You're a mind-reader Gene. I was just thinking of you today, along these very lines !

It was -12 degrees F when I got up this morning and I thought to myself "I'll bet Gene isn't missing any of this".

I haven't photographed much in the past week, but I've been doing a ton of cleaning around the house and building some shelving and a new workbench in the basement/darkroom. Today I found a plastic bin full of really old negatives from back when I first started shooting film. I was a novice then, both at shooting and also scanning. This negative was of interest to me because I thought it looked great but I remember my scan was abysmal. I rescanned it and am very happy with this shot - I need to print this I think.

This is "Balanced Rock," seen at Suwannee River State Park in Florida. This huge limestone edifice is shown here when the river was at the lowest point I've ever seen due to drought. I made this photograph in 2011, and in 2015, with flood-stage water constantly eroding around the formation, the rock fell sideways. I have not seen very many photos of the rock in such a view, with the low water level.

Nikon SP or maybe my old S2, probably my 5cm f/1.4 if I remember right, on T-Max 100 film dev'd at a lab:

Nice work Peter. I really need to get a better handle on studio flash...

[Peter De Smidt]

Thanks, Bryan! Shiny things, even small ones, can be challenging. Do you see the back loop that holds the pendant to the chain? I tried everything I could think of to get a nice bright and even shiny metal look on it, and I couldn't.

[chassis]

Thanks Peter. Does the back loop have a concave surface? Probably tough to get highlights from it if that is the case. Maybe a small angle grid to camera right roughly at camera height, normal to the deepest surface of the back loop, just an idea.

[Corran]

Since we are talking digital here, I'd be tempted to move around a light till it hit the reflection you wanted and then composite it in :).

[Peter De Smidt]

Tried all of that....and a bit more. :)

Hey Peter

Beautiful image of that pendant! Love the lighting.


FWIW- Adding light to the back loop of the pendant may be the good time for one of those tiny flexible fiber spots attachments/head that can be had to work w/ several different makes of power packs. I was recently looking at a set for sell but forget where it was that I was looking it over.

Yeah and they don't call 'em "saw palmettos" for nothin'!

The Gulf Islands National Seashore is an amazing place and I can't wait to go again...I can't believe I never went there before in the many years I've been traveling to the Mississippi gulf coast. Now if I only I could afford to buy the canoe I want so I can paddle to the actual islands...well maybe this year if business is good.

Nice composition and sense of movement in the second image, Bryan.

I prefer the first one, with the dramatic light heron against the dark background in contrast to the normally exposed foliage.

[Corran]

Thanks - you have both described what I like about each image. I was going for the "darker" feel in the second image as a counterpoint to the first.

Still trying to get a handle on XX film, but it's looking good with Pyro.

[jp]

Austin; the photo seems to show a feeling of being there, and it's very expressive too.

Bryan; I like the 2nd photo. The first photo the branches are only composition it seems to me. In the second photo, they are both composition and mood.

This is at a beach about 2 miles from my house just before sunrise. D600/Sigma35art.

[tuco]

Flea Bay. it was advertised as in excellent mechanical condition but there is a lot, seemingly excessive, free-play in helicoid/lens. You can get a little "clunk" sound from it and see movement in the helicoid. It's like a slightly smaller diameter tube fitting inside a larger diameter tube kind of play. Does anyone know if that's normal?

We had fresh snow, so I went for a photo-walk to enjoy it. The place with the sunshine and fresh air was the Breakwater. I was the only one to walk it, so I got to enjoy pristine clean untrampled snow at a normally popular place. There were some missing rodents and dead birds and bird parts once in a while breaking up the sparkling snow texture. A big owl or other bird of prey had been busy out there. The snow texture was unreal yet quite normal at the same time.

[Peter Mounier]

Hi David
To display your images that are hosted on Flickr you have to follow these steps ...
Open your image that you want to display on LFPF. Click on the "share" arrow at the lower right of the Flickr screen.
From the share page, click on the "BBC code" option.
Copy the code that you see in the window and paste it somewhere so you can edit the code.
Highlight just the part of the string that begins with Https and ends with .jpg (like this ... https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7186/6900620303_32368c92df_b.jpg). It should be near the beginning of the string.
That is the web location of the image.
Copy that part only and insert it into your post on LFPF with the tags before and after that string, without any spaces, and your image should display.

