@ geetee, it's GSW690iii. Very simple camera with just aperture, speed & focus to play with.
I use a Sekonic 208 meter in the hotshoe for metering. Film was Kodak Portra 400.
Had the converted infrared camera out again today...

@JOHNCLIMBER; That top shot is brilliant.
Nice soft light at 6 this morning on the beach as the sea mist slowly lifted (only to become cloudy by 9am). Did a bit of work and then played with my new fisheye and b&w mode on the camera.

The story attached to this image is fairly frank but it has been 'published' with permission from the subject.
I think that's your finest yet Greg.
Down in Weymouth last weekend I passed this black bike parked in the bright sunshine next to a white wall acting as a natural reflector.
I could have chosen to have the bike darker but I like the effect of the background burning out and the detail you can see. On the full size image the detailing is stunning. (I like bikes.)

Do you think so? Thank you for saying so. I wasn't sure but I will happily take the accoldae. Probably I don't deserve it having been such a **** on the 'mobile phone's killing compact cameras' thread.
Yes, for me the best yet. The back story made the difference. Just ambient lighting? I'd think so from your text on Flickr.
Heres two photos, now the weather is better and not so stormy we are having some tremendous sunsets and views.

My first attempt at an self taken action shot. 10s delay, run back to the bike, jump on and try and time it right ... worked out quite well for once.

Hmmm, waterfalls....I haven't done one for a while, but love the long exposure effect.

Kit that is quite spectacular. Apart from liking it very much I can also appreciate how difficult that shot must have been to get. The lines of symetry are nigh on perfect and make it look like a glassy reflection in a perfectly still lake. What lens are you using? There is almost no distortion so either you've done that in post or used a very good lens.
I haven't shot any 'street portraits' for about a month now as i've been doing more formal portraits of people I know. I did a session yesterday afternoon with a friend and her daughter and this is the one I like the best from that series:

But I did also pop into the local skate park as the sun was going down and got this one (around 7.30pm).

Thanks Greg! The lens is a 14mm f/2.8 Samyang. It's got tons of distortion until you apply a profile in LR, and then I manually did some more corrections. The image, though, is largely unchaged from the original. I managed to nail it in the capture. Here's the original with no processing other than applying the lens profile.

P.S. Got a 55/1.8 on the way 🙂
Taking biking shots in a group is always difficult as nobody can really be arsed, but managed to capture a couple of good ones last week.
