Buttons, and lots of them.

[Doug T.]

Hi Again!

I was playing around out at the desk, and took this photo of my Barbs' button collection.
I like the color and the vintage look.
Taken with an Anscoflex and my Fuji FinePix which was set on macro.



I really enjoy these, and am still working on my technique, so please feel free to critique it, Thanks!
Again, cropping and resizing were the only manipulation.

Much of what anyone says is down to personal preference. The one definite for me is to remove the half button on the left, as we look at the photo.

I hadn't even noticed the wandering button.
Better?

Looks very like an experimental early full colour process, closely resembling Lumiere or Dufay, both positive starch grained colour plate systems. Slight colour fringing and bleeding, just like the real processes! Lumiere used a random scatter of grains, Dufay used minute lines of grooves for each primary colour grain starch, with an opaque balance. Lumiere were brighter than Dufay, as no opaque was used, giving lower contrast
