what do you see like: 2013

Anyone taken any photos yet, then? I finished a 366 project on Hogmanay so have inevitably been unable to face my camera since.

I'll kick us off. Nothing interesting. Just the front door and one of my kids...

Is that transparent wrapping paper in the second photo? It's a great effect!

Yep! Actually Lulu's idea. Saving the one she took of me for the WDYLL Jan 2013 thread. I'm not starting it!

all I have are instagrams

my tribute to harry callahan

nice-- Honolulu has dozens of BOARD OF WATER SUPPLY buildings in almost that same mid-century typeface

man that's beautiful

also respect for disclaiming that it is not technically a 2013 shot, i feel like posting itt w/o disclaiming this would be deeply dishonest

Really great.

v nice. how wide is that lens?

the shining 2012 (torrent of blood floods the scene moments later)

Not very wide. It's 28mm but on a crop sensor, so 44mm equivalent FoV on full-frame. I've cropped the image to 1.85 aspect ratio for a more cinematic feel (to match another shot that I've just put on the parenting board).

It's where the footbridge over York Way (near Waterloo station on London's South Bank) terminates, kinda weirdly, inside an office building (The Shell Centre).

prob as close as I'll get to getting on my stephen shore shit (well, no. I have color film that I've loaded and am shooting with) - from a fuji 6x9 camera

I've had the same thing happen in the past w/cold weather, but maybe it won't happen to me since I had the CLA? again, I won't know for awhile.

did a thing w/ a friend where he shot a roll in hawaii over labor day weekend and then i shot over it on my xmas eve/xmas morning red eye flight from honolulu to o'hare, these are my favorites:

Unmysterious and punctum-free, just a shot of Kings X station - the new-ish forecourt canopy. Reminds me of the DC metro, a little.

As someone who doesn't really take photographs (so has nothing to contribute), I still wanna say what a joy this thread is. The dozen or so pics above by Michael Jones, 乒乓, schlump and gr8080 is a great run and pure pleasure to these eyes.

The sweep of the ceiling structure in that Kings X photo is kind of mesmerising!

i was pretty early on the scene when this happened:

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/01/07/civil-war-statue-vandalized-in-greenpoint-park/

got my color rolls back and I think this may be the year where i shoot more color than not?? DUNNO

Particularly like 3-7 and 9 there, so most of them. The dog and the balloons particularly.

Particularly indeed.

those are great gr8080

for real! subway kid is so classic, balloons is like a pulp album sleeve.

thanks dudes,

here is the whole roll of that double exposure project

these aren't 2013, but I want to post some stuff to the thread anyway.

gr8080 I think you have at least one photo of a friend of mine in your flickr feed
which now that I think of it maybe makes sense since he's originally from Hawaii

haha the first one is like catnip to me

ended not being too pleased with the 5 rolls of 35mm color I shot, I think I only like color in medium format, in film at least

That filter giving some great results, especially the first one - all still on film?

A few things. I did a 366 project last year, this year I'm doing a weekly portrait just to make sure I've always got something on the go.

yes, the 1st one is kodak gold 200. having fun w/ the filter, but i need to be zoomed to at least 60mm or else it gets vignetted really bad, and that's way closer than i'm used to shooting

very nice portrait-- looking forward to seeing more

dirtbike arena shots are beautiful

yes, the 1st one is kodak gold 200.

Looks really sharp and clean, I've used Gold 200 before and been happy enough with it, that's a great result though.

dirtbike arena shots are beautiful

Don't think I've ever been down that way in the dark before, got lucky with the lights and there being no-one around! Was the opposite of Grady - using my 18-70mm wide open, which is much wider than I usually shoot (35mm or 50mm with 1.5 crop).

Not had a proper chance to do any daylight shooting in the snow, it's finally staying on the ground up here so may try and get out on my lunch tomorrow.

Great work with the mirror tube. I will always rep for Kodak Gold - in good light, it's lovely.

