Actually I'm really annoyed with myself - these looked far better in the camera than they do now.

Oh I know that feeling all too well. That monitor on the back of the camera LIES!

A real favourite of mine is City of God: link

Quote:
City of God is based on a true story that takes place in the 60's where in the slums of Rio De Janeiro two boys growing up in the neighborhood take on different paths in life. The story is told through eyes of Buscape, a poor young fisherman's son who dreams of becoming a photographer one day. As war wages on the streets Buscape's only way out of this violent life is to expose its brutality the world through his pictures.

I would list it among my top 5 movies of all time

More overtly 'photography based' is classic British movie, Blowup: link

[Edit - oops, Tim got there first with my second choice!]

Blowup was considered a really shocking film in its time!

A bit of camera shake here TT - even using a support you have to be careful to not knock the camera in the slightest. (Use the self timer). I presume you were using a tripod because of the two tripods in shot.

On the +ve side, the exposure is very good and brings out the coloured reflections

Good to see an unbiased Pentax review at last, John!

Erm, I find dof preview a great feature, and often use it to quickly check depth of field.

It was a very foresighted idea, preserving the village just as the Nazis left it. I agree with iberg re the last shot. Chilling.

Excellent, well seen. I prefer no. 2, as the figures are more identifiable.

When you say the image was part of a series, it becomes clear to me that that was exactly how the image should be seen. By itself it doesn't have much impact. That isn't the photographer's fault though, and it does them a disservice to present the image out of context.

I must have been having a senior moment, I read the bit about the volcano and looked down to the pictures, and thought these were ash clouds from the recent eruptions
