    Film is Dead

    I've been holding out on this one for over a month.


    full size

    Please view the full sized copy as shrinking killed some detail

    *EDIT*There will likely be more to this as I have more ideas left to shoot.

    I included the camera information in the picture to answer that very question.

    But yes, Kodak BW400CN

    I concider my self a primarily film guy (link pulled) I wanted to do something with the film is dead Cliché and do it all on film. I decided to start with something along the lines an underhanded tactic was employed to assassinate film IE. the ninja assassin thus the kunai knife and throwing star as the weapons used.

    A strange twist of irony was brought to my attention after the fact, too. A roll of Fuji Color film dies and Kodak Black and white captures the image.

    Next time you have to take a picture of a DSLR smothering the film, as DSLRs are the assassins.
    KEEP THIS IN MIND IF I CRITIQUE YOUR PHOTO
    This was an open minded opinion and I tried to make it more meaningful than just tearing the photo apart. I simply highlight what I find to be a strength or a weakness that enhances or degrades the quality of an image. I want it to be clear that I respect your right to agree or disagree with my viewpoints, but hope that they may have given you some insight or further understanding when you compared and contrasted my views with your own.

    whatever gets the message across works, I think a 16 MB SD card would cost you pennies.

    I do have a 1Gb card at my disposal as long as I don't destroy it (it's the only one I got) I just have to come up with some other stuff.

    I can just imagine the conversation...

    BATTOU: I'd like to buy some film.
    STOREPERSON: What are you going to be using it for, because that will determine what brand and ISO you get.
    BATTOU: I want to kill it, please.

    I would not respond to something like that, I use the brand and ISO of my choice wich for the most part is Fuji 800, but I did get a funny look when I bought this in preparation for this.

    I can't wait to do more of these. Not all of them are going to be ruthless murders, but I do have a good pile of cruel and unusual ideas so...



    Any critical analysis?
