Captured on TriX 400 film on my Pentax 6x7 Medium Format Camera. I saw this as a very simple but strong image using with the concrete stair rail cutting through the image. I think the deteriorated condition made this image ideal for a film stock like TriX. I was able to reduce the gain a little by using Ilford Ifosol 3 developer instead of my typical developer, Rodinal.
I started my photography journey over 40 years by learning to shoot, develop and print analogue images. Much of my work today is still on film and I still get excited when I pull developed negatives out of the developing tank. I also short digital and I am known in the Bahamas for my Sports Photography although I am known for other genres as well. About 6 years ago I began to teach photography to pass on the knowledge I have gained over all the years I have been shooting. In preparing class notes I realised there are many aspects of photography I had taken as "natural", that is experience.
