ILPhoto Gallery (a thread to show off your pictures)

Prompted by Joe on the Flickr thread on ILE.

I don't think we really have a proper picture thread, so this is it. Link to stuff you fancy showing off on Flickr, Photobucket, your own website, wherever. Invite constructive criticism, show us what you're up to lately, technical compare'n'contrast, ask for advice or just make people jealous with your holiday snaps/studio images of beautiful people. Anything goes as long as it's a photo you* took. SFW is a good idea too, I s'pose.

(* or partner, kids, close personal friend...)

I know these threads become browser-killers in time, so we can perhaps have ILP Gallery 2: Amusing Sequel Name, etc in the future.

I took all the photos on waldenplantation.com - they did some lolPhotoshop on their own to add grass in a few places that were still bare dirt

Aside from needing pictures of the B&B from all angles, different rooms, etc., the only thing I was told was that Brian (the owner) desperately wanted photographs of the house chicken salad. It was the best salad ever, blah blah blah. Watched the chef make it: greens from Costco, frozen chicken reheated in the microwave. FANCY.

http://waldenplantation.com/images/photoalbum/Photo%20album/Dining_area/DSC_1508_lrg.jpg

Chef ought to be in scare quotes, btw. Dude is also the primary housekeeper.

I'm not sure you're going to get any repeat business from these people, Milo. Great work, though. Boy, they've stretched it thin..."Longhorns and landscape" shares half of its photos with "Fly-fishing" and the same ones appear again in "Kayaking", etc. Bless 'em.

Not sure I can share stuff I've done "professionally" (and those are massive inverted commas), but these are a couple I did for a friend's website about six months ago (and this thread reminded me to put them on Flickr). Not great but, y'know, it's nice to work to a brief for a change.

Came in here kinda excited to share some images, but discover than my last contribution was also extension-tube macro with bounced flash. Oh well. I didn't endure the worst case of pins'n'needles known to man not to post this though (kneeling on floor, trying to fine-tune focus with sticky Vivitar lens...)

btw, how do you make the picture link back to your photostream in bbcode?

I've added you too (though most of my/our stream is private photos of our daughters and their neighbourhood chums).

Very impressed! And jealous - D3, Kristin Hersh, Kingsway Tunnel, just the general skill on show...

btw, how do you make the picture link back to your photostream in bbcode?

thanks!

the pix here are all lovely but michael jones is some sort of insane photography mentalist. both the london bridge snaps, of a station i've seen thousands of times in my life, are wondrous and deeply resonant to me. four lights in a row in the night one are basically god's judgement peering out of the sky and saying 'we see you'. and joe you did extremely well to find that monument on a day that cloud was there :D

You're very kind, sir. I don't think I'm much of a photographer really - just a snapper who geeks out a bit on the gear and has a modicum of technical nous. I'm in awe of the real talents/people who do this for a living (and there are a few on ILX, I think).

We probably need more people shots on this thread but I know how tricky that is. Even my own children hide from the camera these days.

Got to catch them while they're too young to protest!

Gorgeous. I remember thinking when I saw yr wonderful photos of S3th last summer that I really wish I'd had a DSLR for the birth of my girls! We did OK with the little compact (those labour wards must be better lit than I recall).

i got loads of ppl pics in uganda, but they are all lol nat geo

nat geo ain't no lolling matter, as far as I'm concerned.

I can't do street photography to save my life - way too timid - and yet it's my favourite stuff to actually look at. Unless it's photography of an actual street (manholes, padlocks, gutters...) - I can do that.

Delta 3200 B&W film

<3

ok, one from the recently purchased Minolta that came out nicely:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2757/4366407575_d64a0954e7.jpg

I'm lucky that I took a couple non-flash photos this night, since the flash and shutter were apparently out of sync the whole time, leaving me with three nearly blank rolls! I mostly shot at 1/60, which is maybe too fast for a camera from the early 60s? I know a lot of them defaulted to 1/30 for flash photography but thought I could shoot a little faster with no problem. The manual I downloaded doesn't actually specify exposure time for flash (which on this camera connects via PC cable).

Lovely shot.

Another pic from the PHNAT event from that roll of Delta 3200:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2688/4366609604_ca7d26fe10.jpg

Some pretty fast film then yeah? Lookin pretty good.
What camera were you using? And have you shot much low light stuff with film of that speed? Kinda interested in trying some higher ASA film for nightime/indoor stuff.

Canon EOS 10 - a 1990 film SLR which I picked up for nothing a couple of years ago (having been spoiled by autofocus I've not gone back to our manual film SLRs as much). I did get some very low-light shots off this roll - I may try and put them on Flickr this evening. The camera has Delta 1600 in it right now.