Ken, this has a remarkable ironic quality -- the complete anonymity and absence of any facial expression, the figure in modern garb and glove, using a power tool, while gesture, simplicity of composition, and relationship of figure to frame, subtly printed with the muted tonality you have mastered, all speak to the involved care of a fine craftsman, a definite individual. The image has a timeless, classical sense. Wonderful! So much to learn from it!

[tuco]

OMG, gloves, body suit, breathing mask and eye protection just to sand a table. Okay.

[Rich14]

Exactly - it's an old drafting table is from the early 20th century.

Generally paint is the only finish that contains lead. It would be unusual for a table to be finished with paint. Especially a drafting table. But it's possible.

The finish is more likely a varnish or nitrocellulose lacquer, both of which generally would be non-toxic. A table from the early 20th century would most likely be finished with shellac. Shellac is non toxic. In fact, many pharmaceuticals have shellac coatings.

A respirator mask is generally a good idea in such dusty work just to reduce the air-borne particulates, which although non-toxic can be irritating and are a hazard for people with pulmonary disorders.

But the full-body suit is pretty unusual in a woodworking environment. Maybe the wood is a tropical variety or other species to which he has a known allergy.

Austin, it's nice to see this bigger than on Instagram. Love the use of the wide frame. I would love to see a shipwreck like that.

[austin granger]

Thanks Bryan. Instagram really is a terrible way to share panoramic pictures. I'm enjoying the XPan though. It took me a while to warm to it, but it has its strengths, and is super easy to use as well. Our family is going to Peru next summer and I think the XPan is headed for the Inca trail!

[austin granger]

There are a couple of interesting shipwrecks near the mouth of the Columbia River if you're ever out this way. There's a good reason the area is referred to as the "graveyard of the Pacific."

[tuco]

Some great stuff since I last checked in here. I have to call out the picture of the Kayaker Tuco; that's amazing! And I know you know this shipwreck:


Did you have to beat back the blackberry bushes to get that shot? Last time I was there they got the better of me. That darn fallen tree on the shores edges is still there.

No blackberry bushes, but I did slip on some slimy rocks and fall in the mud. To photograph this wreck, you have to suffer a little!

I really like that last one Ken, very mysterious and dramatic.

I was going though a shoebox full of old stuff last night and came across these snapshots from a long-ago road trip. I don't remember the exact temperature (it was below zero) but it was one of the coldest days I've ever felt. The car was sitting there idling, empty, and as far as I could tell, with no one around. It almost seemed alive.

Thanks, BJ

It was a fast session, well over 100 shots while she was in constant motion, I often failed to wait for the strobes. My four mid-session 5X7's were poorly exposed. I missed the calculation.

I asked her to comb out her magnificent hair from a bun and put it back into the bun. I think it was 10 minutes. She commented how it was the fastest and easiest shoot she has done.

Not a pro, a friend. She saves children. I am humbled by her goals and commitment to human life. TFP

Interesting BJ. Really interesting is how it looks when you scroll it up and down. The diagonal make the rectangle appear to move sideways.

I now use an iPhone SE, do you find the X camera to be significantly better at this type of shot. I see it's a 'detail'.

Here's an iPod 6 shot. Full frame. The Bean.

Thanks Randy. Nice colors and shapes on the Bean image.

I have not done a critical evaluation of the X camera. It is good. I think the most noticeable thing for me is color rendition seems better than earlier cameras. This could be due to the optics or graphics engine.

Just a cell phone snap. Been travelling the last 5 days or so, making photographs from Charleston, SC to Nashville, TN. Got a ton of film to develop and a new enlarger in the trunk of my car to reassemble in the DR...fun week ahead ;).

[Tin Can]

Interesting how Ken Lee's and Bryan's images nearly echo each other. Moreso on a cell phone yet still holds up on my monitor right now.

Scroll between them.

I think it is high time we stop apologizing for cell phone images, the latest cell phone cameras are astounding.

I am glad to see their improvement and this Forums acceptance of all imaging methods.

[Corran]

Interesting observation Randy! I am still not a big fan of the ergonomics of my cell phone...but I do like to futz with the exposure compensation (!) to get darker, contrastier images like the above.

I met a rep from B&S last year and she showed me some Pt/Pd prints she made from digital negatives, made from cell phone images. Looked gorgeous.

[Rich14]

To Fangel:

I like the first one, also.

What's the story behind these?

[Tin Can]

Add a BlueTooth selfie stick, actually buy 2. The BT remote is very handy. The stick can look over a wall...

