Title: Here are some of mine from different things, mostly photography class.
Post by: alanp on September 15, 2009, 10:46:00 AM
Most of these are from photography class.  Some of these I was still learning the darkroom.  As you can tell, I use filters whenever I can.

Any guesses how I got the background to do that without digital editing?

Don't ask me how I got the light to do this.

My photography professor hated this.  His wife loved it.  All a matter of prospective.

Favorite swimming hole as a kid and still today.

This is my grandparents stone, I did this one for my aunt who wanted to see the flowers she sent. Photoshop effect.

Very cool stuff.  I would guess for the top picture with the odd background that you exposed the shot differently in the dark room, blocking out the shape of the girl.

Thanks Rick!

Rico very close....  While the picture was in the developer I tuned the light on for five seconds.  It was a back lit so I already had shot at a higher aperture than what it was metering at by 2 f-stops, so the background was already going to be blurred.  Then the overhead light scrambled the picture in the developer but the girl was so well in focus, she developed normally.

The tower, the lake and the trolly were all shot through a red filter on black and white film; like one of the third one of the girl was on color film.

The star trail was a 20-minute time laps shot on a tripod and flashed at the end.  Looks kind of like dusk because there was a street light across the road.  Then the head stone was a 2 layer photoshop effect top layer desaturated and I erased the flowers from the top layer.
