Mother Natureby *justanothersomeone

Photography / Darkroom / Traditional / Traditional Processes

This image was a total accident and pleasant suprise. I spent about four and a half hours shooting a roll of film and due to deadlines I had to develop the film while running a very high fever. As a result I didn't notice that I had loaded the film crooked and I lost 90% of my photos. At first I was extremely upset and angry and almost just through the whole thing in the trash. Luckily I didn't and after a few days I came back to the negatives and decided to try and salvage something from it. This was the result. There was no cropping, burning, dodging, or other manipulations done.

Nikon fm10, Tmax400

Edit: My first DD

I want to thank RockstarVanity for selecting this photograph and giving it the opportunity to be seen across DA. I originally planned to comment and view each persons gallery who faved or commented the piece but that got overwhelming quite quickly. So I will say it here. Thank you to EVERYONE who commented or added this piece to their favorites. It truly means a lot to me.

Hello, petit-bonheurs here from Feedback Frenzy, at your service!

At first I thought this was intentional. I was shocked when I read what it really was! This turned out very, very cool. I love the soft edges, it reminds me of smoke photography. The trees are such a pretty subject, and the angle at which they were shot is such a nice one!

Vision: I can only give you 4 stars for this because this was not intentional, but for loving and posting it, I must give you props for recognizing this as something more than a mistake.

Originality: I can honestly say I have never ever seen anything like this in my entire life. For that, you get 5 full, well-deserved stars!

Technique: Again, because this was not an intentional technique, I can't give you full credit for coming up with it and deciding to use it. But the fact that it happened and that you used the photo is enough for me to love this!

Impact: I love this photo, and It's going to be hard to forget it. I don't think I ever could! It takes quite a bit for me to remember a photo for a long time, so I give you props for that!

All in all, what a wonderful photo you've posted! Sometimes accidents result in the coolest looking photos. Keep up the great work!

Heya from

!

I'm not going to lie, I was so confused by what I was looking at as a thumbnail and had to view it in full.
And I am so glad I did!

This piece left me breathless. The idea that there was no manipulation at all is fascinating and the more I look at this the more I wonder HOW it happened!

The contours of the piece almost reminds me of the human body, with the soft curves that pull out and the bits of soft light that suggest an almost roundness and three dimensional quality that baffles me (in a good way!)

The movement is soft and fluid, contrasted by the harsh edges of the trees and grass.

Perhaps the ONLY thing I would work fix would be adding in more contrast to the bottom portion and adding in more white (much like the very bottom, where there is stark white contrasted with a heavy black). Other then that, though, I LOVE this!!

Congrats!
