Another shoot with the infrared Nikon D100, and the strongest case yet of the blue hair effect. The camera is fitted with an internal infrared filter that isn’t 100% opaque to visible light, so although it’s now primarily a monochrome camera, occasionally a little colour creeps through. Usually it’s subtle, but this time it was a little more vivid.

Finished working through the digital images from Tuesday’s shoot with Lyn, and completed this one. It’s lit through the same piece of glass that was used in Oblique (nude) - always an interesting way to add some texture to the light.

Time to go and process the film now.

Lucent

I shot Lyn for the first time yesterday - mostly lightpainting, but also a little 5×4 work that’s destined for albumen printing when I can find a good quality paper that doesn’t react badly to the sensitiser.

Oblique (nude)

I think the switch on my faithful old Duracell torch may be failing, as the brightness seems to be somewhat variable these days. It’s not the batteries or the bulb, so I may, sadly, have to retire it and buy a new one. It did, however, manage to produce this image of Joanna with what little luminance it has left:

At a recent shoot with Sammie B I went back to basics a little and shot a plain lightpainted nude. I have some Polaroids from that shoot to that I really should scan at some point too.

I had a shoot with Kat Love at the end of January, and shot some art nude stuff onto very outdated Polaroid 579. The watercolour transfers are in the Polaroid Nudes gallery.
