The light is great in that one!

The plan was to walk from Maze Hill to Cutty Sark DLR along the path before the sun set but Ava said "This is beautiful. Can we go on the beach?" It was almost completely dark when we finally left.

i am really into that, michael. you are i think the only person whose film & digital work i have trouble distinguishing between? either because you're good at scanning prints or else because your digital work is effective, i don't know. i am london agnostic but it looks really nice being where you were.

Thank you! I do very little scanning of my own, so I think it's probably because I put a gentle S-curve on everything I shoot digitally.

Not a great shot, but, damn, Kristin Hersh came to my local bookshop and did the world launch of the new Muses record!

Not sure I actually like this photograph but I keep being drawn back to it. Bit more saturated than I'd normally go for, and quite busy with nothing really there.

i like how abstract it is

also schlump i didn't say this last time but i really love the bike + hand upthread. great balance

yeah, michaellambert, I like that one - the shadows are doing just the right work across the ground, giving this little slice of light to work the frame within a frame...it's groovy. And I think the saturation looks great, not OTT at all.

Thanks guys. Was really nice light that day. It's turning so quickly now - around 4pm there was some really nice light coming in through the office windows, not long after 5pm it was dark.

Just getting the hang of the new camera. ISO 25600, you gotta be kidding me...

Set the video for Magnum...

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3774/10659144803_7ac304399b_z.jpg

A couple of DSLR generations ago that would have been ISO1600 or ISO3200 at a push!

Fireworks aftermath is great.

Inevitably, there are more.

v nice

what ISO?

All 1600, I think. I've done some very light processing in Lightroom, but not much.

I went down to some pretty short shutter speeds, there's one or two in the Flickr set at 1/3200. Others more around the 1/200 - 1/800 mark.

from some recent scanning

btw mj, that photo's really nice and makes me realize that I tend to take really lazy pictures of my parents. which I ought to change.

chinavision, I have a shot of the same sunset, if that date's accurate! Yours is a lot more convincing, though.

Love the colours in that waverley station shot!

the date is accurate. I was walking home across the brooklyn bridge and it seemed that everyone suddenly realized that the light was turning extremely beautiful. lots of slowing down and photographing all around. I shot a whole roll on the bridge.

I shot a whole roll on the bridge.

Seconded on Waverley - terrific.

hella good
text, watertower, subway

positive film is magical when you pull out a roll and see all the pictures you took just right there staring at you. unfortunately I cannot scan it for shit.

schlump all of your 'graphs have such good weight

you make me never want to take an evans full-frontal picture ever again

Just another pic of the eldest, but the first time I've put the manual focus Zeiss 135mm on the new camera. ISO 10000 to get the shutter speed indoors...

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7390/11018585236_1da781c0cf_b.jpg

Crazy how ISO10000 looks better there than I remember 1600 looking a few camera generations ago.
