Just another couple of shots with my new mask in my back garden!!!! Enjoy.... (well, for those of you who like that sort of thing)
You know there are people who can help you I'd have def gone for a b&w with a dirty look to the image! Lighting is good though eh
I was really thinking about sticking it in b+w, but now that you've mentioned it, I'll have a go 2mora! And as for the help Hamish.... Well, you could always let me carry on for a but before you ring those people in white coats!! Please!! I've got so many ideas!!! Haha
Hmmm, now a strait jacket. That would be a great prop!! Great shots Dan but I agree with Hamish and grunged up B&W could be just the job. I really like this sort of image making. Luckily I have a fairly compliant model although I haven't tried to persuade her to wear a gas mask yet but we have made some interesting masks and I'm hoping to see what we can do with those over Easter. I was in Prague last week and saw a guy walking around wearing a plague mask for no apparent reason. Unfortunately he was in the wrong position to get a shot of - it wasn't you Dan was it by any chance?!!
this sort of mask pete? now that would be more up my street ... i could go down a whole road of Parke-Harrison inspired stuff with something like that
ooo check out Ralph Eugene Meatyard personally more up my street i think than gas masks ... but im more of a "fantasy fiction" than "science fiction" type of person i think
It was just an upper face plague mask but no goggles, but that one is much better. Where did you find the others?!!
Thought you might .... I have an idea for a photo ... I might have to rope in one of you two odd balls
Hi Dan, I had a play. I hope you don't mind. B&W (Tin-type / Delta 100) layer in Nik SilverFX Pro2 partially painted through with a 'stiff' brush. Pastel layer added to texture background then a mask to keep main subject area. Same for dust and scratches. Finally burnt in the areas between legs etc.
I LOVE IT!!!! great stuff pete!!! Better than what I was about to put on! I'll bare them tips in mind!! Of out tonight, with mask, torches, wire wool...... Who knows what's on the menu of results!!!