High-speed colour film can be fun too, though the grain is a little more distracting there. This is Fuji Superia 1600 from about a year ago:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3521/3310391352_71b18b0ef3.jpg

tiny pedantic point, but the film you've got in at the mo - it's a delta 3200, right? as far as i recall there's no 1600 so you just shoot on 3200, set to 1600. i am basing this on always having bought 3200s and being impressed by developers who knew the setup and so developed with that in consideration.

Ah, sorry, my mistake - it's not Delta, it's Fuji Neopan 1600. I also have some Neopan 400CN in the fridge (which can be processed as C41, so that immediately saves me at least a fiver and about 10 days' wait!), so that might be next.

From Kew Gardens on Saturday. I don't know these kids. They were talking about what the fish in the pond eat. One of them suggested snails, but the other said it was probably the green stuff on the water.

Featuring Michael Jones' favourite station

How blue is the sky?

I like that dog gbx! did you shoot in 16:9 mode?

cropped

I don't know about "favourite", LJ. Very glad to not have to go near the place until next Monday.

Was in Copenhagen this weekend (pics to follow - a lot of weeding to do) but it's cured me of that bicycle seat photo compulsion. First shot outside the station was a Brooks seat... and then I realised that about 1 in 12 bike seats in KBH are Brooks and, in Denmark, that adds up to a whole lot.

Another little obsession of mine is padlocks and the trip I've just been on has probably cured me of that too - specifically, passing over the Hohenzollen Bridge in Cologne. For old times' sake, now that I've lost interest...

No Photoshopping, no cropping, just a bit of contrast & exposure adjustment in Aperture and otherwise straight out of the camera. In other words, pure luck.

19 pigeons were resting on Em's parents' roof; we put food on the lawn for them, they came down, I startled them and snapped away. This was the result. It looks like time-delay superimposition of one pigeon ascending, but is three, genuinely, caught in a moment.

nice. like the cool white balance too.

Found this one from my trip to SF last February. I was on the point of Alcatraz looking back, and thought what I was seeing at a distance was a fog bank rolling in.

Instead it was Noah's flood, soaked me to the bone, destroyed my umbrella - but did nothing to my Nikon thank God.

Borrowed an ultra-wide zoom for a trip back to my old hometown recently (ostensibly to document the interior of the house where I grew up - I handed the keys back to the landlord that weekend) but any outdoor shots were hampered by relentless greyness and drizzle...

when I get my life more orderly, I'm going to work on doing a project 365, so, um, fourthed.

365?

good luck with that, you'll be surprise how many people start that and give up.

Would not be surprised at all about the giving up! It will be extra hard for me, because even when I'm shooting I tend to wait a month or more before I start editing (unless I absolutely have to get on it). Will have to get in the habit of shooting RAW+JPEG for the times when I can't put in a lot of editing work.
On the positive side, new iPhone camera is a vast improvement over any camera phone I've had before.

speak not of telephone on photography thread!

i hope you do it, it takes a lot. are you shooting specific subjects or just capturing something that catches you eye on a daily basis.

think I'm gonna settle for weekly

365 too hard and I am waaaaay too lazy

there's loads of self portrait 365's on flickr, i don't know how they do it. taking a new random picture everyday can be time consuming, but to have to think about it, shoot and edit everyday must be a full time job?

been so busy working on my website i have only made it 7 more pics into my set from Egypt.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4076/4758488597_47e803d1a7_b.jpg

that looks like a model!

re: 365, one time i took a photo an hour for a week. not exactly riveting tbh:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ledgr/sets/72057594143533005/

thinking about it, could be a project better suited to a holiday, than a normal hum-drum week.

yeah, maybe a 24 hour journey or something?
tis a good idea, but needs the right setting...

Still going through old stuff that's just turning up. Alcatraz viewed from Pier 39 IIRC. Not very good small, since The Rock blends into Marin County, works a little bit better printed large.

I should totally pirate CS5 and use their new reality altering feature to make Sausalito disappear.

I've borrowed an 85L and a 17-55/2.8IS this last week and shot a wedding, so I've a huge stockpile of images now...but none I can put here. So here's one from the first day I took the 85L out last week...

Great set of shots Schmidt, love the light in the couple on bench shot
an old shot, but i like it.

Schmidt - i love the first one - almost looks like a painting!

Great work, everyone. Schmidt - is that last one prep for a wedding?

This from back in May - tourists in evening light, Leicester Square...also cropped square, perhaps as some kind of joke, I don't remember...

