I have developed 4 rolls of film so far. All Tri-X in D76 1:1. The image above is the first frame from the first roll.
As you can see the tonality of the image is rather uneven. It could be either due to my agitation technique or the fact that the lighting was too harsh for ISO 400.
Imperfections that i have grew to like and learned to accept.
Last day in Cambodia.
Sunset over Phnom Penh viewed from the Mekong River.
Typical Tassie countryside.
I was rather lucky with this shot. As you can see, it was a very cloudy day. In fact it poured soon after.
As i was about to take the shot, the sun managed to peek out which allowed for a faster shutter speed and smaller sperture, thus underexposing the sky a little giving the clouds a more dramatic look. All in all, the transient ray of light gave the picture more contrast.
The image below was taken soon after the sun disappeared. It has a more atmospheric, ‘early morning’ look to it and lacks total contrast.
Which is better? I’ll leave it up to you. I think both has its place.
Personally, i have a slight preference for the 2nd picture.
Somehow the low contrast and muted colors gives me a sense of ease.
Look how the rows of tree are nicely lined in the distant. Makes the place look kinda neat.
Would be great if i can capture this from a bird’s eye view. One of these days……………
