The Rail

Kodak Ektachrome E100VS slide film - cross processed

I had framed up this shot waiting for somebody to walk by so I could take the photo, but the scene remained empty for quite some time. I poked my head out from behind the camera to find this guy standing off the frame to the right waiting for me to take the picture. Little did he know that I was actually waiting for somebody to walk in front of me. I waved him by, and as he crossed the scene I took his picture.

Thanks guys! That's what caught my attention while I was there -- the strong lines from the rail and in the brickwork on the ground.

I hate it when people do that :D

By waiting they ruin a perfectly good photograph. And this one is awesome. I love all that negative space in the foreground.

I've never actually bought slide film with the intention to Xpro (I use stuff that gets given to me at random points in my life), but this roll from you sure makes a convincing argument regarding this particular film...
