Artist's Comments

M-109A - self propelled canon.

Taken a few years ago during my reserve service. Wherever I went I had an Olympus XA in my pocket (35mm f-2.8 Zuicko lens, manual range-finder focusing, aperture control with shutter speed reading. made 1984).
The film I used was Fuji Neopan 400, developed in D-76.
Printed on Glossy paper, with the smoke and fireball burned in, to achieve some detail.
Full frame print on AGFA Brovira paper.
PS: brightness/contrast to match print.

Light and exposure:
The camera can wait 8" or until it receives enough light. I placed it on a stone and tripped the shutter. A full moon provided little fill light, and the shot itself the rest... Very lucky!

Entered in :icondskphotography:'s Night shot contest (won nothing...).

Entered in :iconcorres: B&W photography contest (deadline July 20th).

Entered in :iconsignmeupscotty:'s September speed contest (now voting)

Enjoy!

I love hearing about traditional photog. I would have been using Tri-x PAN 400, but D76 1:1 was a favorite.
Fabulous photography, though.

All of your pictures make me so jealous! Not only are the technical things like contrast amazing, it's also a picture of a tank firing! I don't think I've ever seen a tank in person, much less firing. Nice work.

Praise then darkness and creation unfinished.
