what do you see like: 2012

damn son your photos were on tv???

nbd

upon zooming in, that looks like really bad sharpening artifacts from the cvs scanner

you can see the same artifacts on the right hand side, the chain link fence

for sure there's prob a ton of 'microdetail' or w/e that aren't shown in the scans

aha!

the images weren't v big, you can see the originals on flickr

girl I was with would not have been pleased if I had moved toward the stage to actually be photographer-esque, but the XPro-1 went to the Hold Steady tonight

nice

man u guys makin me want to shoot color

i just looked at china's ihkh
& the recent return-to-colour is just wow

have you shot colour w/the leica, much? because your digital colour stuff was beautiful

sunshine makes me want to shoot colour, but i've just been walking around shooting the ground for a few weeks, it feels like it has maybe become my schtick. i thought i could collect the photos & publish them as street photography.

your digital colour stuff was beautiful

the guy on the truck
some other stuff too

thanks man! i haven't shot color with the m6 yet, no, but i plan to once i can get my hand on some...superia? is that the ish around here?

i kinda never liked superia ..??, though i am not totally rigorous with these decisions, & it might be just that i associate it with all of the photos i took before i started playing with less common film.

yeah superia 400 is the standard fuji color neg, should be pretty easy to get at wal-mart or some other big box store

I usually stick w superia 400 and overexpose by a stop. Smooth grain, good detail. It *can* suffer from green/magenta issues, but home scanning fixes that for me. Labs will vary.
Probably 70% of my color photos are superia. The equivalent cheap Kodak shows much more grain.

All abou the cheap films by the way. Kodak and Fuji consumer stuff can all be found for about $3/roll.

yeah I'm drawn to the idea of buying cheap film, and doing cheap drug store developing, why because it's an aesthetic also I am cheap and lazy

yeah dudes will say that fuji doesn't give accurate skin tones, but then those dudes will also happily spend $7 per roll.
I love cheap cheap cheap. part of which is just coming up with a system and not deviating from it. efficiencies of scale etc.

full disclosure though: last few pictures of mine were on ektar (can't get large supplies of fuji in nyc during passover!)

yeah I figure if I were to try and get in too deep into some perfect scheme I just wouldn't produce. otoh there's a cvs a block away so I might as well focus on volume right now

Portra 160 is still prob my preferred color film for flash photography

I need to start scouting local spots for color. The price difference at Amazon/B&H isn't enough to not go w/ Portra, but I'd like cheap.

just dropped two rolls and picked up four more of the bw400cn. we'll see about this.

up to your usual impeccable standard. you've got a knack for nailing the tone of an image.

Thank you very much.

blacks are so v tricky

^compliment of your blacks

IDK if these count or not but I've been getting bored of shooting shows lately and have been making these to make life harder for myself:

^dope.

jimmy mod: the mobile/iPhone view of your site is kind of screwy fyi

Great stuff on this thread. I always say that but I do mean it.

25 days in the US. I'll never have a break from work like that again in my life, so it has been thoroughly documented (well, as best I could with the kids around). Still importing photos from 40D, ZE-1 (cheapo Kodak thing I bought from Target on day 2 cos I wanted a pocket video camera), our two smartphones... It's gonna be around 4000 images.

I don't know where to start, but at the end - flying home:

Gaylord MCing at the Chickfactor shows (mindful of running out of memory, I started shooting a lot of ISO 1600 B&W JPGs at night - this is near-SOOC, just cropped):

I know just how you feel, I'm uploading holiday photos myself and filtering down from about 2000 pictures as I go.

Maybe I should've just taken the EOS 10 + 50mm, six rolls of Fuji Superia 400, four rolls of Ilford Delta 3200, rationed myself to 15 shots per day, and let Jacobs do the rest. (Phones could've handled the blow-by-blow FB documentation).

I've taken so many similar landscape shots it's really all about trying to find the right ones. But yes, I did all the day-to-day FB shots by phone.

I backed up cards every couple of days to my wife's netbook (small and light enough to stick in our luggage) and did some tweaking of choice shots with Picasa, uploading from there (plus the occasional on-the-spot upload from a phone where we had WiFi). Those moment-of or day-of photos will have had far more impact and meaning to those involved than what I'll do on Flickr over the next week or so. But the latter is the "permanent" record, I guess.

gr8080 -- I know. I'm not terribly happy about it but I'm not 100% sure what I want to do.

RE: editing insane amounts of pics: I don't even bother going thru lightroom etc for most stuff. I open everything up in preview and slam through it as quickly as possible judging on composition before focus or content. Like, if I can make a baseline judgement about something in a fraction of a second there's very little to be gained from sitting and studying it further.