Thnks for the kind words folks! The last one is just a makeover session - not a wedding.

I read some of the other ILP wedding photography threads - useful warnings within - am toying with pitching for offering to shoot a friend of a friends wedding late summer.

Will try and post some new ones later this week.

My solo wedding shoot went OK, I think. I'd give myself 6.5/10.

Stuff I messed up: first dance (was totally in wrong position, using wrong lens - but got other bride'n'groom dance shots later where, with careful cropping, it looks like they're on their own), family groups (it was never part of the brief to do these but, inevitably, other guests started to get groups to form for their shots, which I tagged onto and, not being 6'4" or prepared to elbow people out of the way, my piggybacked efforts are kinda lousy). A lot of casual portraits are quite poorly framed too; mindful of retaining 3x2 aspect for printing, my crops are ending up very contrived.

Stuff I nearly messed up: the kiss; shooting the ceremony with available light with the 17-55/2.8IS, suddenly realised the metering on the last few was messed up by strong wall lights behind the couple, starting fiddling with the Speedlite settings and..."you may now kiss..." Just got it with flash.

Stuff I'm kinda proud of: all the unposed portraits with the 85L, especially those after about 8:30pm, when the light on the patio was magical. But I was only pointing and shooting - f/1.2 does the rest! The later Elvis impersonator/dancing shots - from either up on a chair or low down on the dancefloor itself, 17mm, flash and bounce card. Ceiling was mirrored, so there are crazy patterns on everything which may be ruinous but I kinda like it.

Of course, I can't post any of these here!

31C, wearing a suit, 9-hour day. Loved it.

well done. i'm doing photos for friends in august as their wedding gift, so any advice is appreciated - bear in mind i don't think i've ever even seen a complete wedding album so i'm not sure what's expected!

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/818963/Photos/Achill%20scenery/Achill%20%287%29.jpg

hmm should probably take out a lot of foreground there?

I shot this one a couple of weeks ago. The lighting was a bit of a fluke, but don't tell anyone.

No lie: actual Pavlovian saliva reaction here :-)

Getting into B&W at the moment, it's not as easy as it looks.
Here's my latest attempt at it...
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4087/4847239976_91f4e68589.jpg

Good work, everyone. Really love that sky, not_goodwin.

I skipped last week, so here's two...
(Elvis impersonator at the wedding - seemed to shoot this just as someone else fired a flash, which worked quite well...)
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4821991801_95206b7d68.jpg

(An old photo of Lulu (Mar '09), shaking the hair out of her eyes; bounced flash...)
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3433/3350361190_4992096c4f.jpg

That Elvis pic is amazing, Jonesy.

Elvis pic is just that.

Elvis pic is something else!
Great tones on the Lulu one too!

Thangyewverymuch. Uh-huh-huh.

from the pic, he's a pretty good elvis too?

He was really great. White rhinestone jumpsuit for the first half, powder blue for the second half. His frail old dad set up his equipment for him - "I blacked out in Morrisons the other day - don't tell our kid." I took a lot of photos of Elvis.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4864221685_dd7a97c6be.jpg

Took the D700 to work to document a project we're finishing, started shooting my grandfather from the hip (so he wouldn't get self-conscious, and because I was bored). A couple worked out, I think.

like how everyone's looking in different directions in that shot, dyao.

This week's picture (again, raiding the archives through lack of inspiration)...

Very nice, very well composed.
That 85mm f/1.2 is a wonderful lens, have you splashed out on one?

Not taken a picture for over 2 weeks, so here's one from then...
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4881521447_a9f2a0c4a9.jpg
... a big sunlit cloud over Manchester

That 85mm f/1.2 is a wonderful lens, have you splashed out on one?

Er, it's good but it's not that good... (/Carry On)

No, no - that shot was from the few days in July when I had one on hire for the wedding. It's everything everyone says it is. But if we're going to spend £1700 on something, an old VW Polo might be more useful...

Great cloud, btw!

Didn't you rate it? I've seen some amazingly clear crisp with beautiful dof shots from them.
Also, if i could afford £1700 on a lens, i'd probably be driving something pretty decent anyway :)

Sorry, I was making a crude joke. Yes, it really is amazingly good. I did wonder about the 85/1.8 though, how much lighter and faster-focusing that is, and whether it gets you 90% of the image quality at the expense of a stop of speed, at about 1/6th the price. But hard to imagine using anything else for a wedding reception.

Last one for a good while, dropped camera yesterday and it's dead :(

Oh no! How's yr insurance?

