Thanks a lot, Gary.  That’s a horse carousel over there on the left.   Great for families with young kids on a nice day.

Yes, this subdued palette is very moody, and even though 2D, as Steve points out, has a dimensional aspect that controlling DOF offers. This same effect can be created using different images in a polyptych, some in focus and others out of focus, which gives the illusion of depth. Colors, as we know, create different responses, demonstrated in the work of many artists, namely those working mainly with color fields: Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Josef Albers are examples. Pairing up images with separate color fields is a way to add emotional tone to polyptychs. Ernst Haas and Saul Leiter used color and fragmentation in their photographs in a way that said much more than catching an identifiable image, which I find as a source of constant discovery. Saussure said that we know colors by what they are not; so, we learn that "red" (as a signifier) is red because it is not brown, or blue, or yellow, or whatever. Apply this in a way to images in context, and it's like editing scenes in cinema. Take a close shot of a young girl in a room, looking out a window, smiling; next, cut to a point-of-view shot through the window of a scene outside where a mother is playing with her four-year-old son who loses a helium filled balloon on a string that slips from his grasp. Imagine if we change that POV shot to two young boys beating up another boy. Two entirely different narratives determined by the cut, the context.

I am posting here two polyptychs, which have one shot in common, but different contexts. One is obviously a narrative, images I shot of Jimmy Carter running for president. The second polyptych juxtaposes simple shadows I shot last week with the same flower print skirt shot from 48 years ago, and I've added color fields for their metaphoric tone.

RGB (ECN-2) An Eastman Kodak motion picture film stock this company sold. Really not intended for still photography (but, hey, I was young).

Very interesting, Rog.  My okdest is headed to Emory (aka Jimmy Carter land) next year; I’ll have to show this to him 🙂

Thanks Adam, Mark and Steve,

I got this expired film from my father in law a long time ago. In August this year, I loaded my R6 with this film and I was very suprised when I saw the developed slides. It seems to me as a painted picture too. And I have to say, that I like the zone plate more than a pinhole. Here is another one with the zone plate on my R4 loaded with a TMAX400

Another excellent picture!

Did the zone plate come as part of the Skink pancake pro kit? I recently took delivery but have not used it yet. I should get my finger out!

Thank you Steve,

It's not the Skink pancake kit. I'm not sure, if this fits to a Leica R camera. I use this kit with a pinhole, a acrylic lens and the zone plate :
