Hi aerialview, welcome to ThePhotoForum.
Thanks for introducing yourself with a photo here. If you want to tell us more about yourself, there also is an Introduction Forum a bit further down .

So eggs was your subject?
Somehow I was expecting an aerial view ... can't quite nail, why .
Interesting lighting.
Any reason why there is no focus?

And CanonMan, I'm sure this was film, he/she says "printed on Ilford RC".
While I am clueless as to the meaning of the RC, printed suggests "paper" to me and Ilford is a brand name of black and white films and photo paper.

Neat shot aerialview ! And welcome. 8 )

Interesting shot. Welcome to the forum!!!!

 

[JonMikal]

pretty cool. i like the blown spots, shadows and the fact nothing's in focus works well here. i'll head to the refrig later and see what possibilities exist.

welcome to TPF!

I like it, too. The blurred focus allows it to be more about shape and shadow than about eggs, although it's still obvious that's what they are.

mmm, Tri-X.

RC = resin-coated paper (I remember the old days, back when I first took up photography, when there was almost a holy war between proponents and detractors of RC papers.)

And, yes, it was film. The "shot on tri-x" should have been a dead giveaway. Once again, maybe people don't remember this anymore, but Tri-X was (is?) Kodak's high-speed B&W film, and probably the most common stock for those wanting to shoot in B&W.

What I'm curious about is the pink cast to the shot, since Tri-X isn't color. Was it printed to color RC paper using filtration? Or was the cast added digitally after the image was scanned?

Very nice abstract style image that has good light/shadow play. Very nice.

I'm thinking...something from the future OR an unusual and unknown selection from the Chinese buffet.

My scanner automatically did that but i think it helps add to the old look of the photo.

ohhh yes, it's quite addicting!

scanners often put color casts on images. alot of flatbeds put warm casts on the images, so that may be how it ended up with a slight pinkish tone. I think it works well for the feel of the image too, though.
