Forget To Remember

This message is painted on the boarded-up windows of an abandoned building facing an alley that connects Broadway and Van Buren Street in downtown Fort Wayne. Forget to Remember.

Shot with a Leica M6, 50mm tabbed Summicron, Ilford Delta 3200 film at EI-3200, developed in Tmax Developer.

Chris, excellent!

May I ask why you were using such a fast film?
The DOF don't need to be huge and the subject doesn't move very quickly, does it?

I shot it as I was walking back to my car after photographing some houses nearby. I used Tri-X at EI-320 for the houses, but it was past 7pm and the light was fading fast. By the time I walked past this building, in an alley shaded from the sunlight, it was even darker. I shot these at 1/30 at f4 with the film at EI-3200. I always carry a couple rolls of it in my bag just incase, and when I took a meter reading and realized I'd have to shoot either wide open or at a speed I couldn't handhold, I popped in a roll of D3200 and got the shots!

I like it.

 

[sanmich]

well, it's excellent.
And not an easy shot either.
You had to be very precise on the framing to get the three shots exactly right.
Kudos.

Like the tones.

Now, arrange them 3x3 with rotating positions for new and fun meanings!

Well done and interesting; as usual.

I need to try that combination of film and developer for when I want available light. It looks nice.

I love it. Glad you had the extra film on hand.

This is a great shot Chris. The Delta 3200 looks to be a film I need to try.
