Recently, I feel we have had a reasonable spring here in Christchurch, New Zealand. As usual, the blossom trees around the city play a great part in beautifying things up. This blossom season, I was armed and ready with a new, yet modified camera to try out and to capture my photographic abstraction work. Using some very expired Kodak 400 35mm film, I was able to achieve the following results:
-
- Victoria Grace Hunt, 2015. Blossoms #005
-
- Victoria Grace Hunt, 2015. Blossoms #009
-
- Victoria Grace Hunt, 2015. Blossoms #008
-
- Victoria Grace Hunt, 2015. Blossoms #013
In my opinion, each image is somewhat unique with good colour tones. I would be very keen to try out 200 ISO film, as it will reduce the grainy feel of the image when printing out large. Only using 1 film in this process during early October, I had no idea how things would work out using this new camera and taking into account 5-day film processing as well. Also, blossom season was very short this year due to the heat of the weather in the region (as the blooms opened up and fell from this blossom tree very quickly, within days, compared to the usual week or two it normally takes).
Anyhow with a head full of ideas for my next stages, I can’t wait to dabble in more abstraction photography soon.
Thanks for tuning in!
