First test actual film photo from the large format. I'd hoped to have a more interesting photo but the tide was high and too rough to get to where I wanted with the intention of getting some halation effect on the film.
It's also the first lunch break I've been able to take in a long while, so it is what it is. Loving it so far and need to learn more, make some adjustments to the bellows frame as I accidentally knocked the front standard giving a little wierd dpeth of field when it should have been locked.
Oh, and developing. No more sloppy habits! clean fingers and clear dust before scanning in. 🤦
Nerdy stuff:

These photograms / organic stains were influenced by the escalating number of homeless people in Brighton. It's hard to engage with an individual if you have nothing to say so I looked at the ground, as many do, and found flowers and fauna penetrating the pavement crust. I found a glimmer of optimism there. Seemingly a very fragile life can grow and thrive in a hostile environment if given even a tiny amount of sunshine. I made photograms / organic stains using the plants by pressing them into large format film. After a week I’d shine a little blue light onto them before developing and scanning the negative.
