Thanks. That's the lobby of my apartment building, and that's vomit (99% sure). Public vomit is not as upsetting when its color and setting are interesting.

Looks like someone had too much red wine. Or they have serious stomach issues.

Anyway here's another none sunset shot from the Lake District.

Lovely.

This could be the start of something. Feeling entirely uninspired on Wednesday (I only had the 40D with me cos I was supposed to shoot a portrait at work), I decided to shoot from ground level around Soho. So, #1: walls. Wish I'd shot at f/11 or something as the shallow DoF doesn't do this sort of thing any favours. Collage in Picasa...

Wonderful, evocative shot, Je55e. I love the work that's been posted here in the past week or so.

I haven't really linked to it anywhere, but judging by the view count some people seem to like this one:

lake district at the weekend. wedding.

Very nice! Love the haziness and diffuse light.

I also really dig that dog shot. Positioning, shadows etc. are top notch!

dog is very moriyama-ish!

Thanks, everyone. What's she holding in her right hand?

Pretty happy with this. I'm slowly learning how to get better at scanning my negatives so that I can get the sort of tonal ranges I want. I'm also getting better at guessing a wider range of light conditions, which is very satisfying.

yeah there's something very satisfying about developing a roll that you shot w/o using a light meter

when in doubt, overexpose! after understanding how these films work I think you can overexpose by 2, 3 4 stops, maybe even 5 or 6 and still be okay. unfortunately scanners can't quite punch through overexposure yet but you can get good prints in the darkroom. just look at ralph gibson.

Oh yeah I overexpose like crazy. And I can compensate for at least 3-4 stops in the scanner. I just had to learn how to turn some auto detection off. That allows me to scan beyond the edge of the frame as well without everything going haywire.

I have sworn an oath that for one week, I will take no pictures in color, not a single one from any camera, under any circumstance. I need to take more control over my camera, and getting a better feel for the basics of light metering and reading the histogram seems like a good place to start. So this is my best shot from Day One.

Both great shots.

Wondered around Media City in Salford, some nice buildings.

You are good at this.

I really like that one. Much better in colour than B&W.

This one has been getting attention:

favorited!

I'm not surprised kenan, nice work!

Nothing special, but I'm trying to get back in the game:

Black and white week came and went so fast. I put in overtime last night, though -- until a cop kicked me out of Lincoln Park, in fact. Which has never happened before. I didn't even know they could do that.

Anyway. There's this.

Took a while ago. Felt bad about it, but everyone else was there with their phones. Guy pulled out of the canal after falling in drunk.

Not that clear but was just trying to catch the moment without being morbid.

ooooh i love the dragon tortoise xxp

wow that's a morbid pic! (good on ya for capturing it tho - not something you see everyday)

Nice perspective kenan, why did you get kicked out?

Proger, strong stuff, not sure if i could bring myself to capture that.

Really like this, not sure why though. It reminds me of a film, but i don't know which...

can almost imagine you are on the roof and those are skylights

Just realised my photo is teal & orange :(

Some good pics on here, Feel bad that I had to show a dead dude. Have some film to use up, will try and get shots this weekend, but then they'll sit in my fridge forever as I am between jobs. But you've still inspired me.

What do people think of this one? http://completelyinthedark.com/main.php?g2_itemId=1514

It is the only pic I have ever taken that I have put on the wall. It was film and taken in India, I saw the man walking past and literally leapt from the taxi door to snap. Was well chuffed when it came out. But is it any good.
My nephews treat it as where's wally, (waldo) as the day before I met the guy (I presume the same guy) elsewhere and took his pic, but he asked for 50 rupees. See? http://completelyinthedark.com/main.php?g2_itemId=14012
These are up here on an india thread, but as I have three beers in me, I have the guts to ask for feedback.

Cheers

Just had a look through some of your shots Proger, nice work indeed.

Another one from the lakes, it really is a beautiful place.

I like this kid. I thought I was taking a picture of the newspaper in front of his face, but he reacted quickly and gave me this look.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6082/6094689091_a9f5980f49_z.jpg

He looks like that Napoleon Dynamite, I would paste an appropriate quote, but I don't know the movie so well

That's to your credit, IMO.

Wow, now that you mention it!

also trying to like some photos of things that are not just my friends being posers

I like my photos lately!
Using my dad's old Rollei 35 he just gave me.

good shots! hey does the film advance crank swing back automatically after advancing on your rollei or do you have to nudge it

yr photos are the greatest, chinavision. meant to say so last time you posted up the kinda jeff-wall-ish pic of some bystanders looking up. am doing my usual thing of thinking i need a rollei 35!, but they're so neatly composed.

& i love your colour studies plax

Chinavision, that's great!

Coupla randoms...

Thanks everyone!
The Rollei is really a whole lot of fun, and I'm telling myself now that I do not need any more 35mm cameras. At. All. I think the Rollei has got to be the last one in, and I can start shedding those that I don't use much anymore.
The advance crank swings back on its own just fine. It's also one of the more pleasing advances I've used. There is a really satisfying final click when you've pulled it out all the way. It's not smooth like a Leica, but it is fun to use. Plus, left thumb!
