<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 379416, member: 56&quot;]Back in the late ‘70s, a friend of mine was showing me color slides he had taken on a trip to Algonquin Park.&nbsp; Fresh back from the processor, he hadn’t even seen them yet and was entirely dismissive when this showed up – clearly a bad shot.&nbsp; But I liked it.&nbsp; So he had a print made.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was a big deal at the time.&nbsp; A professional processor photographed the slide to produce a medium format negative (called an internegative) from which the positive print was produced.</p><p><br /></p><p>I put it away, knew where it was, but it was put away for decades, packed in a box with my own photo negs in a cool dry place with no sunlight.&nbsp; Recently I disinterred the box and was shocked to see how it looked.&nbsp; Over the years it had turned red.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]130929[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately, thinking me crazy and having no interest in the photo himself, he had given me the whole caboodle – print, internegative, and slide.&nbsp; The internegative also looks very red, but the color on the slide looked good, so I took it into the library, where the necessary modern technology is available, and scanned the slide.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]130928[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I still think it’s a cool looking image, and I’m not entirely sure how he got the effect.&nbsp; It’s blurred, but not the way photos are usually blurred.&nbsp; It’s more like it”s fragmented, crumbled, shard-like.&nbsp; I think maybe camera motion with a very slow shutter speed, almost like a time-exposure.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]130930[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It might be an accidental image, but I do like the effect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
