L'Idole de Pomos remontant a la periode chalcolithique



Les pieces en euros de Chypre ont un cours legal dans la zone euro depuis le 1er janvier 2008. L'euro a remplace l'ancienne monnaie nationale, la livre chypriote.



Les pieces representent une idole cruciforme datant de la periode chalcolithique (3000 av. J.-C.). Cet exemple caracteristique de l’art prehistorique de l’ile illustre la place de Chypre au c? ur de la civilisation et de l’antiquite.



Nous serons heureux de repondre a toutes vos questions :)

Ground Strike!

Ground Strike!

The last storm shot I would take while chasing in Oklahoma, during 2010. This cloud had produced three tornados earlier in the day, and I was waiting for it to pass the township of Guymon before trying to get to my hotel. It was still spewing 1-1/2" hail and I didn't want to get caught in that. The streak you see along the horizon is a car approaching me down hwy 412 during the time I had my shutter open.



I previously did post a shot that looked a lot like this one, but I think I got a better exposure here, which shows off more detail of the shape of the cloud structure.

Holiday experiments with redscale... (August 2009)

I did not line up the film, nor take notes, nor plan the compositions. I did decide to shoot the entire roll through on Lewis/Harris and after respooling, shoot over it on the remaining islands we were visiting - Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula & Grimsay, South Uist, Eriskay, Barra & Vatersay.



The negatives were returned uncut as requested, but I did get lab scans. I have cropped where I feel it is most helpful to do so - the luck of the draw has meant there was very little (if any) frame overlaps on this roll, which made me very happy.



Redscaling.

Basically it involves taking a roll of ordinary 'bog standard' print film, reversing it and respooling it into another film canister (all done in a dark bag) so that the light is exposed on 'the wrong side of the film' when you take a shot. You then lose two 'stops' on the optimal exposure conditions from the original. It gets developed in exactly the same way as print film, but be prepared for the technician to be a little startled (at best) or a little irritated (at worst) when they realise that something very odd has happened to the film. :)
