Ghostly Roses
Added 2024-01-17 00:34:03 +0000 UTCSo, here it is guys! There's honestly so much I could say about this set. Shot on my Pentax LX with a 43mm lens and Kodak Tri-Max 400 film. I shot the first two right out of the shower, with heavy steam. The third was shot an hour or two after when all the steam had evaporated. I actually thought that I had shot these in color and then when I saw them, remembered that for some reason, I wasn't able to get the proper exposure I needed with my Pentax K1000 which had the color film in it. I was honestly really disappointed at first. I was excited about the pop of color that the roses would add to the photo. I feel like they're a little lost in the b&w. But, I really do like how the blurriness caused my the steam paired with b&w film almost give it an old polaroid feel. I was also really stoked about the double exposure! I'm really trying to get more consistent with executing my ideas and double exposures are so tricky to nail. I love how my arms are raised and aligned with the roses, almost making the roses look they're replacing my arms. Kind of like rose wings? I was definitely going for a dream like vibe. Did I come close? I'd love to know your thoughts on this set! Which is your favorite pic and why? What kind of emotion, if any do these evoke in you?

2024-01-18 16:27:15 +0000 UTCReally cool seeing this set after you hinted at it a while back! The second one is definitely my favorite. The emotions I get from it are probably undecided or conflicted; kinda like something is bubbling under the surface waiting to be revealed. Lovely set!

2024-01-17 04:13:13 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this set. While I do think that a color version would have been just as amazing, there is something to the black and white. I love how mystical these are, it's like you're fading into the mist and eventually bursting out with your rose wings.
