I haven't been shooting much lately so here's one from the archives.

Mamiya 7, 80mm, Ektachrome E100S.

If you had not posted this one I would have never associated it with you Jonathan. I did not know you were also accomplished at action photography, nice shot. (how's it look in B&W?)

It's certainly not a shot I would typically take, that's true. I'm not sure I qualify as 'accomplished' at this, but I was asked to do it for a former employer and gave it my best. (Not sure how this would look in B&W. I'm such a literalist that it never occurs to me to convert my color shots to gray scale.)

As for your 'digi-pics,' I think they're just 'pics'. I don't really care what the capture medium is (digital, LF, MF, tin can pinhole, etc.) as long as the photos are good, and I enjoy your night shots particularly.

Those are wonderful, Andreois. I didn't have a chance to comment on them earlier.

Leigh, thank you! I am now finally working on some prints from the large negatives from the same place, they'll appear soon in the "alternative" thread.

Jonathan, that's a pretty funny photo!
Here's an abstraction I took yesterday. Nikon SP, Nikkor 1.4 RF, Nikon Selenium Meter, Fuji Superia:

Another from the archives, newly scanned.

When my wife and I got married in Ireland in 1992, I was the photographer out of necessity, but in the registry office the only way to get a shot of everyone was to have the officiant take it. Needless to say my very quick explanation of how to use the Toyo 45A and Horseman 6x7 back was a bit confusing to the uninitiated, and the kind gentleman did not fully wind to the next frame between shots. It cracks me up how the guys are all stone faced and the ladies are smiling.

Toyo 45A w/6x7 back, 90mm Grandagon, Ektachrome E100S

That's awesome, though I imagine you might have preferred a straight version. For some reason it reminds me of this:


When my parents got married the only camera that was there was my dad's half broken Mamiya with the shutter speed stuck on something like half a second so they look like ghosts in every single picture. They're pretty interesting actually.

Austin,

Your shot reminds me of this one I took at the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris a number of years ago:

EDIT: Here's a quick B&W conversion for comparison. Makes me wish I'd shot it in B&W originally:

I agree: colours can be very distracting sometimes ....
If I have made a colour image I really like, I'll convert it to B&W and view the image upside-down to see if it is still a good image (composition, etc.) or just a nice combination of colours.
I wish I had also lived before the 1930's when all the B&W images turned into colour images .....