Hey where's not_goodwin? I'm requesting some landscapes -- feeling trapped in the gritty city, could use some scenic vistas.

really wanna play with a mirror tube

gr8080 photos are gr8

thanks mookie.

that's great. nice framing between the two back facing figures.

hey everyone, what's shaking? still not developing film. just taking the time to organize some stuff and all. going a little stir crazy. any pictures that I happen to put up on flickr these days are still just how I saw: 2012.

I just added a big pile to the backlog and school started again so it may be a while. My new goal, frankly inspired by some of the stuff on the last thread, is to try and back off a little bit on the big punchy enhancements that LightRoom allows and try to embrace a lower-contrast look when it's suitable. I was in Moscow a few weeks ago and I have to be honest with myself that the overcast, snowy city looks better without stark contrast, though sadly I didn't have any days of that awesome hazy fog a la Michael Jones.

super jealous of fog

sorry if i'm posting too much this month-- really been on a tear lately though after months of nothing. combination of:

• new cameras
• guy in my office letting me borrow lenses i'll never be able to afford
• got lots of film for xmas
• its my final weeks living in hawaii
• self-imposed deadline for my sixth zine

I love the fact that I'm associated with "awesome hazy fog"!

I found some 6x6 negatives in my dad's old wallet last night - photos of me as a baby from 1968-69. Probably taken by my uncle, who had a Hasselblad. Some photos of my dad's older brother, in uniform in Burma in 1944. I got to get scanning...

hey gr8080, when you're on a kick, you're on a kick, so go for it!
where you moving to? will aloha friday survive???

mj, I looove old family photos more than just about any other kind of picture. I mean even technically, old snaps look soo great. soft contrast, ancient artifacts, etc.

gr8080's new publication in 2013: hello friday

Here's a photo of my parents from 1955. Sorry, I know this isn't the thread for it and I also apologise for the crappy digital border (that's the default Lightroom export option I have for Facebook, and FB is where I just grabbed this from)...

I did process it a bit - undid the fading of the years and got rid of some of the worst blemishes.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8094/8413069621_a33ca7e89c_z.jpg

love the chair one

woah very nice: what are you shooting with?

Thanks! Just a Canon rebel and the cheap 50mm.

I was trying to raise the ISO to stupid noisy levels to get a day-for-night thing on the first pic, I'm such a massive noob tho', still coping (read, tearing my hair out) with working fully manual and getting a much higher ratio of soft pictures.

oh wow yeah those are really great. I really love the loose focus. I'm really feeling photos that don't concern themselves much with being in focus right now, and these hit the moodiness sweet spot.

Finally in on the plane window action!

Holy moly, 2013 is off to a hell of a start. Some amazing work here so far - particularly taken with Grady's double exposures and mirror tube experiments.

Here's a couple from the last few weeks:

Wow, that looks exactly like a still from this movie I watched last week, Martha Marcy May Marlene.

Took some shots of a friend's band, got an 85mm Canon lens at Xmas and it was a good excuse to practice, most of them were okay but as you'd expect, but this one with it's slight AF mistake I liked.

So many great shots so far this year, loving the reflections and shadows work.
Not been very productive this year so far. Forced myself out yesterday for a walk. I really should be doing more as I treated myself to a 5D MarkII before Christmas, feeling guilty for not making the most of it.

Sneaked a bunch of street shots on the way home tonight, I only had my 85mm lens on me however so I was kinda forced into portrait situations, took a bunch of people through shop windows.

That's great, MaresNest.

My photo-taking has slowed down a lot this year, have done a couple of gigs and working on weekly portraits. A friend lent me a Mamiya C330, put a film in and went for a walk today but couldn't figure out how to work it!

funny cuz I can never remotely figure out which pictures people will like. I thought no one would dig that picture out of my recent ones, but instead it's gotten more attention than some "people photos" that I thought would have been popular and have just kinda sat there.

