Photos you have taken in the last month of which you are proud?

I still like this even though I (badly) metered it by eye in crappy light, then had to take a rough stab at the developing time after accidentally stopping the clock.

and a couple from pottering around town with the digi this afternoon. All linked from Insta, so excuse the lousy resolution.

They’re really good Jeremy. Love the first two especially as they are just great ‘moments’ that belong to be captured and they are great captures of a moment that would not have lasted long.

The portrait is nicely lit and well balanced in B&W but I think you’ve used quite a wide angle lens perhaps? What was it, roughly 35mm equivalent? Her nose is pretty exagerated and it’s not flattering her. That’s not your fault obviously.

Wouldn’t look out of place in a lifestyle magazine. Bear in mind that Eleanor is only 17 and on her second ever photoshoot!

Thanks for your comments Greg. I personally like the one with the girls as they look very happy and carefree!

Agree about the portrait – it was taken with a Fuji X100 which has a fixed 28mm so is obviously not the right kit for a flattering portrait 🙁 FWIW I was aiming for something else, but probably failed!

The long way home

A phone photo thru the very dirty windows at Boggle Hole YHA. I’m quite pleased with it as the dust has added a mysterious feel to it.

It’s 35mm equivalent, I think, but yes, that’s wide enough to mean you’re standing close enough to get distortion.

I don’t claim to be a fantastic photographer, but this photo below makes me smile, and I was very happy with the outcome!

Story behind it – My much better half loves the film ‘Pride and Prejudice’. Hence spending an evening up on Stanage Edge trying to recreate this shot from the film – (Keira Knightley by the way)

And this was our attempt, just taken on a iPhone

Handyman you just discoverd that it’s far better to be a passionate photographer than a technically capable one!

This. Times a MILLION. You can have the best equipment money can buy, and still be a terrible photographer. It is not about what camera you have, it’s what you do with it.

Anyway, rant over. I’ve been learning how to process 35mm film in a dark room this week, and then scanning the negatives to import them into Lighroom.

You looking at me ?

Taken a few nights ago in the moonlight. Worth opening up in Flickr for a snoop around the landscape. The light in some of the other pics beats daylight for showing off the mountains.

Nope, can’t link Flickr images using Apple phone or tablets

I really wish I hadn’t cropped the fee off this gentleman. It would have been much better not to.

Apologies to Schindler’s List , I had no idea. Picking out the red umbrella against a washed out image was Mrs_D’s idea

Oh no need to apologise. It’s a great shot; it honestly doesn’t need the red picking out.

Thank you 😳

Love your latest work Greg, especially the contrast of the colours between the subject and the backdrop, really grabbed my attention.

Anyway, I’m continuing to get to grips with my Fuji X-Pro 1

Love your latest work Greg, especially the contrast of the colours between the subject and the backdrop, really grabbed my attention.

Thankyou so much for saying so. Genuinely it means a lot to get that kind of feedback. Not sure what clicked recently, whether it’s just the effect of working with film and a very different camera but I feel like my ‘colour palette’ has developed recently.

A few more just because it’s a Sunday morning.

Love those colours TofD. Which lens are you using?

Can only echo TOD’s comments Greg. Nice work.
Andy, haven’t forgotten about the conversation re. prints, still thinking about it!

Around town yesterday with the point-and-shoot

Bob by Greg Turner

Love that photo !

Greg, I think it’s those big blocks of primary colours, that really makes it stand out. It’s a punchy, bold look, but I love it and it makes me want to stop and look, which in itself is a winning strategy.

The Hasselblad is certainly working it’s magic. Are you using Kodak Portra 400 btw ? I’ve acquired a Bronica Zenza, so doing some research on film types.

Websites looking good as well. Not too fussy, crowded or difficult to navigate. All of which I hate with a passion. Nice and clean and simple, with the pictures being the focus, not the website.

Kiwijohn. I have a Fuji xf 35mm WR f2 lens on the X-pro1. Lovely lens, just need to save up for an 18mm to go with it.

Are you using Kodak Portra 400 btw

I am indeed. I did try a few other colour emulsions recently including Kodak Ektar and Fuji Pro NS but they come out far too saturated for my liking.

Today’s ride

Thanks TofD. The 23mm 1.4 is my prime of choice on my XT1.
I’m saving up for the 16mm 1.4, mainly for auroras.
