final ranking contd

Interesting shots of the largely unoccupied gallery as viewed from about 10 feet of the ground looking towards the chapel direction. The curved ceiling and arches complement the straight vanishing lines into the distance and the strong vertical lines of the unmanned easels. Being asymmetrical wrt room where the near wall disappears into the distance at a grazing angle is a nice contrast to the gentle more expansive information from the far wall.

The above image used a convex paper bend to compress the image towards the centre. The next image shows the uncompressed image produced on a 'flat' paper surface. It still works well but maybe loses a little impact.

EXPLORATION with addition of other traits...other than photoshop originated...

1) Printing thru cling film. ie stretching a thin sheet of crumpled cling film on top of the paper such that the light from the pinhole passes through the cling film before striking the paper. This worked reasonably well on images with lots of intermittent tone in that the cling film has no effect on bright white or dark areas.....ie high contrast images show little effect.

Cling film has been placed over the paper on the left hand-side of the image. The resultant ghostly effect may be appropriate for some images in the future as it does work remarakably well with mid-tone areas.

Though somewhat underexposed the following image shows that distinct highlights....(very little light penetration) can be created using the random folds of the cling film.

Attempts were made to develop the image in small puddles of developer bubble sprayed onto the paper....
This effect can be seen , but is really not that interesting to these subjects and there is the distinct problem of not knowing where the image is to apply this technique to key areas. Could be done though if was deemed crucial....takes planning.

Psychaedelic bubble type effect seen in dark to some degree but easily visible in mid-tone areas.
