Hazard Pay 2
The scanner is still indisposed, so I was obliged to go into past projects to pull this pic. I had to add the black frame in photoshop because tweaking the contrast was bleeding all the detail out in the bottom right. (Afterthought: what black frame, you may be thinking... If you can't see it, I'm not gonna tell you. :) Alas, I put a black frame on a picture posted on a black background. I'm a moron)
Its of a local fountain. All the streaks that you see is water sheeting off textured concrete and then cascading down terraces.
My life was in constant jeopardy taking this shot. The fountain kicked up a fine mist was everywhere. I had to climb up on a soaking wet architectural feature to get this perspective. Steady! Steady! That's what kind of hero I can be :)
I still have the original negative, and I would sure like to rescan it later at a higher resolution so I could get rid of all hint of pixelation, but right now, this will have to do.
Incidentally, it was shot with Tri-X 400 film and a Canon AE camera.

It's beautiful. I wouldn't have "seen" the water if you hadn't said it. It looked like the grain of wood columns and I was assuming the horizontal wash was from a cement sculpture. Interesting contrast, indeed.
Thankee, ma'am. I had a guy think it was a tire tracks once.
It's one of my favorites, but perhaps I should have gotten a human in there for some scale and context. :p