£150 excess, (which is a lot at the moment as i'm jobless) but i'm worried they'll want me to get it repaired. I'd rather not have a repaired 4 year old camera. Was hoping to get the money, maybe a 500D body only which is the same price now as what i paid for the 400D years. Maybe even something second hand, but i'm wary of that.

bad week for me too.... had my Nikon D70s stolen last friday while slightly drunk and took my eye of my bag. but not blaming myself for thief.

borrowed a Canon EOS 300d to finish off an assignment, but not feeling it as much as the Nikon.

http://dyao.tumblr.com/photo/1280/1070123803/1/tumblr_l8a6u9PaLh1qbw37p

developed my first rolls of B&W over the weekend. pretty exciting! resolving to shoot 1 roll a day, hopefully. we'll see.

Sorry to hear about lost/damaged/stolen cameras. I'm hoping I had my dose of ill-timed cameralessness when the 300D shutter mech failed on my daughter's 4th birthday last year. Touch wood.

I'm about three weeks behind, so...

Those seem to have a 70s American look about them. Serene civic space in the first and corporate paranoia in the second (is that cropped?).

Michael Jones' second pretty great too.

hah, yeah- the use of B&W, grainy high contrast film does place it pretty firmly in the 50s-70s American aesthetic.

I'm gonna try a different developer next time, hope to get a less-contrasty, more fine-toned image.

Great work again people.
I'm a bit obsessed with the sky, it's all i seem to shoot lately. I really need to find something else to shoot as i'm getting a little bored with it.
Anyway, here's a shot of the sky :)

Gorgeous, not_goodwin.

It's Monday - time for a photo. We do bake-off challenges at work, so I get to practise my food photography (of the sort where you have about 2min to fire off a few shots before everyone piles in and scoffs everything). Obviously, I can't help myself with the shallow DoF... this was Pimms jelly with fruit.

these are fairly old, but I kept coming back to them in my Lightroom archive, decided to order 20x30 MPIX prints (so freaking easy and cheap to get giant prints now - the largest I could print in a real darkroom was on 16x20 paper as the color processor couldn't go larger and trying to do it in the B&W darkroom was torture)
I can't decide if there's any value to them or if I'm just weird

feelin like i should just sack up and pay for it X(

haha he was actually woman iirc

since you're in school you can probably get LR3 pretty cheap through an education discount, should be under $100 (maybe $60-80 something like that)

reminds me, apparently I can get the CS5 suite for $150 or something through my school but the instructions are in Chinese and I need to figure it out

Michael, would you mind detailing what camera you used for the Brighton and V&A pics?

Click through and you can see the full EXIF data on Flickr - but it was a Canon EOS 40D, using 28mm (V&A) and 12-24mm lenses (New Brighton).

yeah the AF went for maggie's torso and not her wrist :/

finally ponied up for lr3 and "released" a bunch of wedding photos from this summer

gettin back in the game imo

thx!

also tried out setting the tone curve/desaturation/white balance to be uniform across the batch, to make it seem more like they'd all been shot on the same roll of film

valid strategy? MJ: do you basically use the same tone curve for everything and then tweak? all yr pics are so characteristically "yours"

Loving the colours and contrast on the last bunch of pix on here.

gbx: yeah, I reflexively do more or the less the same thing to images except when I'm really stuck and I resort to a more extreme treatment. S-curve, deepen the blacks, clarity and vibrance boosts, pop out faces with adjustment brushes, gradient skies. Can't help meself.

thanks! those last few were all taken at my friends' wedding in rural new mexico. most in attendance were current or former dirtbags.

btw, really loving just using a preset first-pass development scheme (curve, desat, etc). great for treating snaps i don't really plan on working over too much.

Here's a recent one that I'm very proud of, from a camera I no longer use (Canonet... the rangefinder is way off, there are some scratches on the rear element, etc.):

Like, that photo looks pretty good, but seriously half of the shots I ever got back from that camera were out of focus (and I think that it wasn't only the rangefinder mechanism, but maybe event the focus ring/lens barrel itself). I knew this when using it but kept it up just cuz I liked the feel so much!

yeah I really loved my canonet for the two months it worked :-/

lol I dropped my canonet and it stopped working. sold it on ebay for parts

i tried advancing the film

On a happier note, I couldn't be more pleased with my recent batch of Olympus RCs.

people who follow my tumblr seemed to like this one

Cool couple and nicely capture dayo. I'm not comfortable shooting strangers, how do others feel about it?
anyway, here's another sunset, i really need to find something else to shoot!

great shot dayao. that dude is too cool.

I normally drift towards taking photographs of buildings, so am really pleased with how well this one turned out.

