Lovely, jon.oman. Striking color and classic composition make for a very nice photo. Format, camera, lens, film, if you feel like divulging secrets? The detail makes me think 6x9 rather than 35mm, but who knows? Got some more?
Larry

Thanks!

I was out for birds with my Nikon D700 and Sigma 100-300mm F4 lens, with the 1.4TC. This scene presented itself. The lighting and everything just 'worked'!

Thanks for your comments, Vaughn and Brian. It's quite an unusual channel of water, in that the water is moving in an upward incline towards a 50 foot drop at this point. I was hoping that the photograph would look a little odd from this angle. The shutter speed was 1/13s, which meant I was shooting at f/4, hence less sharpness throughout than I would have wanted.

hi. thanks. it was my first attempt to use the stitch capability in photoshop. heading down the coast toward big sur we saw this scene near sunset. it was done fairly quickly. level tripod, overlap of about a third of the image going from one frame to the next. i tried to time the shots for similar wave positions to get a good blend in the water. as it was a first attempt (you can see at the right side) that i did not remove the keystone effect from the composite. it was either a nikon D2x or D300, most likely with a tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens at mid aperture, exposures of several seconds. i would have to look at the original files for more accurate details, but that is what sticks in my fading memory

Lovely portrait, jp498! Such clarity and absorption in that little young face.

Keep shooting lots of her while she's still willing to let Dad catch her on film - she will treasure every one, once she's older (and you too). They tend to suddenly change in their attitudes in the tweeny years, and threaten you or hide whenever you pick up a camera in their vicinity. Nowadays my daughters complain "how come you stopped taking pictures of us when we reached our teens?" and I have to remind them of how appalled they were at one time of the burden of being a photographer's daughters.

It resumed being something cool at the point when they realised their friends really liked the pictures they had of themselves.

20-Dec-2009, 18:35

Don't worry, I have thousands of digital photos and hundreds of B&Ws. Her attitude can change PDQ with the camera as she loves to pose and ham it up more than necessary for candids as shown here.

Wow, really great atmosphere there! I can feel and hear the drizzle of the rain!

I was a little tired and lazy today (and had and still have a lot of homework to complete) so I just took a quick backlit shot of my guitar during the rain. It's shot with 35mm digital and a smc pentax-m 50mm f/1.7 lens. This was my first time trying out the smearing vaseline on the edges of your uv filter then sandwiching it with another uv filter trick. I think it worked out pretty interestingly. It not only seems to soften the edges but makes the lens more susceptible to flare but the pretty kind of contrast reducing flare rather than the green blobs normally associated with flare. And a confession, this was inspired by the many beautiful backlight yet soft and smooth photographs I've seen here :)

Here's a few 6x7 shots from my christmas holiday around the south island of NZ. It was a bit of exposure training for when my large format camera turned up and I'm not too disappointed with the shots. Some are ok, some less so. They're all possibly a touch on the dark side but that could be the scanner/Photoshop to blame.

And some of them have light spill/leaks. My housemate can take the blame for that. My normally pitch black bathroom was lit up like Time Square for a brief second when my housemate decided to take a shower at around 1 in the morning. Huddling round the film that was in the process of being bundled into my developing tank apparently did little to keep the light off my negs.

Indeed! That's why the use of helper locomotives either in mid-train or at the rear end can aid in helping to control the speed. This particular train did not have helpers, so the engineer was guiding his train downhill very slowly.

Here's a view looking back at coastal Chile from the Gulf of Corcovado south of Puerto Montt.

Traveling south from Puerto Montt, NaviMag leaves the protected fiord's in the late afternoon and heads into the open Pacific to reenter the fiord's the following morning and arrving at Puerto Natales a couple of days later. This area is located a bit south of the 2010 magnitude 8.8 earthquake center. That is snow on the side of the far right peak.

Image captured with a 35mm Pentax K1000 on Fuji Provia slide film, projected, and shot with a Canon G9. No post exposure manipulation but it looks much better on the screen :)

Blowing off some steam. I'm gravitating toward very simple compositions...and very simple things that I didn't really think to photograph before. I think that most people find these things boring, but for some reason I don't.

The foreground seems a bit empty to me but otherwise it isn't boring at all! I like it when people make something interesting out of such banal things such as breakfast. I can't remember who it was who photographed a couple of shiny stainless steel forks thrown into the bottom of their kitchen sink -- I loved that picture!

