Three more from the college days
These were once more taken on high speed Ektachrome reversal film, relying on careful exposure settings to get the desired effects, and there was no fancy LED screen at the back of the camera, nor computers to tether to and check your results - you shot blind as it were, relying on experience and instinct and bracketing. The irony is, to appear on these digital pages the transparencies have had to be scanned and then fed through Photoshop.

UPDATE: these were the days before Photoshop, all shot on 35m HIgh Speed Ektachrome reversal film. No filters or effects applied, just focus, shutter speed and aperture to play with.