I don't find it very natural or easy to take photos of people myself, but I keep trying to make an effort of it. The boldest I've gotten was maybe in the following (and a few others like it) where I decided I was going to take flash photos of people on the street:

It helps me to have a camera like the Olympus XA2 though, since it's very very unobtrusive and there is no time spent focusing or adjusting aperture and exposure time. And I just try to look like a confused tourist.

Whoops, sorry

S-curve, deepen the blacks, clarity and vibrance boosts, pop out faces with adjustment brushes, gradient skies.

I've now got an Aperture 3 preset called 'Michael Jones', works a treat!

I'm not comfortable shooting strangers, how do others feel about it?

I pretty much only take pictures of strangers now and it doesn't get any easier!

great street pics though, you and chinavision! chinavision, were you going for a bruce gilden look?

Not really, although I kinda love the video of him walking around sticking his flash in people's faces. I just realized that I liked strong fill flash and was feeling a bit emboldened. Helps to have a tiny camera.
I definitely still get kinda nervous taking photos of people on the street, and have occasionally had people get pretty pissed off. Many people really do seem to believe that you are breaking a law if you photograph them.

sorry for dumping, i haven't had LR for a while

I've now got an Aperture 3 preset called 'Michael Jones', works a treat!

Donations to my PayPal account gladly accepted!

Funnily enough, I've never created a preset for what I (almost always) do in LR; I just react to each picture individually, but I end up doing more or less the same thing to each one (the areas of greatest variability are usually midtone brightness and the bottom end, especially if I'm shooting in low light and deliberately underexposing by 1 to 1 2/3 stops.)

Owe the thread some more pix but it's all been kids' parties and friends lately and I can't put those here. Will take the 40D out today. Otherwise, it's raiding the archives...

i would love to take more photos of random people, always produces interesting pics. i just can't bring myself to be that confident though.

need to get out with cam this winter.

Shot from the hip after my sisters dog chased them, not the sharpest of photo's, but not bad seeing as it was from the hip!

Thanks guys, it's a nice little place east of Manchester (UK) called Dovestone.

RR is that you upside down?

ha, only a certain kinda english person will describe a deserted reservoir in the hills in the coldest winter in decades as 'a nice little place'

nice photo tho

Please to describe, I'm intrigued :)

a very english english person!

I guess I'm that then.
Not the worst thing I've been called.

i guess a very northern english person

was the reservoir frozen?

RR is that you upside down?

Ah yes sorry: http://www.flickr.com/photos/54844770@N08/sets/72157625147567166/

We took 8,000 but there's only about 130 in the flickr set.

Just 8,000? Could've made an effort :)

Cheers, will have a look.

I'll do a couple more here at some point, when I've found ones that are interesting to other people. Most of them are just sunsets and zebras' arses.

Woah, is that a bendy track or a moving exposure?

btw thanks guys! The bloke in the hat has got impala shit on his tongue. He posed like that and we're still not sure why. The feller in the background was sick of waiting for us and went up a tree, as you do.

The bloke in the hat has got impala shit on his tongue.

I just thought it was another guys head in the background and it was a composition fluke!

Also, polar bear in the desert = global warming fact!

That's the Sowa Pan, a huge giant massive bloody wad of salt in the middle of nowhere except it has polar bears.

Looked at your set today, so many great shots and after i calmed down from getting insanely jealous, i promised myself i'd do this within a year.
How long were you there?

A month, but about 2/3 of that was on safaris. Sooo worth doing. I can give you loads and loads of advice btw.

Please do, there's a million sites out there, but it'd be better getting info from someone who's actually done it.
Ive added you as a contact on flickr.

Ace. ilxmail me through this account too, if you like. I'll do you a quick rundown in a few days (going away this weekend) and you can keep flinging questions at me.

Woah, is that a bendy track or a moving exposure?

what's a moving exposure? anyway, it's a bendy track.

d'oh I meant you were moving the camera while the shutter was open, but you didn't so

I'm a little embarrassed to include this one, given the subject matter, but I really like the result.
I use toys quite often when I'm trying to come up with new lighting and portraiture ideas.
Also this has been post-processed with a fairly heavy b&w filter in LightRoom.

Wy embarrassed? Toys are great to work with, especially when you want to try things with human subjects but don't have the patience.

Yeah, I never could get the kids to balance on the turntable like Peppa...

I really like the photo. I just thought people might find a picture of a couple of plastic toys slightly odd.
Turns out I'm not the only person to do this...

Oh and thanks for the positive feedback regarding the photo.

Nothing to be embarrassed about treefell, that shot has great lighting, and as AA said, great to practice on too.

