Sheep Skull – 35mm black and white film – 1975

Sheep Skull

I took this image on the family dining table, the table cloth was used as a drape and the lighting was provided by a bedside lamp.

I took 24 images of the same setup moving the skull (and a bottle) in and around the wooden structure. I was trying to investigate perspective – not bad shots, processing and prints for a seventeen year old Stourbidge College of Art student. More images from this series can be found below.

The camera I used was a Pentax SP100 and the film was Kodak tri X (400 asa)

Tri-X was once one of the most popular films used by photojournalists and many amateurs. It was manufactured by Eastman Kodak in the US, Kodak Canada, and Kodak Ltd in the United Kingdom. Kodak data-sheets used to recommend different processing times depending on where the film was manufactured. Its sales declined in the 1970s and 1980s due to the falling price and increasing popularity of colour film.

About peter

'Death by Sushi' Fish can kill me. When I was very small (maybe 3 or 4 years old) my grandfather, who lost the sight of one eye from a bullet fired by a German sniper (fortunately not a very good one) during the Battle of the Somme in World War 1, wiped my face with the corner of his apron, an apron he had used to wipe his filleting knife on. He was a grocery shopkeeper who specialized in wet fish.
