Private

I really like this Mike, my kind of image. It makes me wonder what's behind the door.

Well, I'm onboard. I think it's gorgeous. It's so dry in Tonopah it was more trouble to try to keep things hydrated than Zia was worth. So I'm doing traditional Pt Pd.

Thanks Guys...Yeap Gay, I'm a real pushover for any door or window. Funny, Matt encouraged me to get a shot of what was behind the door, guess I really should have. The light in this old church is just wonderfull at times, if you catch the light right you better make the shot, because it does change (fast sometimes). Looked like it was used for storage, may have been a small office at one time. Lots of junk just piled in, and lots of cobwebs. Jim....have had my ups and downs with the Zia's, sometimes to dry, sometimes to humid (who would have thunk it). Love the tones from the Zia, but have not tried one of the DOP plt/pld. Next on the list. Did print this one as a VanDyke and it gives a whole different feel, it really POPs, even the wife liked it better (she prefers traditional silver prints - which is also on the list to do with this negative).

Nice print, Mike. The light is wonderful, and the door marked "private" left ajar is a nice touch as well- really makes you want to peek inside. It's interesting that the brush marks on the border have a definite warm cast, while the image itself looks quite neutral. Does the scan represent the tone accurately? All the best, Daniel

Thank You Daniel, to answer your question - Yes the print matches (as close I can get it) the print color, but you are correct the brush mark are much warmer. Can not get the print color, and the brush marks to match the actual print, one or the other is off when I try to adjust...so went with the image being closer.

mike, Im so glad to see it turned out so wonderfully. just plain love it and the brushmarks work real well for this. I need to get off my "working rear" and develope my film from sat.

I like the color of this....it looks like almost a violet blue.....like Jim I could never make zias work for me. Good job Mike.

Matt, the wife was out when I got home, so just started processing the negatives..if you like the Zia, you will love the VanDyke. Looking forward to seeing what you brought back from Sat...Lee and David TOO!! .................. Jorge, Thanks..for some reason the Zia's have started working again (time of year, temp, humidity) as you know I have a love/hate relationship with them. What keeps me coming back is all of the possible colors from the process, now if I could just good enough to enjoy them and not have one work and the next three look like crap

I like this, man. The light is great, and the composition works too. I'm not bothered by the door being cut off, but the bright brush mark kind of gets to me... The dark triangle on the lower left does too. Perhaps a burn on the lower right would answer that? I don't know, and maybe its not a problem to you. Anyway, I dig the assymetric composition created by the door frames. Take care, Andre.

Very interesting take on this! I love it that you & Matt 'saw' something different in this. With Matt's, you know it must be a church, but with your, I feel like Humphrey Bogart (Sam Spade)might be behind that door! Nice emotion!
