well the title says it all… this time the background emulsion of this 15 year old film has gone all brown and green… no joke I can’t even imagine how stressed this film got while it rested in a big box of old negatives for decades waiting for me to get to it…. and coz it’s been so long since I even thought about it… I can’t remember which way up the moon was…. straight scan from the neg with a bit of resizing and that’s all folks

Loks like you’ve caught a meteor shower going on-fabtabulous!!
ha yes maybe that’s the thing… it’s meteor’s not moons…. it’s such a laugh… it’s actually quite tricky to get a good shot of the moon.. technically and all that… but you can download a perfect shot from all over the place for free in like about ten seconds…. so when I found these shots amoung my old negs… I was just so happy that they were ….crappy….. if you know what I mean…. they have their own uniqueness…. they really look like something I would shoot….. and they are real … no fiddling and no texture screens … just straight off the neg to RB…. love that…..:)
and if you ever need a really bad shot of the moon for something then just let me know and I’ll send you a high res copy……:)

Roy is right!!! meteors!!! i love this little series of grotty moons, lots of character! x
thanks Linda… funny how perfect can be dull sometimes… a bit of grot never hurt anyone… specially the moon…. it’s got it’s own vibe going on…..:)

yes it does! wonderful!
thanks darlin….. me and my grotty moons hey… I’ve been having so much fun with this lot of reserected negatives… worth the wait I reckon…. and hey what’s 15 years to achieve something special……:)

I think the years of resting in a drawer resulted in a wonderful image!
thanks Helen… and yes indeed… perfection can be dull sometimes… well that’s what I tell my self inorder to feel better about how much work I’ve got that is just really grotty… oh well…. not to worry… worse things to think about in the world today… two icons of my generation dead before there time… neither perfect and neither will be quickly forgotten either… vale and all that

You mooning us?
you bet honey child… the moon just brings out the beast in me…..:)

wow juilee.
this would also make a great texture or background for something else too.
love the colours and it looks even better with the black matt.
nice one. ;-) xox
hi aglaia and thanks… and yes I thought they would be nice for backgrounds to other more complex work…. funny little grotty moons that they are….. :)
– Juilee Pryor
Love the effect – you should leave it for another 15 years and see what happens :o)
oh ha ha yes Helene that’s most likely what will happen anyway… I"ve got boxes and boxes of negatives and all my dads stuff to sort through so it will most likely be 15 before I get back to them again….. cheers
