Filling an Indian pot with water from the cart

Filling an Indian pot with water from the cart

Image by National Library of Scotland
Indian Army cavalrymen at water cart, France, during World War I. This image shows cavalrymen from the Indian Army getting water from a water cart. The men are wearing dark coloured turbans, most have short jackets but one man, possibly an officer, has a longer, almost knee-length coat.

The pot being used for the water is described in the caption as being Indian. It looks like one of their traditional copper jars.

The Sony Pictures water tower framed by the traffic signal across the street at the gas station. It was early, so the lights are still visible on the water tower.

green dreams #1 - symmetry

Image by mugley
After the horrendous bokeh abuse in the previous photo, it was time to attempt another clichéd Flickr party trick - cross processing. Have tried it a couple of times before, and have to say I'm not a fan. Seems to be a way to throw away perfectly usable image information and make a slide unprojectable, to get an effect that could be easily replicated on a computer (and is pretty grotesque anyway).

But what the heck, let's try it again anyway. Now, what to use? Had a look through the film shelf in the fridge... got a bunch of Precisa there... nah, been done a million times, plus I got a roll of it processed in the proper chemicals last week, and it's kind of nice. Kind of like Sensia 100, or maybe Astia. Good multi-purpose stuff.

So what to use instead... found some rolls of Velvia 100F, which I'm not much of a fan of either. Nasty blue cast, usually needs a warming filter in daylight. Seems like a weird second-option to non-F Velvia 100, or Provia. Might as well destroy a roll...

Had a look online at how the stuff cross processes - ugh. Horrible bright pinky-red rubbish. Totally at a loss as to why anyone would seek that look intentionally. Oh wait, lomography. Now, how would a photographer who actually thinks about photos deal with it? In the absence of a real thinking photographer, I decided to use a green filter on the lens to counteract the pink, and over-expose a stop just in case the green and pink neutralised each other and went black.

So this is how it turned out - it's still crappy colour-shifted xpro rubbish, but at least I scored some nice cloudage. And it's not pink.
