Wow - I love the effect, it has a pointillism feel to it. I took a similar photo (small Prairie church, blue sky, puffy clouds) recently on not-as-expired-as-yours HIE (2007) - hopefully the base fog won't be too bad when I finally get a chance to develop it.
The most frustrating part about 'accidental' success is that is can never be repeated, identically.
This surely works well with trying to please the palate. When we have the temerity to deviate from literalness, we oftentimes unmask truth. - David Lyga
I agree with you, David... and even if I did try to replicate it, good luck to me because modern films just cannot be reticulated... at least not by me!
Indeed, this has LESS quantitative information than a normal print has. But, unlike a normal print, this image delves into a subjective aura. In that, I mean that it forces you to think because of the lack of literalness. So, maybe, in that restrictive sense, it has MORE information, overall. - David Lyga
