Fallen Flowers

For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of these flowers!  I know they are related to carnations, and the name will probably come to me after this is long posted.  So, senility is setting in and I am getting used to it.

The original may be seen below, taken with Dubble’s Bubble Gum film, and then converted to B&W.  I may end up buying another roll of it as the colors are really enjoyable.  I don’t know if they will be the same tints as here because they got a new manufacturer.

I just remembered the name of the flower!  Dianthus.  “Dalrymple” and “Dahlia” kept going through my head.  Isn’t funny how the mind works?  And Virginia Woolf is here, too, I guess.

So, fallen flowers – of the dianthus sort – accidentally chopped off when I was dead heading the front bed last week.

Sky, Trees, Water

This is a B&W version of a panorama I took with my 1937 Welta Weltur.  Two images sewn together in Photoshop, and then turned into black and white.  Old glass which is uncoated gives a characteristically different look to film, whether in color or black and white.  You can see the color version here.

Fat Tire

Over a year ago I won a couple of rolls of Dubble film, and it was shipped all the way from Spain.  I finally got around to using it.  This is a desaturated image – since this is a black and white year – but the color one is pretty cool, too.  A lot of oddly colored films don’t appeal to me, but I really liked the results I got from it.  When I post a desaturated image from that lot, I’ll include the original, too.  I clean things up in LR and such, getting rid of the specks and threads of processing, but for the color ones, that is all I will do.
