Keith Marshall's photos

Really annoyed about this one - couldn't quite get the angle to separate the bird's head from the far land line.. oh well. You get the idea, anyway. That's the Isle of Wight in the background and the water is the Solent.

Another batch from the archive - I didn't do much with these Cornish ones at the time, it seems.

I took my 100mm macro lens out along the River Stour today from Fordwich...

Fake infrared effect using Photoshop, on a tone-mapped image from Photomatix.. phew, too much processing!! Maybe I need to try Ilford SFX film.

This structure is stunning - a triple-spiral staircase 140ft high, running from the Western Heights down to the town. Well worth a visit - open the third sunday of every month. Three nested staircases allow troops to move more quickly from the top to the bottom than a single flight would. See the view from the top to get your head around the triple-spiral thing...

An appropriate picture to mark the start of my Ipernity journey after frustration with the "new" "shiny" Flickr.

I really must use that Yashica camera more - of all the random cameras I've acquired, it's the one that I get the best out of. This guy was fishing - no idea what he thought he'd catch in the canal. Redscale is a technique where you expose the film from the wrong side. These are all from a roll i took last year, I forgot to upload them!

These two shots, taken in opposite directions, show what different exposures do to redscaled film - the more you over-expose it the yellower it gets (like the other one which is into the sun) - but this one is more normally exposed and looks red. The artefact in the top right quadrant might be internal reflection in the camera, it's in a few shots on this roll. The anti-halation layer in film is designed to prevent these, but when you turn the film over for redscale I guess you lose the protection. [EDIT: I suspect this is where I must have creased the film, either when redscaling it, or when loading it onto the development reel] Redscale is a technique where you expose the film from the wrong side.

No-one likes this except me, but I love it, so it's here.. :)

See, I haven't forgotten I have a digital camera!

My first attempt at home-development of film, jumping in at the deep end with a C41 film (Ferrania 200) in Adox APH 09 (Rodinal). See here and here for more details and the recipe I used.

My first attempt at home-development of film, jumping in at the deep end with a C41 film (Ferrania 200) in Adox APH 09 (Rodinal). This one took a lot of work in PS removing a water streak.. I'm going to try re-washing some of these, actually, as there's a nasty streak running across several of the negatives in this batch, some of them look like good pictures. See here and here for more details and the recipe I used.