Should we start a new thread for 2011? It's probably about time for one.

Here are a few pictures I took during xmas hols. I only took about 20 photos the entire 17 days I was away visiting family. I intended to take more, but... it's too cold to be outside for long in Edmonton in December and my dog will only pose for so long.

Does anyone have any tips/tricks for dealing with light pollution? Usually the sky in my nighttime photos comes out DARK RED. I have figured out how to kind of sort of maybe fix this in LR/Photoshop but is there a way of dealing with light pollution when taking the actual photo?

http://www.houstonmagic.com/Photos_files/image054.jpg

sup

Usually the sky in my nighttime photos comes out DARK RED.

not sure i have any useful tips here. i'm 99% shop and 1% shot.

which reminds me - some new T dot night images:

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5164/5331606738_c94bbbffe6_z.jpg

salsa shark lives near Tron.
Great shots, what & where are those btw?

Also the light pollution thing, could be white balance, but you can alter that in Lr, so i er dunno.

agree on the new thread, tis time.

what a moving photo, meisenfek

not_goodwin, the buildings comprise Edmonton's Muttart Conservatory. Each pyramid houses a different 'zone' of plants (desert, tropical, temperate, and a changing exhibit). It's a super place.

I did find that adjusting the w/b in LR helped with the light pollution (tbh was too cold to stand around fiddling with it while taking the photos). Though looking through other flickr photos tagged with Muttart Conservatory, I saw a couple nighttime shots that made interesting use of light pollution (here and here)

In post, aside from adjusting white balance, you could try working with the color sliders in LR - drop the red and see how that affects the rest of the image, etc.?

AFAIK, there's no in-camera/exposure solution - that's why astrophotographers basically have to be in the middle of nowhere.

well, kind of.

Yup I did the colour sliders thing too, so it looks like I was mostly on track in my own attempts to combat light pollution. Good to know. I think I'm just hesitant to use too much photoshop/LR so I always assume I'm overdoing it. I don't know. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions various people.

I'm just hesitant to use too much photoshop/LR

This is me also, I want my shots to look as close to what I've seen as possible, the most I ever do to a shot is sharpen and saturate a little.

I really need to make an effort to get out more with the camera, had a bit of a dry spell since before Christmas.

Mike, that's a gorgeous shot, nothing to be embarrassed about.
To be honest, I've learn't a lot from your stream, having a nosey at peoples Exif data is quite helpful.

Thanks for the compliment btw.

OK here's a new one (not yet on flickr):

http://www.altairnouveau.com/grimace_small.jpg

I knew that I got this one right after I hit the shutter! Been feeling bold lately.

Also I continue to be in looooove with the Olympus 35 RC. It's a great little camera, and the 42mm focal length is pretty ideal most of the time.

But I played with a Petri Color 35 today and was a little jealous... aperture and shutter speed on separate dials on the top of the camera! Focus on a 3rd dial! You can use the whole thing with just your right hand.

would love to see that large on a wall

great street grab!

I've been shooting color w/ my Olympus XA2 - it's a change

Aw the XA2 is one of my favorites. Sometimes I think I'd like an XA, but then I figure if I'm gonna use a point and shoot I might as well use the one that doesn't demand focusing.
And thanks!

it is funny to imagine that something really awful has happened to the woman in that photo above, and the reaction from you all is "the 42mm focal length is pretty ideal" and "great street grab!" and "would love to see that large on a wall"... i mean, obviously we hope nothing bad has happened, but it's kind of entertaining to read the last few posts as if they were written by cold misanthropic androids.

welcome to the problems of photography, it's funny that you know what's going on in that woman's life

I got a little Diana camera for Christmas. First time I've used real film in over ten years.

First roll, still a little rusty:

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt203/pplains/chand.jpg

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt203/pplains/pyedoor.jpg

Not much to this one except it's cool because I took it at two o'clock in the morning!

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt203/pplains/2amsky.jpg

Oh I think that was actually more of a grimace in the sunlight than anything else (the look she made was really brief) but yeah, if you take pictures of strangers then you never know what they're doing or thinking. And if you've decided to take pictures of strangers then you're probably also inclined to take pictures of them when they're making unusual gestures, expressions, or just seem to be doing weird/different things or standing in a strange way or holding something unusual, etc. And then when all is said and done you end up with a photograph and are then ready to talk about "photographic" things, like the focal length of the lens, or whether or not you think a picture is "successful." Any narrative you imagine at that point is really going to be something of your own invention.

