Color Film - Portfolio 1
During the 90’s and the better part of the early 2000’s, during spring,
and autumn, at least once a week, I would try to get out to a hiking
trail, to take landscape photos. Often, my Dad would be
able to accompany me during these outings. We would spend the
better part of a day hiking trails, I would use color slide film, and
‘ push process ’ it for a grainy effect - the exact polar opposite
of Ansel Adams and the ‘ F64 Club ’. Shooting sparingly, making
sure I really, really liked a composition, before shooting only a
few frames, bracketing the exposures, was a great training, in the
art of seeing, and shooting. Fast forward to the present, and this method
of ‘ real time editing ’, has continued to pay dividends. Those who
never learned the art and craft of photography in the film era, now
tend to think a successful shoot is when they can fill a 3 or 4
gigabyte data card. All that gets them, is a two week long process
of editing through a lot of repetitive imagery.
