Eerie Wish of Phreakness Relish in Photo Bliss at Rosslyn Castle a 4K

I know everyone likes to say from the sublime to the ridiculous, these images have some good starts that lead to the ridlime and on to the subdiculous.

These were meant to be test pictures just for me to calibrate my settings and work towards betters pictures. By accident I discovered a horrifying edit. The Full Spectrum Sensor captures here are with a sharp accurate modern Sony Zeiss lens having the aid of an IR Cut and Aerochrome Tone Filters. I know the colours in the light as seen here and can gain an insight on the very new to me Digital Full Spectrum photography. Beyond that I thought a few people might wish to see me full of fever and in the swirling midst of strange responses to wavelength, tone and manipulation? The exacting nature of the Full Spectrum images offers insight into several aspects of photography. I can see my skin showing scratches with the areas that I am rubbing taking on dark tones in some edits. The stone work renders the most recent hewn pieces differently to the old. With careful adjustments there could be dyes and different surfaces ready to reveal more detail and design even to illustrate modern repairs and untimely traces of chemicals.

These pictures are taken with a Full Spectrum Camera.

The wavelengths visible to other than human eyes can be explored with a Full Spectrum Camera. My friend who loaned me this camera and a set of lenses and filters describes the experience of dogs that cannot easily discern between a red ball and the green of the grass on which it sits.

A Full Spectrum Digital Camera is often a modified camera that can record light beyond the human visible spectrum. By capturing ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light the images reveal a now visible representation of the sight given in the wider wavelengths. This can be achieved by removing the built-in UV/IR cut filter found in standard cameras, this allows for a wider range of light to reach the sensor and to be recorded in a manner visible to the human eye. With the addition of either external filters to the lens, or clip in to the sensor, photographers can choose to block certain wavelengths. These additional filters can be used to isolate ultraviolet UV, infrared IR, or human visible light to achieve specific effects that include using the camera for lowlight photography.

I can photograph a wide spectrum, 

I can photograph a wide spectrum, 

photograph it fully all electrum, 

also use some delicate filtration 

and edit with plenty of adaptation,

Electromagnetic radiation, 

in flowing optical variation 

sensed differently by all living beings 

and also further seen by some ma-chi-nes 

from before the dawn of Ultraviolet 

to far beyond Infrared at sunset

Isaac Newton observed Purple and Indigo,

With Blue and Green, and Yellow too,

With Orange and Red

That is what he said,

Yet some today say his Blue was Cyan

And now the spectrum transfers, without division

It does not precisely fit a divine plan

There is more to light than is in our vision

We are always watching and comprehending the phenomenon

And some also maybe listening to this rather flawed failed song…

A Dream Revisited Kodak Ektachrome FILM Emulsion and ILLUSION 4K

A Dream Revisited Kodak Ektachrome FILM Emulsion and ILLUSION Ilfochrome INVOKED and Cibachrome EVOKED with Crystal Ball Reflection and Projection

The font is not as Kodak have used, as this personal Dream Project is not anything official of Kodak apart from the promotional case, the cute case as I think of it, being manufactured for Kodak is the beginning and an end of Kodak involvement here. The cute case is a great inspiration that has lead me to my digital dream being projected upon Cibachrome panels in my illusion of emulsion. This has been a Pipe Dream that is longing for the past and for potential that has passed. Ektachrome continues, the other side of the aforementioned promotional cute case is red and yellow advertisement of the discontinued Kodachrome. Cibachrome is still emerging from old sheets and fresh made chemical processes I believe, but I only have memories to hand in what sometimes are slide show like interactions within my make believe visionary castles of imagination.

These Pipe Dreams on past photographic productions now unavailable has me making my memories of them wishing to invoke René Magritte and La Trahison des images, The Treachery of Images, which is often evoked with Ceci n'est pas une pipe translated as This is not a pipe. The painted representation of the pipe from 1929 cannot be stuffed said Magritte and it certainly cannot perform as does the pipe it resembles. With such dreams of images and reality, with lost production processes and notions that the Camera Never Lies I have my dreams some real, others surreal, a few definitely beyond reality and further those resting in imagination and with vision of a remembrance towards a former reality accomplished now here held in pixels that have been embraced in loving edits.

The snappy title belies the convoluted memory to digital process from a 4x5 SINAR set up out of Switzerland following formulas from there that fill my photographic contemplations. Images of images and images to last against the ravages of time are bound in my mind with Kodachrome, Cibachrome and the varying P 3 / P 3X / P 30P / P 30 P 3.5 processes. In reflection and rumination through editing I have lost and found time, thought of reality and enjoyed illusion, fantasy and fiction. This is one picture brightly produced in varying considerations, cogitations and cognations created these digital inklings that presume to be potential for a project.

I would like to add, this as much I do is Production Incarnate Preinduction Illustrate. A progress in work Inspiration for the next creation.

As the above is my usual text slide to conclude the films I release on YouTube and Flickr I will add this below so as not to use the regular ending. I feel completely engaged and absolutely ready for each next link and flow in the chain and the continuation that interlock and mind and body shock me out of, into and all around these moments. The personal interaction here in picture taking and editing has taken me to moments in history and projected me to places far beyond mystery.

I should list a set of links in this space that could take you to that past factual information of the photographic processes here mentioned and pondered upon, but the journey awaits you whether you are new, or well along the ways of these defunct and still adored pictorial wonders that fuel current projects and enlighten dreams with fantastic rendition and fabulous colour.