Like it's significant that a picture is of something that actually *happened* in a real place, but in the end it's still just a picture without time or context. It usually doesn't tell a story, but just shows the way things looked for an instant once from a certain perspective, inside a rectangle.

And I really do stand by the 42mm (or 40mm) focal length!

Great Diana photos too! Very nice color on those.

yeah love that look PP! I sent a roll for x-processing the other day, getting it back tomorrow.

chinavision otm, also 42mm is a boss focal length.

I wasn't criticising the voyeurism of street photography or anything like that! I just meant it was actually funny (for me) to pretend the woman was suffering, and then to read the comments in that context. When you squint, the comments could be read as if written by amoral technicians, enthusiastically dissecting the capture of human misery, or something. I understand full well that this was not the case! But, as I said, it was funny, and easy, to pretend it was.

I enjoy this thread, and there is a lot of great stuff in it!

an old one - but i saw people getting nailed with a water cannon on the news the other day in almost the same spot this shot was taken.

lol

Here's the latest from the new camera, which I am very please with.

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5212/5472196455_c15c27f79b.jpg

"pleased" wow I look illiterate

omg that is kickass

that's the leica?

are they super easy to focus. i dont really understand rangefinders.

they don't really look like 'pro' cameras so ppl feel more at ease around them, also they are more quiet, not really any easier/harder to focus than an SLR...they are much easier to focus at nighttime

at least that's why I use one nowadays

leica FOC'S

I mean I used to be as skeptical as the next guy, having used DSLRs &c before picking one up, but I really feel the leica has 'changed' the way I approach cameras & photography nowadays idk I think I drank too much kool-aid

well my FED should be something similar. will have it in a couple weeks?

but my praktica is my first camera and i feel totally affectionate and loving towards it

yah I'm not too familiar w/ the russian copies - plenty of people seem happy with em though assuming you get a good one, even if you dont get a good one there are people out there who know how to adjust it

nice winter light in chinavision's pic

anyway i bought 20rolls of 1600iso superia or something. its out of date but hopefully not lomo-blech tomfoolery level

Yeah so far I love the Leica. I have a FED 3 which I like a lot too though. I generally keep it around for B&W stuff because I have the Industrar 50mm collapsible lens which is uncoated and thus a bit diffuse looking, which means I use it to (try to) get that early diffuse Strand/Stieglietz/Steichen etc. kind of look, with marginal success. The downside with the FED is the small viewfinder and the knob advance (which yours might or might not have; they added a lever eventually). Otherwise it's a load of fun.
But I would be lying if I said that I'm not smitten with the Leica. Compared to my other (mostly compact) rangefinders, the viewfinder is large and luxurious, and is perfect for a 35mm lens. Something about it seems more conducive to just firing away rapidly too.
I also feel like a champ because I guessed the exposure for that shot. Too lazy to pull the meter out.

Also never really thought I'd be a Leica guy at this point in my life, but hey the price was right on eBay. It was actually not all *that* expensive to get a dinged up M2!

kindof want one of the selenium ones

btw that just skipped through my train of thought onto a tangent

the selenium no battery ones are nice but they are very old and many of them are not accurate at all anymore

for a small lightweight one the sekonic l-208 is pretty nice, does reflected metering pretty well (incident sucks tho)

you can also try to find an old luna sbc, they are big and heavy though but def look 'cool' in a retro-techno-fetishist way

after a while you can just 'guess' exposures with your head it gets pretty easy

yeah im starting to get there!

superia 1600 is a good fast film, you can also try 800 - just remember that you want to err on the side of overexposure

but its like somebody asked me to maybe do a wedding and i was like "?" also at work i showed the owner this photo i took of some cake

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181922_10150092299580829_530205828_6763210_948174_n.jpg

and was all "hey why dont you take our photos" but idk they might not even bother giving me money i can be such a pushover.

i mean ive been using boots film which is fine and cheap but this was £47 for 20 36exp rolls incl. delivery

Actually I used a selenium Gossen Pilot until I snapped the incident cover in cold weather. Now I use a Gossen Luna Pro (retrofitted for modern batteries) that I got on craigslist. The pilot was accurate, but as with all selenium meters it was useless in low light, when you'd probably need a meter most. Both were very cheap craigslist finds, by the way.

xposts, that is. Also I use sunny f/16 sometimes, but realized that it's been coming out a bit wrong lately because it's winter!

i basically never move the aperture out of 2.8

Terrified one of my friends will ask me to do wedding photog duties someday. Dodging it on the next one, as it would be difficult to act as officiant and photographer.

are they super easy to focus. i dont really understand rangefinders.

