I was shooting Kodak Tri-X with EI400 developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 12:30 sec at 21C with agitation for the first minute and then for 10 seconds every minute. I used water as a stop bath, Kodak Rapid Fixer for 5 minutes, and Hypo Clear for 2 minutes before the final water wash. This was developed in the same tank as roll 4.

I love getting underneath these road bridges and taking shots looking up. There is just something to be said for the gentle curves. Once again, I am drawn to this type of composition because of the simple geometric shapes of the three triangles. Okay, so one is more of a rhombus, but you know what I mean.

I have done some digital post-production here. I pulled back some of the cloud detail with the recovery slider and dodged under the brides to get some shadow detail.

If you spend enough time in the city just watching people, you will see a natural rhythm, as if your heart has a beat. In the city, this is caused by most people following social conventions to wait at traffic lights or for a bus to arrive and drop off its passengers. So, as I was waiting for someone to walk past this backdrop, I had no one or a bunch of people.

I have cropped this down to give it a more panoramic fall and exaggerate the left and right-hand space.

This is a lovely old door hidden in a side street down in Pyrmont. Isn't all the texture just great? Generally, side lighting is the best way to bring out this texture; however, here, the right-hand side ended up in the shadows, which I don't partially like.

Once again, some simple geometrical patterns have caught my eye. I spent some time trying to get a symmetrical shot, but the wires that are used to support the bridge did not want to cooperate with me; maybe I should have tried standing in the middle of the road.

This shot was taken just around the corner from where I took the shots of the Palisade in the previous roll. The security camera and its shadow on the brick wall, combined with the cool street lighting, drew me to this location. Still, I had just heard about a photo exhibition in England featuring photographs of surveillance devices.

So, with that in mind, I decided to stop and take a shot but to make it a little different, I placed this chair directly where the security camera was pointing. No, I don't carry around prop chairs; this one was conveniently placed about 5 meters from where I took this shot.
