downloaded the Nik Color Efex 4 demo to see what it is - 99% of the filters are useless and the vignette takes some work, but the film modules are quite nice (if you eliminate the fake grain). Not worth $200, but if the student discount gets it down to $70ish, I might buy it.

i can't remember if this was the thread we were talking about ways of displaying your photos online in, but, just to revive: so many nice sites are made with indexexhibit, & i've never got around to trying it because i'm kinda satisfied with what i've got. but just in case anyone's still looking. this is a neat example: http://k3rstijanw3rdal.com/project/family/ (i googleproofed, es for 3s)

am still really on a tri-x 400 kick, since starting shooting with it a while ago; its so radiant & lovely, there's something really other-worldly about it, & it's the only v midtonish b&w stock i've ever loved:

A bit more high contrast that usual. I must have been just exposing for highlights on this. Pretty sure that if I had a lab do the scan it would look bad.

Surreal. I mean, it's not that strange, but seeing that combination of things in a nice-looking neighbourhood is disorienting.
An acquaintance had some ink drawings in a showing last weekend. This guy was there, an artist of some local repute, apparently.

I import into Lightroom, correct for the lens, sharpen a little, then export to Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 for B&W conversion.

amazing, dayo, for real, everything therei was looking back at yr older IHKH shots a while ago & was thinking you're into a pretty like open field, generally, shooting more towards 16 - right? they're great, they look kinda 'societal' that way.
but those are all really just something else. the elevator.

I really like those, second shot stands out for sure
― salsa shark, Saturday, 5 November 2011 00:42 (twelve years ago) link
this feels so like being BUSTED, i really don't have the vocabulary to talk about photography so was erring on the side of vagueness. i mean that your aperture is generally closer to being at 16, & leaving everything fairly visible & in focus, rather than limiting the DOF. i would stride in and say 'wide open', but i just heard someone use that to suggest what i thought of as being the opposite - as in like a v narrow field in focus - so i'm all confused. this wasn't meant to turn into a photo-vocab-digression, it's just it seems like such a crucial part of what makes those pics so good & subsequently what must be kind of an ideal in taking street photos, to some degree; that everything is contextualised by some idea of the sprawl of where it's taking place.
― Abattoir Educator / Slaughterman (schlump), Saturday, 5 November 2011 01:21 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah, totally! I love depth of field. I normally shoot between f/4-f/11, staying around f/8-f/11 if possible. my 35mm lens atm only goes down to 2.8. also I tend to shoots subjects that are at least 10 feet away, it's hard to throw a background out of focus at 10 feet with a 35mm, even if you had a f/2 or f/1.4 aperture. well, maybe with an f/1.4 aperture.
mainly it's for convenience sake, hyperfocusing and all that, but it's also maybe about not relying on background blur for subject isolation.
but yeah I can't think of any street photographer (that I like, anyway) who uses extreme DoF and blur for good pictures
― ASPIE Rocky (dayo), Saturday, 5 November 2011 01:29 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, sure. it is funny, it took me a really long time to begin to think of 16 as an optimum, rather than 1.8/2.8, i think because super-extreme-narrow-focus was one of those first almost trashy thing that seemed magical about cameras to me, along w/shit like MOTION BLUR, & light trails, double exposures, &c&c&c. so i'm reflexively inclined to move the dial more that way. the practicality of removing the delicacy of focus while on the move is a big plus, too, i guess.
(incidentally i am just finishing a roll of 1600 film that's been in the yashica i bought a while ago, &'ve only previously shot one kinda poorly exposed roll on, & might get it printed soon; will totally bring my rangefinder experiments to the yard itt if it comes out okay, i'm intrigued)
yeah, this is surprising to me but otm; it was looking at your pic w/the trail of kids that kinda shocked me into specifically noticing it, because the various fore- & background dressings are so essential.
― Abattoir Educator / Slaughterman (schlump), Saturday, 5 November 2011 01:41 (twelve years ago) link
^^^totes. i was very very guilty of narrow DOF omg bokeh shots when i first got my gf1. seems like a p common indulgence of the new photographer
