gbx, that's stunning, where were you?

Mr Jones, nice work as always, that B&W from the road is amazing.

Change of location from last week, few thousand miles to the south...

thanks guys

that's from nevados de chillan, in chile -- i was on a ski mountaineering trip with buddies (pictured)

After a few weeks struggling with a dying laptop I went crazy and bought a Mac so I'm catching up on Flickr uploads. Forgive me if I just image-bomb this thread...

1st one looks like the beginnings of a hammer house of horror film, 2nd is just elegant!

Amazing what you can see away from the orange glow of cities...

It's just a flower shot but the colours are just gorgeous straight out of the Fuji...

And when I'm not doing that, I've left the "custom" mode on the X-M1's dial set to contrasty B&W...

Those colours are insane, didn't you adjust anything?

Another from Skye, very early start, had to stop and take this when came round the corner. Got a funny feeling in my belly quite a few times up there, it's so beautiful.

Oh, I did the usual in Lightroom - but I've just opened it and wiped out the vibrance and...it's basically the same insane colours. My clarity boost helps intensify it a bit.

I borrowed a Fuji 56/1.2 for the weekend. OMG.

Tonight's Moon, I'll be 60 when the next super lunar blood thing happens...

Marvellous!

Wow!

that's a belter, amaing stuff

Makes me wish I'd hired a 400mm and set the alarm for 3:30am... but I still wouldn't have got that.

More Union Chapel fun...

I'm mixing that very same Ex Easter Island Head performance right now, the other guy's music is horrible though.

Barabbas? Yeah, pretty bad. He didn't even do the aerial splits as he did at his last appearance, citing a bad back. "It's Daylight 200, who cares if it's your last gig?" I don't think he thought that was funny.

Let's have some more of the Fuji 56/1.2...

Great stuff as always!

Thanks!

That last one is out of the meeting room window in our office. There's an entire building gone between Soho Sq and Oxford Circus and its demolition has been the reason we've had periods of 85-90dB drilling noise. I thought I better document it now that the very last wall on that block has gone. Put some images to the misery.

Some more lovely Fujiness.

Suffered for this one, Midges were a nightmare. Taken from Elgol look over towards The Cuillin mountains.

beautiful land/sea/skyscapes, not_goodwin

And yet you took the time to clone all the midges out of the photo. That's dedication to the craft. ;)

They were all on my face...

No Midges here...

Smooooth.

I don't usually post photos of my kids in here, but I don't suppose many - if any - of you frequent the parenting board, so what the hell..

These are two not-quite-SOOC B&W JPEGs with the Fuji 35/1.4; name-calling single shots... ("Hey, Ava...", etc)

They're great, that's an amazing lens.

here's one from 2014 actually, but from nearby the Israel/Syria border

chinavision! i like the sense of light in yr photos, the way you use underillumination

thanks - that's really something I've sort of adjusted to over time. I used to err on the side of overexposure and only gradually started to allow photos to become darker. basically I stopped worrying about underexposure, and if something is a dim negative, I allow it to stay that way through to the end.

this being one example

<3 that

btw do you do anything with the photos that you shoot? there were those couple that you posted a while back, but I don't think I ever saw any others? I liked them.

ty
not yet, tho someday i might
i have private password-protected website i stimes work on for my own amusement & don't show anyone (lol, eyeroll)
yeah i shd post more here. maybe ilp shd have outpost thread on 77.

Do you have an idea of publishing the site/doing anything else w the photos in the future? Do other people see them in any way?

i do consider possibility of going 'public' in some form or other (e.g. via website or tumblr) at some point, but currently reluctant/ unprepared to do so

also have idea of self-publishing some books someday maybe

Do other people see them in any way?

friends & family have seen a few
stimes i think my photolab developer(s) know me better than anyone :)

Yeah, that's great.

It's really good.

I'm just doing the usual of snapping hoardings and through shop windows on my lunch break / commute home in the absence of any subjects or going anywhere interesting.

That 1st one reminds me of the split lens technique they used in the 60's & 70's, the 3rd must be the most depressing sign to some lonely folk...

Another from my little road trip in September. Hoping to go again in March if I get the time.