I often feel pretty clueless about editing. think I've got a killer photograph that is ignored, or that I've got a marginal or boring one that is then favorited by strangers.

does anyone actually edit with confidence, and get expected results?

there is room for both, I think; publish what you like & then just have Michael Almereyda root through your archives in thirty years. I definitely think it's true that you can't really have a personal & accurate gauge of what will be popular, in that I know I've really often preferred friends' work that they consider p benign, & friends have more often been complimentary about things I'm not excited by than the things I feel like got right (it would sorta make sense for this to correlate with our differing relationships to the actual subject matter, the photographer having actually been there & all, but I don't really think that's it). I wonder if Flickr itself is a weird way to gauge this kinda thing? like navigating that quantity of photos means certain types of photographs stick out, poppier/brighter shots. really I think your own edit is what matters & really shouldn't be perceived as skewed or off if it isn't jiving with others' perceptions, just because it's what you're trying to say. a body of work probably forms more cohesively if you're following a thread rather than compiling a best of, anyway.

as an aside I really did like all of those. I mention the last because it's just such a perfect arrangement & catch, & because I spent the last couple of days occasionally considering kicking stray objects into the path of the golden-hour sun just so they'd align more photogenically.

oh flickr is a totally bizarre venue for displaying photographs and evaluating reactions. I'm trying to get myself to rely on it less, but still... there are stats! and I can't help but notice them! I have no self control.
and sometimes it is really easy to ID what makes a popular photo tick, like a couple of mine that I can recognize as fitting in pretty easily with sorta "lifestyle" kinda photos (the picture of my girlfriend pointing out of an airplane window at NYC is a little bit of a tumblr memey sort of thing, which makes sense because it's in an airplane, it's nyc, and it's sort of gauzy orangey hazy and has vibes - I get it).
people's reactions are sometimes reassuring, as in, "nice, someone likes this!" but also a little worrying, as in "ah, people are identifying structure or subtext that I *completely didn't notice* in the whole process of shooting, editing, and uploading."
all of this would probably be a lot healthier if I just, say, worked on taking and editing pictures for a couple years, and then put them online on my own terms and at my own pace. or put them in a book, for crying out loud! but then also without flickr I probably wouldn't have gotten so into photography, so there you go. and of course I guess everyone's convinced that their work merits a book too.

ha ha. yeah that's interesting. I have been taking photos for I guess eleven years or something but it's only really since scanning them & seeing them better & maybe talking here that I have understood them better & figured out what I was doing. I can see how being enmeshed in flickr & getting some kind of yield from an otherwise personal production is pretty useful. it's nice that photographs have portability that way, that they can be traded, commodified. I don't think you have to work in a vacuum, necessarily, but I sorta think the personal-development thing should probably happen in tandem with rather than being too responsive to the feedback you get. there are those theories about any sort of revolutionary or progressive art being inherently unpopular at first, because of it disobeying or not conforming to the standards of what's popular, & while I'm not suggesting that photography is one bold thinker away from another Frank-esque breakthrough school of thought, I feel like being overwhelmed by the success of the stuff that jives well & yeah comforms to certain formulae risks overshadowing the less obvious work. I just scanned a shot of a cauliflower in a woman in a red coat's red shopping basket & it's not quite in focus & so doesn't quite come across right, but I probably like it better than a couple of the other shots I have of like fire hydrants, &c. would buy a CV book, btw; your stuff is v singular, like a sorta formal Gill-ed out take on some of the classic busy-Asian-streets guys.

I'm gonna have a glass of whiskey at home tonight and think a bit and try to respond at length a little later, but for now will just say that I definitely FEEL THE DANGER in knowing which formula brings easy results on a website like flickr, or tumblr. when one spends all the time in the world swimming in the flickr pool, it just gets to easy to figure out how to maneuver in that environment, and possibly be totally screwed when trying to jump into a larger river (yep I'm trying my hand at metaphors today).
I can't believe that I can devote this much brainspace to something called flickr! I also can't believe that I replied so quickly to your post. I'm not really refreshing this page all day, just swung by for a sec.

