The Golden Cow of Craigmillar



Comments made by the photographer

Submitter's name: Graeme Pow
Title: The Golden Cow of Craigmillar
Gear used: OM-1n + Zuiko 21/3.5
Diaphragm: f5.6
Shutter speed: 1/60
Film used: ILFORD FP4 Plus 125
Technical information: I used the 21mm to distort perspective and shot in black and white to simulate what a dog might see (although some clever clogs at work pointed out to me this morning that dogs do, in fact, have colour vision similar to red-green colour blind people). Film was processed in ID-11, scanned in using a CanoScan D1250U2F flatbed scanner with slightly warped film adapter, and inexpertly edited in Photoshop.
Subject information: CowParade is the world's largest public art event. This year sees CowParade's first foray into Scotland with 94 fibreglass cow sculptures decorated by local (and not so local) artists, and distributed across the streets, parks and historic locations of Edinburgh.

This particular cow, "The Golden Cow of Craigmillar," is situated in Princes Street Gardens and was created by Crummy, Andrew and 15 young people from Craigmillar.

Comment left by: Bernice Joseph (bj7_@hotmail.com) Great photo, very humourous. Good tone and texture and perspective.

Comment left by: Flemming Kristensen (no e-mail specified) Great shot! It might benefit from a slightly darker sky, but that is nit-picking. I think the shooting angle is perfect. It's great to see that there are still people out there shooting B&W.
