Evolution of a shot-Taylor Hobson Projection lens(2 front groups)


     I haven't been able to let go of this lens, and will keep on using it for playing around different developers and papers.   This is a slightly different shot of a glass heart, and taken on Fuji instant film, which gives a monochrome look with this kind of subject matter.    Fuji FP-100C45 is dynamite in giving you either a preview of what you'll get w/other film or as the final medium for your image.

     I've started back dev my own film on a part time basis since I'll probably always have a sensitivity to most dev chemicals.   I've ended my Ansco 130 experiments when this developer started making me sick, and am trying to duplicate the look of this shot w/Xtol which doesn't seem to mess up my system.   The irony of using the FP-100C45 is that I find myself trying to duplicate the look I get w/the Fuji with whatever film I use as the final medium as opposed to when I used Polaroids which were never as good as the same shot taken w/a film like FP4.


    This lens configuration is the star of the show, and this shot indicates exactly what I was seeing through the viewfinder when I took this interation of this shot.
