This picture was taken on camera that I used for the first time when taking it. It's a small black plastic compact, called a RAINBOW V. The reason I bought it, was because it has 22mm wide angle lens! The very basic lens seems to have quite a good overall sharpness, unlike my Holga’s which are rather softer at the edges.
It has the one fixed shutter of 1/125 and a fixed aperture of f11. The print was taken on ISO 400 Rollei RPX film and stand developed for an hour, with 6ml of Rodinal. The picture itself was taken at a gardening scheme where I volunteer when able, to fit around my Photography university course that I have recently started my second year of. During the winter months the sun is low in the sky quite early in the day. I was walking around the garden taking some pictures when I noticed some lovely lighting and shadows on the handmade fence. The fence was made for wildlife to live in, by some school children who come regularly to the garden for gardening classes. With a little cropping and then exposing for the highlights in general, I let the rest of the print do what it wanted to do. A little bit more burning in of the corners and the print was done. |
