out of focus. Really struggled with this one.
And after using a cutout remnant from an old project, I photographed and scanned the following.
And just reminding myself of this one…. taken earlier this week on the lightbox.
