what do you see like: 2012

heh yeah there was a photographer who shot slide film in the south american tropics - the exposure range is so wide due to the harsh light that he just said fuck it and let the shadows go to pure black and got these amazing, color film noir-ish photos. can't remember the name of the photographer but there was a post on TOP about it.

alex webb - I think he is an ILP favorite

check out 'the mouth of night (paraguay)' on the website

alex webb is one of those photogaphers who makes you want to quit everything, sell all your possessions except for your cameras and travel the world and take amazing pictures

recent faves.
there's a little of that frontal flash there, though whether I know how to use it I couldn't say. it's from an olympus stylus epic, which has become my new 'going out' camera. I love it!
(I found one for $15 at a flea market, but the day *after* I ebayed one for $25, so my gf gets one too.)

stylus for second pic. top is still the leica.

love the 2nd one!

thanks lol trending #whiteonwhite

I really like the first one too. I'm also wild about mirrors. But really that's some great light.

feelin' the tiles, light, and reflections in milo z's last one too

haha I was thinking more about the white on grey on pale yellow, the paleness of it all

like milo's one as well - feel like it would work really good in a series

series is what I'm thinking too, but nothing I've taken similar to that has worked yet
<3 the cool tones of #whiteonwhite

RIP kodachrome

http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae232/daggerlee/7ef9f212.jpg

RIP all kodak chromes, for that matter. based on recent discussion I picked up some Fuji T64 since, yeah, how much longer can a film like *that* have? I have no clue how I'll use it though.

cross-processing tungsten slide film used to be a thing

iirc the "thing" to do is shoot tungsten in sunlight then get it developed normally

a few photos from a roll i shot that way:

tungsten film has a built in white balance shift - it's like setting your digicam's white balance to tungsten. I think its primary use is for indoor shots with mixed lighting. hear it's popular with museums for taking photographs of paintings in interior lighting?

but yeah shoot it in sunlight. I barely saturated the color here and the blues just overtook everything..

Cross-processing tungsten, you get a blue cast, but more pop to other colors than if you just process normally.

Tungsten was originally primarily for shooting with studio hot lights, but it also worked for household incandescent (if you had enough light at all to shoot 64 ISO). I still have a couple of boxes of 4x5 sheets of 64T that I never got to use. They're horribly out of date (6 years, no refrigeration), I should try them in my pinhole.

I'll mess around. A few inside, a few out. You can bet I'll use the SLR that's got an f1.4 lens though for 64 ISO.

picked up an LTM to M adapter for my russian 50mm lens today. kinda psyched about that as it's a largely uncoated (and thus kinda hazy) lens. I dig the look, and can carry it with the Leica now.

got a shitload of film developed today!!!
(sorry if this is posting too many)

they're so beautiful! the wide expansive ones particularly. what were you shooting with?

saw them on fb - yeah great stuff! that's not the c-41 bw400cn is it?

thanks dudes!

yeah all the B&W is bw400cn-- its all i've been shooting lately. when it's that reliably good while being so cheap & available (and cheaper to get developed) its really a no brainer.

the color one is on superia 400

schlump i shot all but the 2nd one down with my yashica t4. the 2nd one down with a weird no-name point and shoot i found of eBay that is like a vivitar ultra wide & slim but with a built in flash.

here is the rest

i like all the cactus shots! (and also your friend's Orbison shirt)

This is kind of off topic but I couldn't really find a more appropriate thread (sorry).

lol i took this photo and i think the photo ref that occurred to me first was chinavision

haha rule #2 of photography: always photograph construction materials, cones, bars, etc.
nice dual rows of cones/posts, complete with diagonal shadows!

Here's a glimpse of home: Caton Avenue, where I live (sort of; really where the back entrance to my building is)
