The University of Arizona mall with double exposure 'A'

Please visit my PBase site for more of my photos! http://www.pbase.com/the_microscope_tuell.

Obviously, the majority of this website is devoted to microscopy and macro photography, so this section is devoted to "regular" photos.


I have recently gone back to black and white film, with a small darkroom at home. The photo above uses multiple printing from two negatives, vignetting the "A" onto the main image of The University of Arizona mall. It is shot from the 8th floor patio of the College of Optical Sciences, looking west at 12:05 pm (according to the clock!). The "A" is from the north side of the Student Union Memorial Center.

Below shows a view of lunchtime outside the Student Union. I'm using Ilford variable contrast (VC) paper, and this image is one of the first that I actually used a filter with. It definitely helps to be able to control contrast to some level. That is in fact the same "A" on the wall as the first photo, but from a different perspective.

Obviously, since these are film photos, the enlargements are then scanned on a flatbed scanner in greyscale photo mode. The first is enlarged to 5x7 inches and the second is an 8x10 print.

Perhaps I am biased, but I think this photo turned out really well!


Another avenue for expression is manipulating images, either in the darkroom or with computer software such as Adobe Photoshop.
