something something man ray
something something technicalities
proof of concept
featuring my hand seen thru my arsat n 50mm lens, "mounted" to the scanner via a toilet paper roll i've cut to about the flange focal distance of f mount (the focus was missed but for how small it is in frame it matters little)
and that finishes what we started back in october. there's various other photoshoots i've been avoiding touching but I think I'm ready to get em done now.
coming back to this shoot with a better idea of how to edit it
more year old photos
redgraph can really be foul huh
without a prominent red in the scene getting the balance right between the two shots is very vibes
what is a redgraph? it's one photo taken with a red filter, one with no filter, then the difference between the two becomes the green and blue layers and the red one is the red layer. then a little bit more editing and voila, it's horrifying! for extra fun i took a buncha redgraphs without a tripod so everything has that anaglyph 3d eyesore to it!
its like a trichrome without the tri part?? it's a less-involved and more loose version of a thing I did nearly a year ago: https://streak.club/p/56991/trichrome-by-999999999
image #3 with bouba has some masking stuff going on to bring out midgrey detail in the environment but still keep her fur contrasty black and white im proud of the result

@(: (i answered this in a dm, putting this here for anyone else reading) the lens was shot wide open @f/2 and i still had to shine a bright light on my hand to get it to show up so, at least in a dim-but-not-dark room, overexposure is not a worry
oh wow that's incredible, i can see the rayograph inspiration but this is so uniquely digital; i didn't expect this would work at all, scanning with an open lid.. i don't think i've ever seen it. how much did you have to close the lenses for this to work?
