Monolithic

Nikon F2AS Nikkor 50mm f1.4 Kodak Gold 100 - An image from the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg VA, shot in the Autumn of 1992. I rediscovered this negative while testing a new film scanner. I like the sense of isolation the narrow depth of field creates.

Decay

Nikon F2AS Nikkor 50mm f1.4 Kodak Gold 100 - Some new archive mining inspired by a faster film scanner. This was shot in the Autumn of 1992 at the Lynchburg Old City Cemetery, one of my favorite shooting venues since my arrival in Lynchburg VA. I love this cemetery in Autumn. It is filled with healthy mature trees that provide amazing color. The contrast of the somber mood of the cemetery and the festive colors of the trees can be amazing.

Scanner Test - Kodak Pakon F135 Plus Scanner

Nikon F2AS Nikkor 50mm f1.4 Kodak Gold 100 -  I picked a roll shot years ago to test my Kodak Pakon F135 Plus scanner. I wanted a roll with strong colors and some challenging lighting to get a good feel for the scanners capabilities. Generally the scanner preformed very well. Scans had good sharpness and contrast, with accurate color reproduction. I saw minor issues with dominate color shifts toward cyan when image contain a lot of red, but this was easily corrected within the scanner software prior to exporting.

From the Archive - Film Reels 1987

Nikon F2AS Nikkor 50mm f1.4 Kodak Tri-X 400 HC-110 Dil. B - Shot in the Balcony projection booth of The New America Theatre sometime in 1987 another old negative that never made it to print. I always thought the series looked promising on the spread sheet. Shot with available light and I suspect the Tri-X was pushed to 800. I loved grainy, contrasty Black and White, back then, and I still do today. I used constant stirring agitation during development to get the most contrast I could.