Classic rangefinder-style shooting is primarily done with 28, 35 and 50mm lenses in a reportage style, rather than close-up portraits or telephoto work - depth of field is greater, and absolute sharpness really isn't supreme. Most of the talk of the wonders of Leica glass is nonsense (to make it to print, there are too many steps along the way for that special 3D pop to justify a $6k lens) and the real magic of the system is how you can work with it, for the reasons folks have mentioned.

the other thing i wonder is does the fed have the leica weird sound or does it just sound like a normal camera. like to what extent are they ripping it off. its like i want to use this fed to understand man

It won't sound like a normal SLR, there's no mirror to move to make the ka-chunk sound. But it's not exactly like a Leica either - the Soviet RFs used metal shutters, IIRC, that make them a little louder than Leicas.

I think the FED sounds more like a slap, the Leica more like a click.

im so excited now!

All this talk made pull out the FED tonight btw.

Downloaded the trial of Silver Efex Pro 2 plugin for Lightroom 3, trying to figure out how to work with it (in terms of when to sharpen, adjust curves, etc.. Also you have to export out of LR3 as a TIFF - I'm setting it at 360dpi when I do so, because that's the native resolution of Epson printers, or it can be downsampled to 300dpi for other printing options). This is Tri-X with the High Structure setting, selenium toned.

The 'filed negative carrier' border options are kind of cheesy, I'd never use them for a real print, but I feel like a thin black border of any kind really helps photos displayed online.

That's terrific. I'm pro black borders too. Just have to avoid putting them on photos of the kids we upload to Flickr (we later just transfer to Snapfish for prints).

I just developed a roll of colour film that I'd been taking pictures with for the last year.
I much prefer this one after I went into photoshop and fiddled with curves and made it black and white:

beautiful colors! interesting bokeh

I'll add another from my most recent film roll.
This was taken during the Edinburgh Festival last year:

Waving From Telephone Boxes by treefell, on Flickr

Oh, for a super-zoom for the super-moon; the old manual-focus Hanimex 80-200mm (five quid from a guy in Lewisham a couple of years ago) had to do, leaving me with not very many pixels to play with.

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5540694201_38af2b33a6.jpg

Had a go myself, would love a 500mm or more.

Super Moon by carljgodwin, on Flickr

Yeah, I was hankering after one of those catadioptric (mirror) 500mm+ lenses for a while, simply because they're compact, light and cheap. Seems like shooting the moon might be one of the few things you could use them for (fixed at f/8, dark viewfinder, very narrow FoV, donut-shaped bokeh, manual focus).

Think the shots I took the other night with the 135mm Zeiss were actually a bit sharper, but the lower magnification meant that I had even fewer pixels to play with and the blow-up was worse. Above photo is a 563x563 crop (0.3MP!). Certainly wouldn't print it. Maybe work as a badge?

I took a shot of the moon with one of my 300mm lenses last night. I was shooting in jpeg without realizing it so it's not as sharp as the RAW version would have been.
This is my favourite - a 680x680 crop (so it's fairly large):

Really struggling for ideas at the moment and feel completely uninspired. Anyone else get this and if so, whet do you do about it.

kind of want to post pics to this thread but my tech stuff isn't at your levels. just building up.

not_goodwin, i liked your pics of the sky with all the jet traces. i remember that day in mcr.

not_goodwin, whenever I'm stuck for inspiration on anything I read poetry, but it has to be kickass poetry. A+ poetry totally gives you new eyes on the world. Can recommend the Bloodaxe anthologies Being Alive and Staying Alive.

Whatever, post away. are you on flickr?
Everybody's building up and learning here, I don't think anyone here would claim to have mastered the art of photography (yet).

Zora, thank you, I'll definitely check those out. I tend to look at other peoples photography/work for ideas, never thought about using written word as inspiration for visuals.

omg it looks like (s)he's standing right on the edge of a cliff.

(s)he's? Can't you see his little willy?

ah I wasn't looking for (s)her cock

Not technically all that, but I've long wanted to capture one or both of the kids excitedly exploring Crystal Palace station... tiny kids, grand building...

Arrgh! Ctrl-C before you Ctrl-V, yeah?

That one's great. The shadow on the stairs, the colours on the platform, the Ziggy Stardust brickwork, the green coat and the nervous descent... well done.

Give yourself a goal - carry a camera with you all the time or set aside
Alternately, a project. I've decided I want to document the run up to my friends' wedding and turn it into a book for them. (not the wedding photographer, thank god, since I'm the officiant."

Ahem - or set aside x amount of time per week to shoot. Visualize what you want to do and your end-goal - online display vs prints etc.

irritatingly proud/boastful of this one
