Promised and now delivered.

Here's a scan of a print from my coursework for my college project "Similar But Different".

This was taken at home set up using a felt background with some clear bulbs dangling from black thread at varying levels and distances from the camera lens. In order to throw the background out and leave it perfectly black, I lit the shot with a single Interfit Flash Head arranged below. I shot this on HP5 400 on the Bronica ETRSi with sync cable @ 1/500th second at f/16. The negatives were developed in bath/darkroom and printed at Brighton Uni. There's a few obvious mistakes in composition and visible threads but this is only my first attempt to see whether it could make an interesting set of images. Hope you like it comments appreciated.