Gotta say, I love the out of focus highlights in the background, the indistinct gleam from the juice widget on the left, and so on. Even the light sockets in the left background make me smile.

Stephanie Brim

11-Mar-2010, 14:34

I'm particularly fond of my very simple citrus juicer and the fact that I chose it over the attachment for my Cuisinart. I'm also one of those types that still uses a bladed pastry blender (or a potato masher when it disappears) for making pie crust and such. My love of simple things tends to creep into other things in life as well. :)

But you can pry my KitchenAid mixer from my cold, dead fingers. How I lived without one for so many years with how many things I bake is beyond me.

I've been using the clean black borders on my larger prints for years. I got over brush strokes a long time ago, but when I'm printing smaller I usually don't take the time to mask the borders.

Here are a few from last Sunday's Steamfest on the Niles Canyon Railway. A photo special and photo freight were scheduled for the Southern Pacific 2472, Robert Dollar Company #3, and Mason County Logging #7. The 2472 still needed an FRA inspection done, and was not fired up on Sunday. The much smaller Quincy Railroad #2 filled in and did a great job with the passenger train. Most people seemed to enjoy themselves, and the star of the show was 100 year old Mason County Logging #7.

SamReeves

Most of the steam engines here run on recycled oil since it's cheap to get. They should be running on bunker C fuel oil, but that gets expensive after the tender is filled. There's no coal burners in California that I can think of since coal was never available to western railroads. They always burned oil here. However back east where there are plenty of coal mines, the locomotives there and still do run on coal.

One more from this past weekend…

Mason County Logging #7 and Robert Dollar Company #3 roar by near Farwell, California with their small freight this past Sunday. The little 2-6-2T put on a great show, and will do so again this coming Saturday.

Uh oh, is that piano sitting in direct daytime sunlight? :eek: Maybe you hadn't heard before, but direct sun is very bad on pianos. At least put up some curtains if you want that instrument to still play in 20 years.

Second one, guessing may 28-35mm just above the subject's eye level? I like the smooth warm lighting.

It's actually just the 35/1.8 DX lens on a Nikon D300 (APS sensor) -- which is like a 50mm normal on a full-frame digital or 35mm film camera.

I have a zoom somewhere but I just keep this lens on 99.9% of the time.

Thanks all. It started out like this - but the readyload jammed and the jug fell off the back which was punishment for going against nature and putting the windowlight on the wrong side. This was Friday PM. Rebuilding and getting it off with a Leica taught me a thing or two. Tomorrow I'll have another go with 4x5 but it will never be quite so transparent.

You know, it's funny, but LF really can change the way you see. When using smaller formats, I often find myself trying to inject a LF sensibility. It leads to digital snapshots like this:

For proof that it's a snapshot, check the aperture -- f/1.8! No Photoshop either; you can get a lot of "front rise" just by cropping to square!

Sorry, I'm working this to the bone. Since the set just decays over time and will not go away, I've reshot (Leica M9) with a different background to push a feeling of age and depression (memento mori). And Ben, I can't even use a 35mm without a tripod.

You have inspired me. I have just got a pre war agfa record with a sharp tessar. The wonderful 'picture window' negatives dont have to be scanned and printed on the epson after all. I dont think there is a less expensive way to make contact prints and learn about a wonderful process.

Vaughn

4-Jun-2010, 13:35

Contacts prints are wonderful things -- even the above prints are nice to hold and look at -- despite (or perhaps because) of their small size (6x9, like your Agfa).

Ben, Christopher, and Frank, you are all tremendous inspirations (Ben, I found you on flickr before I found you here). Mentions to those not mentioned, as well.

I've just started trying to figure out how to use Vuescan (tip: unintuitive programs are made more understandable by reading the manual) and my Epson 4990. These are preliminary test scans with the negatives laying on the glass, still in their sleeves (I've got to finish building my poor man's betterscanning holder).

I'm kind of fond of these, though.

I happened to stumble upon these Vespas one morning and couldn't resist grabbing my camera and running through half a roll of film on them. I actually took one shot with the Speed Graphic, but it turns out that the sheet of Portra I found in a holder I bought off of eBay had previously been exposed, even though the darkslide was placed in the white position (which would probably explain why it was still there).

