LF: crime scene *fake blood warning*

*blood warning* fake blood and fake wounds

Speedgraphic 4x5 with stroboflash, Adox Ortho 25iso film developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 6 minutes.

I've got another batch of shots to develop, shots of different setups.

Daniel
guess I
ll be the first up!

these look fairly real-
like some kind of gangster hit thing"
I for one think the girl at the end doesn't convince me of emotion with connection to the scene

what are you doing with these
interesting really
looks pretty macabre
will be back later to see what say you-

Charlotte-

Daniel,

Looks pretty real to me! Those suits are really going to need a cleaning! I hope that's in the budget! What's this for?

Asher

No real grand plan for these, just trying out some ideas for vintage looking crime scene stuff for something fun to do on the weekend. (as well as an excuse to test out my new Speedgraphic setup before I go to the vintage races later in the year) Now that we've done this once, we're going to go back and do it again with more ideas and more confidence

If anyone has suggestions on improvement, or other ideas/concepts, I'd gladly take them into consideration. We may try one or two setups that have a 'mob-hit' type feel to them, maybe even going as far as putting some scattered money around the area (if that doesn't look to cheesy). Some of the shots that I haven't developed yet have a few empty bullet shells laying on the ground, but I don't think they will show up very much in the shots.

The clothing, we picked up at local thrift/goodwill stores on the cheap :-D

here's two more:

Daniel,

Why not have a fellow in a raincoat with collar undone a bit and his tie loose, be taking picture with a speed/Crown Graphic with the flash and a nice round reflector. A crime reporter would be a required part of this series.

Another nice touch would be to have a little boy with an old Kodak Brownie box camera taking looking on.

Asher

I do have another speedgraphic and flash, that would probably do pretty good i think I'll have to try that!

Daniel,

I hope you do expand this series. Staging shots is a creative process. I think you are an a very creative track. This is really interesting.
