Continuing on from last week's teaser, here's a straight print of the same negative, again on Fomabrom112 but in regular Multigrade developer this time:
Here's the lith one again, for comparison:
Yep, makes no sense to me either!
So the shot was taken at a end-of-summer fair in Faro, southern Portugal, towards the end of October. My wife had a 'significant birthday' last year - I'd promised her a trip away, and this was it. We had a very pleasant few days eating and drinking our way around the town and just happened to catch the Feira de Santa Iría whilst there. It was pretty darn good, with everyone in high spirits - lots of fairground rides (like the one above) and food stalls. The fair started over 400 years ago, apparently, and lasts for 9 days. In other words, a great big party - a great big long party. And why not, eh?
I have to say we do like Portugal - the weather, the food and the people. And a big plus, we could fly direct from Belfast. Perfect.
Not what I was expecting. That's a good picture - it captures the speed of the carousel. What will you do with the lith print?