The phone mount from the second stick can be added to an old-school camera handle. Makes it much better for me. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/131401-REG/General_Brand_Right_Angle_Bracket_with.html

I have even mounted a cell phone to a 8ft tall Arkay camera stand.

Nice shot of the front - when I was there the light was not really on the face of the building so I didn't shoot anything outside. I like the reflected light / glint on the cross.

I like the tree shadow and silhouet! (and the dog is great, too). A good friend uses an 8mm quite a bit, originally with B&W IR film, now FF digital with the camera set up to record IR. The perspective is challenging to work with! Geir used a Widelux before going to the 8mm set-up, so he is use to twisting his vision to match the equipment!

Thanks for the link Vaughn! It is nice seeing other photos from the 8mm (most people are just collecting these optics and only have pics of their lens and don't actually use it!). Some very nice photos on that site. It's definitely a hard lens to use well and so big that it doesn't make it into my bag as a "daily carry" kind of thing! Next time I am hiking out on the AT maybe I'll bring just that lens...

Leigh, you'd think they'd include a box of sheet film with a box of apples.
But then they'd have to quintuple the price. :cool:

And how can you advertise B&W film as "red delicious"? False advertising.

David, I missed the church while replying earlier. I really like the light on the organ pipes.

Something a little different...the wife and I were cruising through Columbia, SC near USC and saw a sign for a graveyard. We headed that way and found that it was closed for "cleaning." Saw this immense pile of real and fake flowers and had to grab a photograph. It was kind of surreal.

http://www.garrisaudiovisual.com/photosharing/charleston-9442ss.jpg

Should've thrown a roll of color in my other camera and shot this with Portra or something, because it was full of fake red flowers in yellow sparkly paper vases...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about if you've been to a cemetery.

Also I only just now realized the sign is misspelled!

I particularly like the 2nd one. It has a clear juxtaposition between underwater and out of it. Kind of makes you do a double take.

[Corran]

Thanks for your thoughts - yes the in/out dynamic is what interests me, but it's difficult (due to water motion and especially lack of viewing and direct composition). Here's a few more from my second roll:

I am still experimenting with the aesthetic, and I think I like this extra-crunchy grain. This second roll was Kodak T-Max 3200, the previous one was Double-X. I think pushing the XX a stop or so will get similar results and I have a ton of it already.

Thanks! I have a Nikonos V coming to me next week...the IV's meter stops working after getting in the water for a few minutes. Not sure why (it's not flooding). Hopefully the V works better! These were all shot by bracketing heavily from a guessed exposure. I also have the 15 and 35. Looking forward to your shots!

Ahh gotcha. I've heard the IV are prone to flooding, but not sure about their meter's quality.

So far I haven't shot anything underwater, all above water with the 35 mm.

The V is a great little machine, love it! I may paint the orange to black to make it more discrete for street photography.

[tuco]

Wow. I didn't have the nerve for this hike. Great feeling of space.

They certainly wouldn't make this trail today. But they put steel poles in the rocks with a steel chain connecting them together for you to grab onto. Oddly, for as much of it put in place, there is about a 15-foot section without chain and it's a big, angled rock sheet slippery with sand on it and no other rocks or foliage in reach to grab onto. If you slip there you're likely going off the edge. I'd guess to say that's probably where the fatalities occur.

A lot of areas are flooding again this year.

Wild weather.

[Corran]

Walking around Atlanta today, I brought along my Nikon SP with a new 12mm f/5.6 Voigtlander lens. This lens is ridiculously wide and for landscapes is just...too much! I somehow like the 15mm fine. It really is quite a bit wider.

Anyway, I wanted to try shooting some architecture with it as I figured it would work well for that. I went to the iconic Peachtree Plaza building, a.k.a. the Westin Hotel and found some interesting views. I've been to this hotel for a few conventions but never really looked up at the architectural details. Here's a couple images, taken on Kodak XX:

Great Bryan. You’re on to something.

[Tin Can]

I assume the 35mm is handheld? It will be interesting if a tripod is allowed.

Nice work!

[Corran]

Thanks chassis and Randy. Indeed, it was handheld, but this view is on like the 8th floor in front of a ballroom or something. There was no one around. I had my tripod on my backpack and I probably could've grabbed a shot on 4x5 without anyone complaining, but I decided to wait for another day when I could bring my widest lens. I did snap a shot with a panoramic MF camera...but it's not that great.
