Did some more Lumi prints today. Not photography as such but thought I would share them in here. They're for a university summer project I'm doing at the minute. We have to collect data from stuff we've done over the summer then display the results in some way. I'm looking at all the films I've watched over the past couple of months (there is a lot)...




The Exorcist / The Grey

The other 2 didn't come out too good. The paint roller I was used was shit and didn't spread the ink on evenly, there are loads of gaps and blotches in the other 2. Will probably re-do them. When these are dry I'm going to scan them in and then add some text over the top (just small, in top corner maybe) with information about the film etc. Eventually all the prints of different films will be made into a zine.

This looks awesome, can you only get one print each time? or would it be possible to do a couple of copies of an image at once?

well it does just one print at a time.. but you could use the negative over and over. The only thing is the shape of the ink would differ each time, unless you were neat and painted it on in a square for example. I might do that using masking tape.

If you were doing t-shirts or something though it might be cool that each one had the same design printed on but with a different outline to the ink. If that makes sense lol

I was thinking T-shirts yeah, uniformity isn't too important, just thinking it'd look cool.

I should've ironed them again, and I will do before I use them for my project, but I scanned them in now anyway because impatient. Look pretty cool and will look even better without all the creases:

They're awesome! Looks like Liam Neeson as well, which is cool.

This is cool. Kind of reminds me of Mac Adams.

That is very cool. I hadn't heard of Mac Adams before now. I will be checking it for sure. Cheers

YAY

Nice macro Dan!

I have been meaning to do a video showing how I process scanned film in lightroom to show how simple lightroom is. I fudged the video up a bit as I am not really used to taking and editing but hopefully you get the idea?

few from that roll





I may re-do the video and explain properly another time.

Cool video. I don't have Lightroom but it still made me scan in a few of my old negatives and play around with them in PS. In the past I've just scanned in the prints because its a little easier and with them being bigger dust is less of a problem etc. I'm gonna start scanning straight from the negatives though.

These are a couple I just scanned in. I kind of did what you did, adjust the light levels a little and tried to leave the rest as is:


A crop from a 35mm negative, not medium format.


Kind of like a film version of my previous shot... didn't even know I had this photo.

Glad you liked the video dan!

OK this may be the coolest thing I have ever seen!

Damn! That is amazing.

Also found this, and was a bit jealous of his lifestyle

Another Lumi print for my ongoing movie project.... This time it's Dustin Hoffmans face from the STRAW DOGS poster:



GREAT FILM. And I love that image.

I did this one as well but for some reason it came out really creased (they were both printed on the same piece of fabric that I ironed out):



Gonna do a re-iron and scan at some point.

Some digital images processed with vsco in lightroom






I just used Emma's little Samsung point and shoot with a vignette filter turned on. Then pushed the ilford hp5+ setting in vsco in lightroom.

I've been doing some self portraits inspired by the likes of francesca woodman

Third one down is awesome Hurb. They're all awesome like, but that one especially.

Thanks! they haven't got the most attention on flickr but I liked them.

They were taken with a yashica mat 124g as thats the only camera with a timer. It's quite the challenge to set up the shots so shits in focus and then get in position in time the one with the fire in front of my face was the worst!

Very cool. And nice tattoo!
