Quite pleased with this one yesterday. Just taken on my HTC:

Enjoying seeing the autumnal pics on here. I haven’t been out enough recently, been busy with the new addition to the family

Although we did manage an evening at the tram museum

I probably broke all the rules about taking pictures into the light with no filters, but I liked the spontenaiety of this.

I like that mcmoonter, rules schmules. The highlight being burnt out means it adds a sense of mystery about what might be up the path.

Shoot for the moon:

you can clicky for bigger, so you can actually see the moon. Would have been nice to get the rust on the cannon sharp as well as the moon, but no tripod.

And now I’ve stuck it up here, it’s not a great composition. Doing nicely as a fb cover pic at the moment, though, and I like the soft colours.

So long as you like it, to hell with everyone else 😉

This epitomises the kind of photographs I enjoy most; candid captures of people in their environment.

cheers Geetee. Yes, mood of the place changes, on a mist morning on the way to work it’s peaceful, on the way home with falling light, wind and rain it’s lonely.. Used a soft grad ND2 to bring the sky down a bit.

So a few weeks ago I made a crazy impulse purchase of a second hand Contax G2 with a Zeiss 35mm f/2 planar lens. I actually in Clock Tower Cameras in Brighton because I’d discovered an old roll of film from 2003 I wanted to get developed, so having gone in there to get that done, I suddenly found myself handling this gorgeous camera and thinking I had to have it.

New, it would have cost around £1700 and this one was prinstine; it looks brand new although it wasn’t boxed. I paid £450 for it with a flash figuring that if it didn’t work out as a fun retro project I could probably get most of the money back on eBay.

It’s been an interesting experience shooting film again. It definitely makes you think a lot more about the shot you’re about to take, not least because making the picture has an actual cost unlike digital, so it focuses the mind.

The lack of more immediate gratification is also interesting. I don’t mean seeing the image on the camera’s LCD but rather having to wait a few weeks to see anything whereas with digital you get home and start PP almost immediately.

It’s also very interesting to see how other people react to the camera. Because it’s film people suddenly feel less intimidated and in many cases are hugely interested to the point where one or two people actually asked me to take their picture.

The results are interesting and while they do show up the massive limitations shooting with film places on the final image (ISO800 looks very different here than on digital!) the ‘look’ is perhaps best described as being ‘the original full frame’.

Love that millstones shot.

Greg Turner – some great shots there. I’m back in my fathers old house next weekend doing a clear out. There’s a load of old photographic equipment – planning on spending some time playing with film again 🙂

Some amazing photos as always. Don’t normally have stuff to share, but
I was in Hong Kong last week with a couple of days free to roam.
Here are my favs:

I like the abstraction in these multiple reflections in my studio windows,

Winter light through my studio door.

Hey Geetee congrats on the film, this the start of your journey to becoming a film fundamentalist?

Seriously, enjoy it, even the limitations it puts on things.
Its no longer “noise”, now it’s grain!

I started with film as a kid, then went digi when i picked up a camera again, ?4 years back. (doing a 365 project on here).

If the grain bugs you then next step is medium format and ISO100 film, Ilford ?.

2 days in the Lakes

And today

Bugger, I thought I’d found a fix for the Flickr/mobile Safari linking issue, by using DuckDuckGo, but the URL it gives doesn’t seem to produce an image on here, just an empty box. 😡

Can i make flickr work from my iPad..?

Above seems timeless somehow. Texture, tone, authenticity – something or other just outside my vocabulary – 6foot print material!

Now that the dark nights are upon us it’s making me think differently when I take photographs.I took this one yesterday afternoon at Rivington,totally different circumstance to taking photos just a few weeks ago..

Turner, Skies, evokes.. 🙂

Polarisandy is on form!

I recently had a load of shots from 2003 scanned. OK that means they aren’t in the last month but they were scanned this week! They were all taken on a pretty basic Nikon SLR, most likely with Kodak T-Max 400

Well it’s a photo of a photo I took in 95. Mt Fyffe Downhill in NZ, 1300m in 8km. Proper downhill.

This guy kept following the camera, posing all the time. Really pleased with the composition and detail of this.

While personally indifferent to this kind of thing, I know it’s more of a crowd pleaser:

Not great quality and not a patch on the above but it kind of captures how blummin cold it was last Saturday
