I just found this print in an old portfolio case I took with me to the interview for the job on Practical Photography magazine 19 years ago. Time flies... It's also my first upload in ages, so apologies for not keeping my folio alive.

The shot was taken on using the Mamiya RB67 and Agfapan 100. It's the decaying body of a sheep found on Derybshire moors. This is a scan of the print I originally made when I had a darkroom back in Sheffield. I scanned in using the Microtek Scanmaker 6800. No editing in Photoshop just straight through. I've always liked this one.

S'a bit gruesome Pete but part of life & death I suppose.
Nicely converted & I think Greg has hit the nail on the head.

Like this!

Theres something so subtle about film and mono that ive yet quite to see in digital. Cant put my finger on it , but its a tonal thing.

This may go the same way as my dead rabbit at the YSP from last year which died as an upload too Smile
I took that down but might send a print to the Tate Modern...

welcome back..... and what a great image to return with, although it is pretty horrid in its subject, it is very well caprured and has a wonderful quality - and as dave said, the tones are superb

great capture - wonderful quality - works best in b&w

intriguing subject because it looks in a way more mummified than just simple die and rot the way the skin on the bulk of the body hasn't rotted much but the head and neck are down to the skull and also the way all the wool looks shawn off. certainly must have been an interesting way to go at the time Smile

what did the interviewer at PP think when they saw this in your portfolio? Smile

seeing a photo of such high quality makes me want a medium format camera even more Smile

any pigs in the photo collection like this lol

Good to see you back, dont forget to take it easy

Great quality to this you can almost smell it. Not a subject you see here often but does have some resemblance to some of the models we seeSmile
Glad to see you are up to uploading again.

A shot from a Mamiya RB67 on Agfapan 100 - we are talking quality here. You don’t get many shots on a roll of 120 film when using a camera like that.

A mono image of the finest order and no hesitation giving this top marks.

Dave.

Oooooh, I like a bit of dead sheep, I do. Although usually with a bit of mint sauce or in a stew or a Rogan Josh..... Wink
