Palmetto Trip, Hand Done
Self-PortraitThis is a differant negative than the one I first chose. It was a trade off, one shot is too bland and this one is too dark. I need to bring in a pro. The negative is just too thin.
Note to self: Try Dave's #5 filter idea set but then try other negative for more detail. I'm not convinced there is more detail to draw on at the bottom of the frame.

I like the second image, mainly for the crusty claustrophobic sense of things which is in keeping with the subject. Very nicely framed in fact. I like the thin negative vibe on certain images. The whole sign would have been giving us the whole rucksack full of shoes, the suggestion of the sign however, right on top of us, is teaching us how to squash bugs with those shoes.

This is probably my favorite of them all but it is a bit dark. If you have a really tricky negative have you tried using a higher filter or are you maxxed out on 5? If possible it needs to be a bit lighter. I do like how the private property sign dwarfs the house. Its kinda surreal and makes the house look like a toy to me.