I wonder if there should be a new thread for working out some of the thoughts going on here and on the 'famous people' thread. I feel like there's some kind of unifying theory that involves flickr, tumblr, the grand traditions of photography, and the more performative or derived-from-the-art-world strains, and the way that maybe they're growing together a bit. like I feel like there has been a bit of a gulf between some strains of photography that declared allegiance to different traditions (whether journalistic, or "artistic" [i.e. staged, collaged, or "conceptual"]) but that the gulf is narrowing. more 'straight photography' types are engaging with manipulated/staged etc. photography, or art using photography, and I feel like a bit more 'straight photography' is creeping into the art world. this is an impression I have, but I don't really have enough confidence to say that it's not just something that I'm imagining.

...and I would love to sell you a CV book btw

really wanna respond both to this & to the (man, beautiful) posts in the famous people thread but i just can't right now

also i have some bootleg uta barth shots i took by spinning the focus wheel that i don't have time to edit into jpgs right now

they're pretty though

I don't know that I have much to add but would totally encourage a new thread for these kind of thoughts that have been spread over the two threads.

XP -I wonder if there should be a new thread for working out some of the thoughts going on here and on the 'famous people' thread.

Would love to read more thoughts, this is all super interesting to me.

Colleague lent me his Sigma 10-20mm. I don't think I really know what to do with it, but my commute this morning looked like this:

That seems like a really nice lens. Are you using it on full frame?

No, it's a DC lens (I only remember the Sigma nomenclature cos some wag once said this meant "digitally crippled") - so vignettes badly on full-frame. I did take a few shots on film though, just for fun. My impressions are that this isn't nearly as good as the (full-frame) Sigma 12-24mm, even within the crop frame boundaries - lots of corner aberration/smearing that I couldn't seem to fix in Lightroom. But, yeah, it's pretty good for the money, I think.

Getting an iPhone 4S (with the Camera+ app) has shaken up the way I shoot recently. Very beguiling. But...they still look merely adequate on a PC so I'm not linking to them here (yet). Instead, here are some merely adequate shots on the 40D...

Nice to meet you, MaresNest!

And you! & I hope I didn't spook you! I realised I've probably seen you at the UC before, I'm there most Saturdays recording the performances for the podcast and helping with the stage tech.

Had a roll needing developed for a while, nothing exciting but was a film (Lucky SHD100), developer (Kodak D76) and camera (an Olympus Trip 35 given to me by a colleague) that I hadn't used before so I'm pleased it all worked.

Love that first pic.

Thanks, I was pretty happy with it!

Took this on phone today. I've hundreds of photos to go through from a memorial football tournament this morning, but my hard drive is full (coincidentally i bought a new one in preparation this afternoon but didn't expect it to happen so soon) and I can't do anything in Lightroom while 287GB of photos (i shoot RAW...) transfer. 4hrs.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8119/8624631223_9c48b41d3b_c.jpg

Nice work, liking that!

I'm in the middle of Lightroom chimping the 2500 Holiday snaps from Japan that I took with my little Lumix two years ago, it's an epic adventure, not RAW files mind you, but it's still pretty decent what you pull out of a Jpeg.

Wow, what are we looking at in the top one?

reflection of a tree in wet paving stones?

Tree reflected in wet flagstones in Leicester Sq Gardens, flipped upside down and otherwise jazzed up in Camera+.

Ah...xp!

It's a bit of a revelation to me, having a semi-decent camera in my phone and a quite powerful and very speedy associated app. Obviously you can only push a JPEG snapped with a 15.5mm2 sensor so far before it starts to look hideous, but I'm amazed at how good the one-click treatments are on Camera+ (steering away from the vintagey nonsense).

This was snapped above my head through the window of the footbridge over the train tracks, two-click treatment, on FB ten seconds later. Sorry, I'm old, this sort of thing amazes me.

i'm no pro but i did see this warren of baby rabbits

millsner's connecting-link in the photowheel thread is ~subtle~

should've had morning coffee before posting, tbh :)

i'd plonk down real cash for an entire book of the world's fruit stands. really enjoy those instanbul shots.

xxxpost
How cute?

I hope it goes deeper, it doesn't look too safe.

