Though this is a DIGITAL photography site, I am surprised that no one recognized what he was doing. This hand belongs to Mike one of the "lab rats" that I work with. We work in an industrial dark room. He is using a contact printer (like an enlarger) The negative is a round shot negative, which comes from a round shot camera. This camera was used by E.O.Goldbeck! We are called lab rats because we run around in a giant pitch black (no red light when printing because we develop color) building "squeaking" to avoid running into one another. The shot was taken with no tripod and no photoshop. This is good old fashioned shooting techniques using a new age camera. Im a bit disapointed with the scores, I was hoping people would realize the skill it takes to get a shot that used nothing but the safe light coming from a contact room and a camera.. but its a digital site, I guess I should have known lol. I do appreciate the MU comment.

| Intriguing with an enigmatic title. It's past my bedtime. I must be missing something. |

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: High in originality and it makes want to know more about the context of what I am seeing - some sort of print is being produced. I don't quite recognise it as a darkroom though.
Critical stuff: Not an easy image to engage with, though I'm sure it will appeal to some.
Overall: An interesting image (in a curiosity sense) but in the final analysis I don't think there is enough here to hang onto viewers for long. |

| Hmmm ... I am mystified by the title. Maybe I need to get out more. Like the red cast to the image, the tilt, ... the mystery. |
