Just for fun:

I did this back in the '70s. An Ektchrome 35mm slide to Cibachrome print. Using Lithographic 11x14" sheet film and filters. Separating out B&W high contrast tonal values into several differing layers. This then was register contact printed onto Cibachrome paper (also 11x14") with different filter packs. To make, after many exposures, a "full color" print. 

What took me dozens of hours, and over $100.00 in materials (back in the '70s, mind you); I could do in about 1/2 Hr. with no material cost at all... And better!

Did I mention I love digital?  ;-)

  2. And for those curious: That is a Leica M5, with a 90mm Sumichron (f2.0) lens, a really cheap - Honeywell rechargeable strobe. And a "big button", chromed release accessory.  ;-)

  3. Well, This ol' dragon lady, is needing her 'beauty rest'. So I am going to try to turn in for the night. I may not be successful... So I could come back. But in any case, I shall see you all tomorrow (Tuesday) at least. Err, I hope.  ;-)

  4. Very cool! Would have looked very impressive on a large print!

  5. I just feel a little sorry for those who never had the Joy of doing the whole film imaging experience. For me it is always magic to see a print 'come to life' in the development tray. It's sensual, and visceral. An entire sensory experience, that has nothing to compare to in digital.  :--)
