Across the pyramide Photo

Photographer’s Note

How about a lil'cross processing?

I guess everybody knows the Louvre Pyramides in Paris. However, it's a nice place to take the sun and shoot some film.

Specially when it's sunny there are always graphical effects and sun reflections to play with, some characters that fit and nicely include into the image.

This effect is given from cross processed slide film. All the fun is that you never know what you get : the idea of cross processing is that the film takes control, not yourself, not the camera program, just the film.
I use EPN for it because I like its cyan and gold cast. Besides that, it is quite contrasty and hence beefs up the pic.
Note : no PS effects, except a little sharpening.

Interesting shot! Good composition, and the cross-processing adds a novel twist :-D

Although, I have only begun to learn about the complicated art that is photography; I think that this is a beautiful photo. Great work!

I wonder if I can do something like this with my digital scanner?

I find the result here very fun, yes, i could say this has such and such a technical problem, but taken as a whole, i love it. What's working the best for me are the lines in the shot. The lines each seem to be getting progressively pointing more up, until we hit the pyramid. That's great.

very nice shot Luko, is it true that this piramid consists of 666 windows?

les tonalités refletent tres bien l'idée de chaleur et la recherche du hazard est intréessante. couleurs saturées. bravo !
