Topic: Turning contact sheets into an art form

Hopefully this isn't old news, but I was blown away at Martin Wilson's painstaking skill at creating an overall single image from a sequence of thought through frames on a roll of 35mm film. Genius.

Well, that's pushing it really to the limit!

All shot on chrome film too...

Clever stuff. Thanks for the pointer

[mickld]

The stories associated with each image are worth reading too.

Very clever!
And extra chops for doing it with chrome!

Dang! Love this one: http://www.martinwilson.net/Look_Both_Ways.html

I really do appreciate the skill in this- started doing something similar to this a couple of years ago on half frame, but failed becasue:

• I would forget where I was in the film
• I would see something cool, decide to take pictures of it, forgetting that would **** up the contacts

I gave up after films....

Same thing for me. You have to get a dedicated camera to be able to do it. You also have to take into account the direction of film travel. Not all cameras wind the film in the same direction (I have one or two that unspool the film from right to left as opposed to the classic left to right arrangement.
