Description
The River.
This image was produced using a technique that resulted from a collaboration between a friend and I while she was in school - I dug out the old camera and tried it again many years later and this was one result.
The technique involves winding *film* through an old SLR Canon while the aperture is open (locked on B), while panning the riverbank. We called them "stripshots." While the outcome is always unknown, you can get certain controls by altering winding and panning speeds and other things - the whole thing is tricky trial and error.
In this case, the ethereal feel it gives a rather mundane setting adds a mystery to the image.
I later used it as the cover for a "self-published" novel 'Fade to Light' that has never been sold or hardly seen by anyone!
