your newest phots are so amazing grady, you have such range
michael jones' shot reminds me of gomorrah or something, it's intense

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

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

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.

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.

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.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
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.
