I'd seen some really great images during 'Roid Week 2010 on flickr made with Fade to Black film, and I felt that I should try it out before I lost the chance. Distressing to find out the very last of the film is being sold before you've had the chance to try it out {oh, wait, that happened to me with 600 film also}.
So, today, I managed to take some awful photos with PX100, a few terrible Spectra shots, then I had to pick myself up and decide whether or not to even try one more photo! I took a couple selfies {ok, I'm not even going to say "portrait" because they are also very bad}.
Poor tulips really should've been photographed... but here's what I came up with instead:
I love it. It's exactly what I was hoping for - ok, no, it's actually better. Of course, this is before peeling it, so who knows what it will look like when I'm finished. Fun!
No, I am not scanning the faded selfies. Unless I suddenly look gorgeous in faded form. Not going to happen. I am going to go hide all evidence of other photographs taken today.
I truly hope other people have frustrating moments when they want to throw out all recent photographs. It almost made me pull out the digital camera.
I have plenty of frustrating moments/days/weeks/months like that! Usually when I get close to the end of a big project, I want to throw everything out and start over.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this image you got! It is stunning! Love love love it! I'm excited to see what it looks like when you are finished peeling :)
This is an awesome photo! Keep it up.
