‘Night Forest 1′ 8×10 Handcolored B&W photo — $25
Apr 22nd, 2008 by Bob
Hand-colored black and white photograph, 8 by 10 inches. No. 0201.
This is the first in a new series of black and white photographs I have been making of the forest at twilight and at night, lit primarily — or only — by the harsh light of an on-camera flash. While on-camera flash has been rightly derided as unflattering in a lot of situations, I like the stark, almost documentary look it brings to photos in the woods.
These were shot on Tri-X on a Pentax LX, with 28mm/2.8 lens and 280T flash.
The prints, on Luminos Charcoal paper, are lightly hand colored with acrylic paint and are signed and dated.
