Fantastic (but a bit scary too!).
Nice idea and shows you are thinking outside the box.
Must have been a bit of work to get those results.
very good Conor on theme, love the mono and colour texture mix you've got.
Doom and GloomBoom and Groom: well it raised a smile for the nerve of it Not the best you've done but kudos for bending the rules!
Communication : I love it! Perfect illustration of the theme and a great candid in its own right
Self : Bugger me thats good Almost Gilbert and George! I really like that - nicely done!
Wow - not scary, but extremely clever.
I look forward to hearing how you did it - but to set the ball rolling, did you 'flip' your eye? The catchlight postion is mirrored.

Communication is great, fab stuff!
Self - very good too, love the PP on this!
2 great shots imo and no shoehorn required
Very clever technique that Conor.. thanks for sharing.
Well you've certainly made up for "Boom & Groom" these last 2 weeks!
Your image for "self" is amazing! I absolutely love it
Very cleverly thought out and brilliantly executed. What more can I say?
Love it - very clever and artistic!
Ok, I actually have organised done, but I managed to capture it on film instead of digital
So you might have to wait until next week to see it! Depends when I get my film developed....
Watch this space
To my mind film = difficult! I'm looking forward to seeing how this one works out.
I'm intrigued.
Or Conor is just bluffing that his shot is organised already hmmm?

Me too... I'm intrigued.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. It's easy to forget that film doesn't equal instant photos. And it makes me realise that this challenge would have been impossible before digital.

Film is fascinating. Because "chimping" is not an option . You take a photo, and then it's like "... ok, I hope that worked!"
Well, it fits the theme! I'm not quite sure what you have done. We did our own processing for years but never 'achieved' anything quite like that... .
Keep practising though, and I'm sure you'll improve. I have no regrets about finally going digital but there is definitely something magical about the old wet darkroom.
I love your darkroom procedures - they sound suspiciously like the ones I used to use. But you're right - there's nothing quite like the thrill of taking the film from the dev tank and having a first look at what you've got ...
... and the pain of it when something goes wrong, or they're not what you'd hoped for!
So bang on theme, full marks - I hope the rest of the film came out well. #2 looks pretty good to me.
Jean
Wow !
It must be great to be able to watch your pictures slowly appearing like that. Your process sounds complicated, but fun - I don't think I could wait for Jessops either :bang:
Shame about the first one, and I definitely feel your pain - so bang on theme. No.2's looking good though, and I can't wait to see the others.
Thanks! It's quite an magical and exciting process alright! Really get a massive sense of achievement when you see your work hanging to dry. I achieved the above effect using a very new cutting edge technique I like to call the "dropping on a carpet" technique
