Temple Details II
I have previously posted Temple Details, and Nishan Sahib shot on very expired colour film as a test roll in a new-to-me Elan IIe. I had this camera in my pocket as well, and this shot was made at the same time, on much better film. I was immediately struck, while looking through the view finder, how this wider angle lens worked so much better for this view. And I was struck again by that same opinion when I saw these images come out of the scanner a couple of days ago.
This is another image from the roll posted as Up Island at 52Rolls.net.

This has quite a different emotional tone in black and white. The azure blue of the sky in the colour shots, made the turrets look like part of a place of celebration. Here, they look less real, less authentic. They look like the could be part of a Lego set. Interesting pic.

Funny how the black and white, and clarity of decent film, have revealed the plastic for what it is! These are fence or gate post finials, very large ones mind you, and molded from plastic. Funny that the complete crap expired colour film could tell such a big and satisfying lie! Like my post on 52 rolls today (coming here soon), another example of bad film telling wonderful big fat fibs.

Yes, oh wow! Extreme fibbing. Some very interesting results there, though. I guess all photos lie, one way or another. Your drain series has quite a few instalments that trick the viewer.😊

It is fun to deceive with the camera but it is a bit disconcerting when the camera chooses to deceive without my knowledge.
