Let the good times roll

Now, some new images get things swinging again especially when things have started to get a bit slow, repetitive or just plain boring. Starting to try and create planets was a challenge but had an exciting discovery. I managed to get the actual planet form and texture I was trying for which trust me was far more difficult than it sounds. Especially since for these I started using micro explosions again to expose the film under the plate. Which even when using a controlled point of “detonation” was still far from reliable as to what level/field of exposure you would achieve.

 Only down side is I am not convinced with the edges around the “planet” yet. In one sense it is almost like you are looking through a lens and in another I am back to my “shit it looks like a petri dish again”. I think I will stick with the looking through a lens thought though, it suites the concept and visual idea, and I really love all the textures and depth in these Images.
