New on 500px : Stormy Seas, 4×5 Film by MarkHilliard by MarkHilliard

Nothing inspires me more than photographing old shrimp boats in film! This is a 4×5 film image with Kodak Tmax 100 Readyloads, taken on a Polaroid 900 converted to 4×5 with a Fujinon 150mm lens.

I shot at 64 iso and processed in Perceptual at 1:1.

The sky is plain, but that is how it goes sometimes. The important thing is the boat and don’t you think that the old boat is well matched to old film? The film is outdated by 15 years, a wabi/sabi item all on its own!

This was taken on Saturday, processed that night and scanned today on an Epson V850 using a wet mount system.

New on 500px : Berry Mill by MarkHilliard by MarkHilliard

This my friends is the Berry Mill, on the outskirts of Atlanta.

I just LOVE these mills and bridges and will drive hundreds of miles out of my way to visit one. There is something really special about them that gives me great peace when I am at one working it. I just cannot get enough and will re-visit them again and again! There is just something about art in decay that gets to me! This specific mill is not going to be here much longer. It is in an advanced state of decay and I feel that I have to visit it and photograph it as much as possible to share these wonders with everyone.
Recently I posted a image of this mill in 4×5 format, this post is a different visit but in 6×7.

This was taken on the Fuji 670 system at 6×7 using Tmax 100 film shot at 64 and processed with Perceptol at 1:1. I really like Perceptol when you drop the ISO of the film and get AMAZING sharpness and low grain. I scanned this on using a wet mount system on the Epson 850 at 6400 dpi. The wet mount is marginally messy but the mounting fluid evaporates very quickly and is dry by the time the scan is finished. I think I will be using the wet mount system from now on!
But more importantly to me is the fact that working in film with a decaying subject seems to mesh together nicely and poetically.