Bad news -- I've been to check on them three times today and haven't seen a single one. Once was at 7am, so they could have been out and about, but they should be snoozing at home after lunch, right? I hope they just set up camp somewhere else. They were so tiny and cute!

I take it there's no way of deleting posts? I put the wrong image in the photowheel thread! (meant to use this http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaellambert/8276221872/)

you can try posting a request here cleanup in aisle ILP and also possible request for an ILP mod??

too late i already mirrored it

Ah, it's not the end of the world and i wouldn't want to disrupt the turn of the wheel.

I'm loving that thread. Grady's Tube train/tunnel echo on a vast natural scale!

It's an interesting test of my memory and Flickr tagging practices too (latter = mostly hopeless, as it turns out).

that thread is the best thing to happen on ilx in awhile.

I have been enjoying too! I keep waiting for something to strike me, but in the meantime I am busy moving.

well that's much smaller than i expected.

Just spent quite a while adding a border and text to some gig photos in Lightroom. Not keen on the loss of metadata from doing a print export. Will see if this becomes too much of a faff.

Michael, were you tempted to wander over towards Beak St the other day?

Oh, I went! It was the first day in two weeks I didn't have at least one DSLR with me and it was the day after I'd sent the 70-200L back to the hire company...

This is the best I could do with my iPhone and my natural timidity:

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7368/9032947818_02f3150dc9_z.jpg

Nice shot!
I had my camera on me, but with the 85, so not ideal really. Plus we're up on the 5th Floor in Wardour St and the near constant drone of helicopters felt a bit oppressive so I wussed out.

am in awe of that one, schlump

I've only just really looked at that one - it is great.

That reminds me a little of this noisy snap that I took a long time ago on an old Fuji Finepix.

One evening I read that the NFT were projecting Warhol's Empire (the 8hr cut) outside, so I headed down there after work, it was a nice night too, could have spaced out for hours down there, this guy had a some sort of packed lunch.

those are great, man. like the best among lots of great stuff you've posted here.

bottom left alley shot is great + reminds me of luohu, but i guess it could be one of a trillion similar alleys in southern china.

thanks a lot, dude! that alley...the lighting was so perfect and i just needed someone to walk through, and then on cue, that girl, in leopard skin dress, and i blew it...there's a couple of her just in silhouette that would have been really great but my hand shook taking them. it was near jordan mtr.

antelope? head especially

I've only just realised that the ice-cream is dripping from step to step. I don't know what was going on in my brain not to see the receding patterns on the left as a sign of depth, but at first I thought "how is that spillage so perfectly bisected by that groove in the floor?" I love it anyway.

throw a flash in it and that's a martin parr shot. haha, j/k - great shot!

thanks nilmar

hey rent, you've been killing it lately on flickr. had a chance to click through this morning and hey, that's a lot of good pictures!

have I mentioned how much I hate that replacing an image file on flickr kills existing embed links?

thanks a lot, cv. there's definitely something to be said for volume!

i really like this one. 30 seconds with an infared filter on a sunny day, looking across hk harbour from my living room. those buildings are massive...probably abt 70 floors each.

Nice! Is that taken at 1.4?

that's the inside of a zebra, right

1.4, ISO 50. The lens is better than I imagined. At f4, it's incredibly sharp.

Took my Leica M8 to New York. Looking back I found it incredibly hard to capture things without any a) flags, b) cabs, c) generally yellow stuff and d) animals suddenly pushing their way into the picture. Apart from that: fab city.

love #2

I do feel like such an amateur when I see how much colour, detail and incident you folks pack into the rectangle. Sometimes I think my problem is that I wait for life to exit the frame before I shoot. Like I wait for stuff to just *settle* and then there's not much left other than geometry and texture.

i love that about your photos.

Thanks!

thanks a lot!

schlump, what kind of camera did you use for that flower photo? it's beautiful.

rent those are great

thanks!

they're from malaysian borneo and brunei btw...pretty photogenic spots

hey rent, thank you, i shoot everything with an om-1 w/a zuiko 50mm 1.8 lens, i guess this was just that on like 400 speed film at like 250, ~2.8. like you underplaying your nice phots w/pretty photogenic spots, i think the light was just nice. i have a cellphone pic of the same tree that illuminates how nice being able to control depth of field is in contrast.

