Street Portraits/Studio on Film
Excellent work as always. Yeah, film prices are through the roof, and Portra is one of the few that's actually available - so much is out of stock everywhere. Camera prices have also gone up enormously. I think we discussed a possible move to medium format a few years back. My 645 is the ori...

Underneath the arches at Fountains Abbey.
I'd guess fish-eye lens and HD processing. Whatever, outstanding results. I have a visit planned soon - if I come back with anything nearly as impressive as these, I'll be happy.

Barry Island Set 3
I find 2 draws me to it the most. Four horizontal layers of different heights and colour/texture, that work well together with the sign (of which Rio would not approve !) adding a focus. If taking pictures is all about the photographer "seeing" a concept, then executing it, then this is a prim...

Barry Island Set 3
Great stuff and yes No. 4 for me to, what is it about B&W? I know what you mean. For me there's something nostalgic and romantic about black and white for me and stripping away the colour allows us to focus more on shape and form. I think when you've looked at the work of photographers like Doi...

Just Trees.....
Thanks for all the comments - it was a pleasing little set, considering I hadn't taken a single photo in the first hour of the walk, then all of a sudden I started seeing potential images :shock: It's a place we walk fairly often so I'll be back up there in Autum colour, then Winter frost, then...

i tried 'SPOT Metering' on my PENTAX 6x7 Mk II
Lovely, peaceful, relaxing and, above all, real. It brings back memories from years ago of slow trips along a river in a friends boat, him at the helm, me with camera. Photoshop fakes? Yes, lots of them, too many. But 'straight'? Don't developing, printing and scanning all involve subjective deci...

14 more for the project
Another interesting set. I've restrained an urge to comment on previous sets because it seemed sensible to see and comment on the full collection of 'When the fun stops'. So have you finished yet :wink:??? Just a thought, though, re the photo that has upset someone of FB. It clearly isn't slande...

Thanks Steve! Nope, haven't finished shooting yet :lol: I'm a creature of always returning back to the same location as every time I go there, I could see something different or 'better' than what I've created already so I'll always go back but aim to park in different zones so the path around is...

The peacock feather and an ancient lens.
One of my folding camera lens conversions is an Ensar f4.5 100mm made in the late 1920s by Houghtons, London. I put it onto a bellows this morning with a Pentax K1 and excavated a small peacock's feather from the bits and pieces at the back of my desk. Lighting is from a north facing window which en...

The peacock feather and an ancient lens.
Fascinating! That's a pretty good result from an almost 100 year old lens and for all your effort in bringing it back to life. :) But it raises a big question: why was there a peacock feather buried at the back of your desk when most of us have dead spiders...?? Steve

Back in Cornwall, St Just in Roseland Gardens/Cemetery
A beatiful and relaxing place to wander around, situated by a little creek off the River Fal. The bright sunny day made it special as the sun danced in and out of the canopy of native trees and sup tropical ones. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10...

Super scenes Joe and you've done a great job of controlling the highlights in such sunny scenes! What I really like is your matching of crop to composition, I don't think we always visualise the best crop of a photo - too often we leave the full image, I much prefer this approach 8)

Number 2 has great composition and is pretty special. Love how you can walk through the scene :D

Back in Cornwall, St Just in Roseland Gardens/Cemetery
Thanks Gareth , it just seemed a good lead to the gravestones. It is a place which given more time has many images to be taken along similar lines, will leave the wife at home next time we are down there:D

St Just in Roseland 2
Thanks all. Kevin,the Church involved keeping the highlights in check when taking the shot but that made evrything else quite dark so initial slider is the whites as that puts light back into the image but then the highlights may need a tweak along with the shadows, a matter working to get the balan...

Hi Geoff, I've just watched your video, very interesting and great final :twisted:images! I'd never heard of aperture stacking before, your resulting images are magical. Cheers Mike Cheers Mike. Pleased to read you found the video informative. I find the method very usable for when you have...

I always format the memory card once I've transferred the contents to the PC. As there was no need for these videos I placed them into the recycling bin which is set to auto delete so they're gone! I wasn't over keen on the 4 images I shot from that session in the park as isolating subjects was damn...
