Back To The Plastic
« on: June 13, 2008, 01:07:10 AM »
Starting to get back into the swing things as far as toycams are concerned. Here's the first decent scan from the 55,000 shots I took at Bedruthan Steps last month in Cornwall. Diana clone and TMAX400.

love it. Feels like he's walking down on to a lunar landscape, full of trepidation and thought.

Looks like alien floating globules on the right.
Is it any place near where The Prisoner was filmed?

I like it lots Ed - nice to see soem plastic from you.  These steps are a killer ... A few years ago I got my first asthma attack since I was 12 climbing them with my camera gear and tripod stick to my back. Worth the pain though.

The Prisoner was filmed in Portmeirion in North Wales - one of my favourite places, but quite a way from Cornwall.

Indeed. I had to climb it down and up this time with a full camera bag (albeit sans tripod) and with Joe in a rucksack on my back.

Looking through more of the test scans from this shoot. Three more look quite promising. BTW, the camera is one of those clones that it's physically impossible to focus with so nothing is ever particularly sharp (even for a Diana), but the additional blur was provided by Mother Nature who sent in a thick mist from the sea.

Well, well. Nice to see you dusted off the toys. These are nice and even have a Don Brice charm to them, if I may say that. Shoot more...

That one on the steps is just unreal. What an amazing quality it has, and it seems you've captured the decisive moment there... Love it.

these are wonderful. the softness gives them all a feeling of mystery to them. i think it's a sign you should take out your toys more often.