That cat eyeing the fish up is gorgeous, great set of shots.

Michael Jones, the bunny shot is amazing, wonderful composing and light.
Michael Lambert, sweet pic feat. those indicated dynamics - have you ever thought of this one in sharp b/w?

Don't think I tried it in b+w - it feels like quite a "soft" image to me.

curious how people respond to you using a flash for street photography

i don't usually. brought it out this weekend. i think being a westerner in hk i get a lot of leeway that locals wouldn't. mostly ppl just assume im a tourist, and im much more bold that i'd probably be in canada. mostly i don't hang around to see their reaction, though i sense sometimes ppl being like "wait what?" ...just posted about one really great response in the photo-breezing thread, though.

finally updated my website ^___^

http://www.richardgin.org/

Richard, website looks great. I need to put some work in on mine, always got an idea what I want to do but never quite manage it.

Rent - particularly love the first one, in b+w.

great update, jimmy mod-- "things" is my favorite

fyi I went w squarespace. illustrator homies of mine all use cargo but they thought squaresp. would work better for me and it seems like it did. The tech support was helpful too, as I was migrating from an older/harder to use domain host.

rad set rent. wheelchair shadows. the second & sixth images didn't show for me, fwiw, but you can click through & see them so it's okay.

can i credit you/how can i credit you?

The light is great in that one!

The plan was to walk from Maze Hill to Cutty Sark DLR along the path before the sun set but Ava said "This is beautiful. Can we go on the beach?" It was almost completely dark when we finally left.

i am really into that, michael. you are i think the only person whose film & digital work i have trouble distinguishing between? either because you're good at scanning prints or else because your digital work is effective, i don't know. i am london agnostic but it looks really nice being where you were.

http://i.imgur.com/Omt7Yo5.jpg

Thank you! I do very little scanning of my own, so I think it's probably because I put a gentle S-curve on everything I shoot digitally.

Not sure I actually like this photograph but I keep being drawn back to it. Bit more saturated than I'd normally go for, and quite busy with nothing really there.

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3705/10542191703_a6974017fc_b.jpg

i like how abstract it is

also schlump i didn't say this last time but i really love the bike + hand upthread. great balance

yeah, michaellambert, I like that one - the shadows are doing just the right work across the ground, giving this little slice of light to work the frame within a frame...it's groovy. And I think the saturation looks great, not OTT at all.

Thanks guys. Was really nice light that day. It's turning so quickly now - around 4pm there was some really nice light coming in through the office windows, not long after 5pm it was dark.

Just getting the hang of the new camera. ISO 25600, you gotta be kidding me...

what ISO?

All 1600, I think. I've done some very light processing in Lightroom, but not much.

I went down to some pretty short shutter speeds, there's one or two in the Flickr set at 1/3200. Others more around the 1/200 - 1/800 mark.

from some recent scanning

btw mj, that photo's really nice and makes me realize that I tend to take really lazy pictures of my parents. which I ought to change.

chinavision, I have a shot of the same sunset, if that date's accurate! Yours is a lot more convincing, though.

Love the colours in that waverley station shot!

the date is accurate. I was walking home across the brooklyn bridge and it seemed that everyone suddenly realized that the light was turning extremely beautiful. lots of slowing down and photographing all around. I shot a whole roll on the bridge.

hella good
text, watertower, subway

positive film is magical when you pull out a roll and see all the pictures you took just right there staring at you. unfortunately I cannot scan it for shit.

schlump all of your 'graphs have such good weight

you make me never want to take an evans full-frontal picture ever again

Just another pic of the eldest, but the first time I've put the manual focus Zeiss 135mm on the new camera. ISO 10000 to get the shutter speed indoors...

Crazy how ISO10000 looks better there than I remember 1600 looking a few camera generations ago.
