Bronica Film Roll 3

Continuing with the Bronica and High-ISO film vein of my project I took another roll of film. The results from this were much better than my previous roll, in which I only managed to take away 3 successful photographs, and I managed to successfully take a whole roll of film with near-correctly exposed images. Though some of the images were under-exposed this was in fact intentional, attempting to get some more softly-lit 'dim' images.

I felt that these images worked quite well because the tension in the body of the model helps to add a further texture to the already clearly apparent large grain. Again these images were taken with Ilford Delta 3200 film and processed in the darkroom.

Whilst I am more or less certain that my final images will now be Polaroids, albeit scanned in and blown up for final prints, I felt that using the Bronica was something which I particularly wanted to explore and experiment with. Though they have not yielded any final images they have taught me how to use this camera as well as how to use more basic Photoshop tools to improve the images, such as the Levels tool. I was also particularly pleased that the images had the kind of gritty, grainy texture which I had hoped they would, and which cannot easily be created in Photoshop, atleast, not as convincingly as a photograph taken on film.
