400 ISO 35 mm. Ilford B + W film, taken with Pentax K-1000 camera and 28 mm f 1.8 lens, using indoor fluorescent and tungsten task lighting. Shot in December 2007, then scanned using an hp 4050 bed scanner. James has passed away, and was very ill when he agreed to be my 'environmental' model.
I first got to grips with 'depth of field' when I was re-working this foreground in the darkroom. It was during the very intense 'dodging and burning' exercises which I needed to perform to get this shot well-exposed in the foreground as well as on the jeweller, that I realised I could influence what was visible or not, in my film images.
