As a new member to this list I would like to greet
everyone. I have been enjoying the debates and found them useful. I am currently
embarked on a little project which is all about my partners' small farm - a one
man outfit and probably a fast disappearing way of life. I am using a mixture if
LF cameras as well as medium format and use enlarged negatives made on Ortho
film for the salt prints that I am making.
I would like to make some images of my partner
going about his work, so will use MF, and would like to achieve for some of them
an 'anamorphic' look that I have seen elsewhere. It is not just that the image
is out of focus, but that it takes on a strange shape. I nearly achieves this in
one image where he was walking away and was in the background of a shot. Is this
the way it is done, can anyone tell me? I would like to have a fairly extreme
example of this - a suggested shape in the landscape to counter balance the more
prosaic shots I already have - I would be so grateful for any
advice.
With all good wishes,

PS have been having mottling problems with my salt
prints with high humidity and temperatures, so it is obviously not confined to
Gum!
