 First time shooting Ektachrome! From our unfinished hike to the Grisedale Tarn. 📷 Pentax 6x7 #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography #AnalogPhotography #MediumFormat #Cumbria #LakeDistrict #TheLakes 15 comments
 The photo is an unexpected, bold and disorienting mix of tension and calm. Should not the rocks roll down such a steep incline? Are we not winded by the mere sight of such a foreground? Yet it is only three slopes, untouched, empty, and forlorn. It calls us home, yet feels unknown, strange. Do we stop? Do we move on? This place is everywhere and nowhere, the place I hold dear and the place I dread...the place I long for and the place I wish to leave behind...  @Gargron It depends. One may also look at it as a geometrically designed depiction of absence. (Can relate, dragged analog equipment across mountainsides.)  @Gargron You would have really loved Kodachrome!  @Gargron maybe stupid question. If you love analog photos, how does digitizing them to share online affects the photo itself. Digitalization can introduce variants, depending on resolution, color correction, etc. It might be that what we see is not what you have and at that point, does it still make sense if we can’t see your photo in its own unicity? |

Of course I feel like the photo lacks a subject, but you don’t get a lot of choice after hiking up rocks for two hours with a 3kg camera and a tripod on your back, and a smaller camera swinging from your neck, standing on the only flat surface you can find.
