An extreme push for a real pointilistic look coupled with a diagonal perspective and motion blur of the people over there. I used ISO 200 film, set the T90 to ISO 100, and instructed the man to do the process pushing it up all the way to 800. It is amazing to me what can be achieved without any kind of additional equipment - camera/lens is enough. And if the result is not only experimental but also something that one can like, then even better. Now I am thinking about a series of such images, perhaps with less motion blur of the people. So, any comments would be very very welcome.
Hi Frabrice and thanks a lot for the nice and detailed comment, and even more for the suggestions!
I can see that using such a technique that produces an "outdated mood" together with the more modern perspective is a bit too much. I'll have to use the extreme push with or without motion blur alone, and see what happens. Unfortunately for this one, straghtening and cropping it isn't of great use because too much of the scene has to be cropped off then. :-(
Still I am curious to follow this "unorthodox marriage" exactly because it is unorthodox. It's like daring ask what might a pointillist do today in addition? More curiosity than anything else, that is. Maybe I won't find anything but who knows?
My dear Nick.. This is a nice idea to test and search some process as well as capture parameters to create and propose artistic composition. In this one, I like the pointillistic approach that gives to the composition an outdated mood if one takes into account the colors and the location where the shot has been made and also the well seen and done blurry effect. So I have just one regret Nick, the diagonal perspective chosen which is for me too far from a classical shot (even if we have sometimes to break the rules ;)). This is a nice idea, and finally a goo work too Nick. Compliments
