Ground Glass: Mansfield Dam
To be fair, I’m totally ripping this idea off of Miles over at Mute. But when I went out to shoot Monday with my Graflex 6×9, I couldn’t help but take a picture of the ground glass with my Digital Rebel before taking the actual shot. And the fact that I was shooting with tungsten balanced color negative film might mean that the actual pictures might be a pain to color balance. That remains to be seen, though.

haha, no worries Walker I think it’s a great fun technique and this looks great. I’m just peeved yours is so much cleaner than mine! There’s no grid on your glass?
If you’re interested I started a Flickr group just now, http://flickr.com/groups/ground_glass/ check it out, join, post etc. I haven’t gotten around to inviting anyone yet.

I’ve always wanted to do this but with my Diana - I’d have to get some glas beforehand and put that in etc. But I really like the effect! Good work!
