Going My Way?

Uploaded: March 08, 2005

Description

aperture f5.6, shutter 1/30; I saw this young man motioning for everyone to come see this amazing artwork. He looked like he was going into a tunnel of chickens. I used BW film, printed on matte paper(darkroom) and hand colored the young man.

Incredible illusion. He does look like he is starting a tour of a huge chicken coop. Excellent work, Vicki!! #222626

Hi,

I'd just like to know if you used photoshop to get this effect, or if you did it by hand?

Thanks :) #1223189

Fascinating image, Vicki. Congrats on your POTD. I, too, would like to know more about how it was edited. #1223203

Vicki Hunt April 02, 2005 0

This is a simple BW film image, printed in the darkroom, and the young man, my son, is hand colored with photo oils...this is an old technique used before color film hit the scene...I taught classes in this for awhile. I am afraid it is becoming a lost art with the digital revolution! #1223209

Vicki Hunt April 02, 2005 0

Oh my goodness! I just figured out why you all have visited my photo! I kept wondering...what is POTD....Thank you so much BP for this honor! I have to be out of town for the weekend, so wanted to say how much I appreciate this! vicki #1223241

I'm very interested in hand-colouring techniques, I'm studying first year at Pretoria (South Africa) technikon and all I do is b&w so colour is very appealing at the moment. #1223246

I am overwhelmed with your generosity of wonderful comments. Shirley, I shot this, then contacted the artist whose work we are admiring in the photo behind my son...I asked for permission to enter this photo in some Atlanta "things"...his reply was "Go for it"...I told him if it did well we would recognize him as well...I will get more info for you all about his artwork...This image received a "Best Alternative" award here in Atlanta at a Roswell show...I am so very grateful for this BP honor!
