Part Two/Project 2: Lens Work Continued

It has been suggested to me by my tutor that I try using medium format film for my images.

I have recently obtained a medium format film camera and am exploring this medium. At present I have not got my darkroom back in service and have only just found a medium format enlarger, so my initial attempts have been processed and printed commercially.

In the shots I took with my first film have tried to emulate some aspects of the work of Fay Godwin. In particular I have used a  long exposure with a small aperture to maximise the depth of field. In this way the viewer is able to explore all the image. I have composed the images to emulate some of the images of Fay Godwin from “Remains of Elmet” and “Land”, such as this:

My own images were taken quickly on a short walk along lanes near to home.

Overall I think that my basic aim has  been achieved, there is a deep depth of field. I think there is scope for more work in the printing of these and that is my next step.
