Thanks! Just an old Ricoh SLR camera and Kodak Tri-X Pan B&W film. I developed the film and pic myself.

Thanks! Again the Tri-X film. It lets you push it to the extreme. The dude was flat out awesome. It was hard to concentrate on taking the picture.

Stifled Dreams:
My photos from the most recent roll of negatives have actually turned out better than I thought they would. Also, I've learned a lot about developing the the last few weeks. I have realized, however, that I have a very long ways to go, though. I've removed my first picture to save bandwidth. That way, I can scan in some newer photos next week to show you guys. I've been reading your critiques and you all seem like a dedicated group of photographers! It is refreshing to see others' work.

Freelance, I think the tree and lantern in the back of the piano photo give it an interesting, almost eerie quality, although since they are only in the background and take a while to notice. So I agree that although the cars are distracting, it would be best not to crop that one.

I do have a question for all of you, though; where do you develop? I develop in school, as I've said. Does anyone here own equipment? And, if so, was it worth buying it?

I'm merely curious, and I figure that this would be a good place to have discussions about equipment and the process, as well as actual photographs.

Freelance Physicist:
I bought my digital point-and-shoot (a Fujifilm FinePix A340) a few weeks before I left for Hungary in August of 2004.  I edit my photos using GIMP and have them developed by Shutterfly.  I like Shutterfly since they offer to develop photos without automatic color correction.  This way, I get prints that look like what I see on my monitor when I finish my own post-processing.  Plus, it's much cheaper than printing them on my own.

I think a better method for saving bandwidth would be to use thumbnails or links to where the pictures are hosted.  I'll edit my post.

Il have to get my budapest pictures off my brother, i think i used his camera. God i miss my fuji s7000, that was a lovely camera.

Wahoo: Urban Exploration!

A few friends and I went to an abandoned mental hospital in Memphis. I got some good stuff, I think. Let me know what you think.























cheers.
