yay, photography! (thumbnails or links only, pls.)

[woonie]

Okay since the last photography thread is locked, and a small request on how to run the next one, here's the new photography thread.

New rule:
Thumbnails and/or links only.

That's all.

So to start this thread off:


Anoushka Shankar performing at the Birmingham Town Hall.

Here are just a couple of pictures I took right after all of the snow melted at Belvedere Beach in Charlevoix, MI...

My backyard, taken with my Meopta Flexaret Automat VI TLR, 120 format film.

This is neat.  I like the lighting from the upper area

[jmrz]

Here are some I've taken recently, they all link back to my flickr page, so click for big!

[öde]

Delicious colours on the last two, Jamie!

Concert warmups in stagelight makes some pretty great motives! A trio of accordion, violin and cello was playing stuff by Bach, Ravel and Gubaidulina, and I got permission to mess around before the concert while they were warming up and checking stagelights, so I ran over with my film-based and shot some photos. I am pretty pleased with how they turned out (but I fucking hate my scanner, so much duuust and so much scratching argh).









I also discovered taking an un-posed picture of a person playing accordion is really, really hard.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

those are fantastics, Jens. i espescially like the last two.

[Jeans]

Thanks!

[crohnsy]

A few recent pics.






clicker for bigger

[trr005]

Wow, I love the second picture of the waterfall Chrohn

[facadeparade]

Jealousy.
First of all, I want to rape the cello.
Second of all- what kind of film camera did you use? My minolta would probably die of exhausting attempting that.

[rathercheeky]

Nothin' special. Just thought Butt [ yes that's his real name ] looked cute by the flowers.





And one of the flowers by themselves [ except a Butt paw ].

It's just a really cheap camera, about twenty years old, inherited from my parents when they jumped the analogue ship - Canon EOS 10, with 400ISO Tri-X film.

[jmrz]

Here are some photos I took yesterday! The boy and I went to the beach and had fish and chips for lunch and we wandered about and he followed me around while I took pictures.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD



(taken last night in a field in Norfolk, England. Obviously, the world did not end.)

[Jeans]

That first photo is amazing.

[parm]

That first photo is amazing.

Thankee kindly. I very much like the lighting in your orchestra pics too. I havent' done B&W film for too long; I had a bathroom studio set up and everything, I should do it again someday.

(I'm a bit alarmed to note that the left hand side of my pics seem a bit soft; that lens wasn't cheap...  )

[trr005]

That first photo is amazing.

Photoshop may or may not have been involved in these. The first two are from a juggling show at the Fargo street fair, the second is from laying in the park in May.

[Jeans]

My friends, perusing curiosities at the British Science Museum in London. Back to shooting digital... Feels odd after working nearly exclusively with film since April.

[jmrz]

Here are some more of my Project365 photos, as always, you can click on them for bigger versions and to check out the rest of them.

[Jeans]

I am starting a new photo project today - 365 pictures forthcoming, one per day for one year, no matter what. I'm not going to post all of them here obviously, but figured I'd mention it if anyone's interested in taking a look. First shot is a portrait of my sister, which she hated and I am not entirely pleased with, but I think it turned out OK.

[The Cheesinator]

I hope I'm not being overly forward by adding many pictures in one go.







Some friends of mine on the streetcar at night, hence the darkness.

[Jeans]

I guess this is kind of a self portrait. Those of you who are familiar with Paolo Pellegrin will recognise the use of backlit hands! Doing hands is, in photography as well as painting and drawing, the hardest anatomy by far - not so much depicting it realistically in photography, but more making them look like items with a certain visual force or power, I think I pulled it off decently although the photoshop job is terrible.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

instead of linking to a bunch of pictures, i'll just link to my gallery at DA because it's simpler and i'm tired.

the first seven or eight are the new ones i was planning on showing specifically but i guess you can look at the other ones too, if you want.

[orangepeas]

click any picture and it will take you to my flickr page.

[Liz]

As usual, clicky for bigger:

[parm]

So, I've been dicking around with extreme macro effects. This is the crema off a shot of espresso:



I also did a bit of dicking around with off-camera flash. This is some flowers, illuminated in an unconventional manner:

[Jeans]

First one is really nice, Liz. I imagine a band posing in the middle!

[Liz]

Probably a metal band for maximum irony. (It is a really old church).

Thanks Jens!

[Jeans]

I was thinking something along these lines, but okay, if ironic metal is your thing then more power to you

[Liz]

Oh wow that is pretty ridiculous. I cannot listen, as I am in class, but the visuals were striking enough.

[Jeans]

You must watch it when you get home.

[Liz]

Oh I will. I think I will actually download it right now because our internet is balls.

[Liz]

So hey double post. Bite me. I have a photo!

[ampersandwitch]

I really like the position of the hand and the feeling of protection.  Did you use any filters?  What was the weapon of choice?

[Allybee]

I just scanned a bunch of old photos to put on an online portfolio (sending it to schools that aren't art schools). it is to show them that I actually do things other than sitting around with my friends watching gossip girl (cough).

from oldest to newest!

sophomore year: 1 2

about a year ago, you might have seen this one already: 3

first (and still favorite I think) polaroid emulsion: 4

peoples' backs in france, taken last february: 5 6 7

a stranger's baby, last spring: 8


rrghh this makes me so nervous. I'm not necessarily applying as an art major so I am trying to calm down but having people look at my work makes me so antsy. I will probably spend all night rescanning/touching up, I think I need to scan at a higher resolution maybe?

[Jeans]

Pics 1 and 7,

[Liz]

No filters at all, that is straight from the camera. And I used my little compact digital as always! It is all I have.

[elcapitan]

I get paid to make coffee. It's fun. And then I get to take photos of it.

(It's a link, click it for decent quality.)





Also, Allybee, you have got some gorgeous contrast in some of those shots. I like it.

[Metope]

Can... can I have that coffee, please?

[Allybee]

if anyone is curious, only 2, 3, 5 and 7 went into the portfolio.

thanks elcap! what've you been up to lately, photography-wise? haven't seen any of your stuff for ages, but that coffee looks wonderful, so well-lit. shooting digital?

speaking of digital, I'm looking into buying a used dslr (not really something I can afford right now, but whatever, who needs a car?). I think I'm ready to go into color photography. it's funny, because a lot of people think that making a picture black and white automatically makes it look "arty" and improves the shot. you really have to pay attention to composition and tones when shooting black and white, which is why a lot of photography programs make you start with it. but I am craving color, though, and color film + processing fees are going to stack up, so while I love being in the darkroom, looks like I might be headed towards digital. I've heard good things about nikon (I'm lucky enough to own a canon slr) but I'm also looking at pentax and maybe olympus.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

i'm glad you're back, Ally!

i always liked your photos because they make mine look like crap, and that happens to be exactly what i look for in a good photo.

[The Cheesinator]

Sunny skies struck Toronto a few weeks back. Managed to capture Autumn while it lasted.



Also, I do not know how to make it into a thumbnail. Sorry. My Imageshack sucks and I've moved on to Flickr.

[SonofZ3]

Heres a link to a photobucket album for you guys to check out, I'll leave it public for a while:

[ibrahimdelil]

um, here are some i took. i'm pretty new to photography, so they're crappy ^_^ rest is here

"lost?"

"red"

"pazar" (bazaar)

[Scandanavian War Machine]

hey those are not crappy at all!

they are actually pretty excellent.

[the_pied_piper]

hey those are not crappy at all!

I agree. Shame about how opaque the shadow is on the second one; the head doesn't quite fit in smoothly against the bridge lighting, but i really like the black and white one. Really captures the seemingly synthetic feel of the surroundings.
