very nice.

nice indeed. when were you in nyc?

i wondered whether that might be coastal nj. tones are beautiful, also - were these developed using your new mad-scientist calculations over timing?

fantastic -- they look completely out of time.

going through some recent ones I'd missed:

that's brilliant.

wow

Not at the same level as you guys, but I went to New York a few weeks ago and took some photos:

they're rad! v frenetic. the colourful ones look like paintings.
is that from the cable car, btw?

yep, looking back at Roosevelt Island

Third one down is great!

agreed - obviously it's great subject matter but you nailed it on composition and exposure.

lovely shots, seandalai

I've been messing with some diptychs lately for the hell of it, since realizing that so many shots exist in a couple useable variations. I dunno, and I dig the way they look I guess. I guess I've established two tiers of photo finishing now, with the stand alone color pictures on one level and the uncropped untreated stuff on the other (series stuff, diptychs, and b&w).

Haven't been out to shoot much, but one of my gf being annoyed that I have the camera out again.

Was happy with this, taken when out flying/postering a gig.

old

had sorta forgotten about the person in the LLQ and now i'm feeling p terrible. dude was right there.

how have you liked the 25mm on your E-M5, milo? I've read some people complain about chattering aperture blades.

I picked up the tiny 14mm prime for a song and have found that it's better than it has any right to be, for the size and price.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7257/7542531706_6ffabed3a7_z.jpg

that's lovely, gbx. muted like a painting. you were shooting digital then, right?

The 25mm is great. It's been quiet for me most of the time but after I mounted it on a tripod, it chattered a bit. I think it's because the camera went to sleep or something.

If it chattered that loudly all the time it would be unusable IMO, but as long as its a random thing nbd.

thanks, schlump! and yeah, digital. was going through old stuff for a presentation last night and (i hate talking like this about my own stuff but) was surprised that yeah, it really did come out painterly. lots of draped cloth. "classical" subject (doctors attending a patient) but with an intrusive cameraman (my bro)

also for real i did not remember that there was a guy on the floor, grasping at the doctor's coat

or is that his, i can't tell tbh

It never ceases to amaze me how difficult photographing food is. You need just precisely the right highlights, the right fill, the right white balance (if the meat looks blue, or even naturally lit, you're just going to gross people out), the right everything. These are very lovely strawberries, but I still count this as a lucky shot.

ha ha i figured it was his! i hope so. i think we can probably figure this out by mimicking his stance & observing (just not in the mirror, it'll get more confusing)

btw i just broke a development drought & am gonna bomb this thread & my log as soon as i've spent an evening glassily scanning

rad! your phots are so distinctive, clean & sharp.

Checking out the forum for the first time because I just returned from vacation with family at a underwater macro paradise just after my digicam flooded, and now I've got camera lust. The other diving parties were taking down $6-$9k kits, and I had a cheap rental digicam with no RAW, no IS and an AF that insisted on targeting sand behind the subject. Just a few keepers, like:

Uranoscopus sulphureus at night.

Ended up picking up a Olympus XZ-1 as my new compact/UW tool, which has a nice 2.0-2.5 lens, but after my research I've got O-MD E-M5 lust. Nice camera, expensive/but nice m 4/3 lenses. The chatter from the 25mm 1.8 prime (according to other forums) for m 4/3 is from aperture searching in auto. Shoot aperture priority or manual and you won't hear it.

The chattering on various bodies/lenses comes from the lens changing apertures to suit light conditions via the EVF or rear screen (so that going from dark to light or vice-versa wouldn't overwhelm the sensor/screen).

It was a big problem on the XPro-1 and 35mm to start with, they updated with a firmware change to slow the aperture shifts. Olympus could conceivably do the same on all their bodies (only the Panasonic fast lenses seem to chatter with Olympus bodies) but they don't have a real incentive to suit people buying lenses from Pansonic, I suppose. Except for the gaping hole between 24mm and 90mm equivalent from them.

The OM-D is boss, BTW. Only gripe right now is that I want the grip to make it easier on my hands and that only comes with a battery extender that I don't want/need, so it's a $350 grip.

In a graveyard in St Andrews. Surprised it's held up so well to whatever they cut the grass with.

I like that!

Photo wang friend of mine commented that he knew I got a new camera bc of the flesh tones and how true the colors are right out of the box. I don't do much w/ PS, so this was nice confirmation (I'm color blind fyi, but they seemed "better" to me than not)

Lovely, as ever. What were you using before? And what lenses do you tend to use? I know you're the master of the ultra-wide front-of-stage shot.

What struck me about the 5D2, when I borrowed it for a weekend, was how it seemed to just get stuff right - like tricky metering situations or bounced flash. A camera that's cleverer than I am. I need one of those.

beautiful, michael lambert.

Thanks guys!

The colours in that first photo are very nice, more NPZ800?

thanks!

no, its Provia 400x, cross-processed.

despite being hella expensive ($12/roll, plus professional developing+scanning since drug stores won't do it for you) its still my favorite way to shoot color-- ive posted a few other examples upthread i think.

man yeah they're lovely. there's something so funny w/slide, with the colours obviously looking too full on and vivid to be realistic, but also being really evocative of the texture and variegation of surfaces. the surf in the first picture, &c.

recent phots: not embedding because i think they're kinda big:

one more, same roll, more surf, less dude:

A few more things I'm happy with, hope no-one minds...

"What were you using before?"

5D vrs 1. the 2 came out about 9 months after I bought my 1 and I tend to go every other generation w/ my purchases.

"And what lenses do you tend to use?"

16-35 almost always. I have a 24-70 but I find it... unextraordinary. I'm looking at the 70-200