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs541.snc3/29686_572802966584_48305099_34339081_842314_n.jpg

Taken with a Canon A-1 with a I forget which lens and Kodak Colour Plus (same thing as Kodacolor VR) film. Slight (maybe too much in retrospect) cross-processing effect and vignetting done in Photoshop.

In conclusion, I've placed too many statements in parentheses (indeed).

Two freshly printed 120 negs (negs from last year). Both are scanned from carbon prints I made yesterday.

Horsetail Falls, El Capitan, 2009
Yosemite National Park

Oak, Cascade Creek, 2009
Yosemite National Park

Nice images Vaughn. Here's a scan of a C-print of the same oak in Cascade Creek also shot in 2009 (6x7 camera, 45mm lens on Fuji Reala):

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4675005147_5a2b028f1d_b.jpg

Shooting it when its overcast is the way to go. I shot it probably around noon when its guaranteed to be contrasty. I tried to dodge the tree as much as I could and adjusted the filtger pack to bring out a yellow/green background. It could probably be improved with advanced masking techniques. Epson 3200 scan.

As a side note, that is a very dangerous section of the park. About 6 weeks ago a friend got his foot stuck between a rock and fell breaking his leg in several places just a few paces to the right of where this was taken. It took 3 rangers and a Yosemite SAR team 2 hours to move him to a waiting ambulance in the parking area.

Vaughn

6-Jun-2010, 12:24

Excellent job, especially considering the light. Fun to see another version of this great oak.

Here is the previous incarnation of the image -- as an 8x10 neg/carbon...

Vaughn

PS...getting that sort of injury is always on my mind. I have done tons of stream-walking/rock-hopping with full packs and have taken enough falls, but have been fortunate with just bruises.

tgtaylor

6-Jun-2010, 15:25

Nice Image Vaughn. I think I like that one better than the former. While we're on that area, here's another scan of a C-Print of Wildcat Falls taken within an hour of the Oak in Cascade Creek. Same camera and film but 75mm lens.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4041/4676574760_5d95bd4d0f.jpg

Speaking of falling with a full pack, from my old army experience it takes about 30 days of daily hiking with full gear before your body completely adjusts and your muscles make allowance for the added weight. In the meantime, falls are common (your foot was just a millimeter short in making that step) and to be expected. In this case I was the one with the full pack (AWII Photo Treker, 6x7 camera with several lens, filters, etc and Gitzo G1348) while my friend hand carried a DSLR on a light tripod. I was following behind about 15 feet pickin' my way and didn't see him actually fall but saw that he did and was relieved when he lifted his torso up so he didn't break his back which was a good possibility on those rocks. "Are you alright," I asked? "I think I broke my leg" was the reply.

A lot of folks passed by while we were getting his leg stabilized and packed away in a gurney. Fathers carrying small children piggy-backed and hoping over the rocks and mothers carrying their small ones sandwiched between an arm and a hip like logs. One misstep and you're down on some very hard roc

Vaughn

6-Jun-2010, 16:58

Thanks...the medium format image was taken when I arrived in Yosemite to find that I accidently left all my 8x10 film holders at home, 400 miles away. I borrowed a friend's Mamiya Press Super 23 camera (w/ a nice set of lenses) and some out-dated film he had in his freezer. The oak was taken with some Delta 100 that had a fairly heavy base fog, but still turned out some nice prints (all the film was given considerable development to bump the contrast into the platinum/carbon printing range -- not intended for enlargement).

I photographed images I do not usually make, and re-made some older images...making the most of a unfortunate situation. Sort of like having nothing but lemons, forgetting the sugar, so just puckering up and making the most of it!

While I don't backpack as much I use to (wilderness ranger for 10 years), I do carry a 60 pound pack of 8x10 equipment when I photograph - having a pack on my back feels quite natural to me, if not a bit more tiring than it use to!

Nice image of Wildcat -- don't think I have seen that falls.

I have been having trouble with Epson Scan so this is my first scan using Silverfast SE, tried Vuescan too but the file is full of $ signs. This tree was one of my first 4x5 photographs too. It leans a lot more than this when you get the perspective right. I love this little camera.

I had a Mamiya C220 camera. A wonderful way to get into MF. It came with several 99 or so expired fuji or konica C41 color film which I used to get used to the camera.
This shot came out the first roll, I took it to a "serious" lab around here and they scanned it for me, damaging the whole roll. The crazy thing is that the colors are untouched, they just came out like this. Shot during a very warm sunset in Patagonia
