This was taken on the first roll of film ever to go in my new(old) camera. Also one of the first I've printed myself. I would like to be able to do a second print but I dont have access to a darkroom anymore(I want my own but cant afford it!) What highlights are you talking about? Theres a second photo in my portfolio that goes with this but its just of the bottles and web. This was the only one form this angle because unfortunately I ran out of film.
I wanted the web and the bottle to be a pic sharper.
aperture was 5.6 and I think the shutter was 200 or 400
If you read this and have the time I would love to hear what you think about the other pic I mentioned. Thank you for the review
I like this photo. Without going all "Earth Day", I enjoy the hint of nature in all of this man-made refuse. The spider's-eye-view (perhaps I should say spider's-eyes-view) is nice.
I wish you had included a little more information, such as digital/film etc. I am going to assume that it's film, (hey, I shoot film so everybody must shoot film right?) You don't say if you did the printing, but I was wondering if you had tried a second print with the left side burned down a bit? I wouldn't darken the grey verticals on the other side of the vehicle, (which to me conveys even more junk surrounding this spider's world), but I was just thinking that the print might(?) look better without the highlights which in spots look a bit blown out.
Your comments on the selected image vs. other versions tried would be welcome. (Maybe I'm just missing my old darkroom...)
