might not be to everyone's cup of [camera] tea, but here's some experimental stuff from my Colorsplash. . .

Cross-processed film image (E-6 to C-41), with intentional contras/grain . . .


Used maroon gel on Colorsplash camera for this one . . .


Used "Bulb" setting on Colorsplash . . .


Anyone here have LCA or Holga pics?

 

blacknblue, dave - thanks for the comps

dave, sorry to hear about the D70...hope they get that cleared up soon.

 

blacknblue - i've always liked cross processed stuff....something I never pursued more than a couple of times.

 

One of my fave shots of my "old" Cooper...believe it was shot on Fujichrome - no PS whatsoever....

 

Dan,
I've seen that pic before and always thought it was great. Another excellent use of depth of field.
You have any Velvia shots?

-Juan

 

Juan, I'm sure I've got some somewhere....I don't even recall what this was right now. I know I had problems getting an EB MCS color balanced correctly with some of the Fuji chromes...I had shot it in dead winter, and it went way blue on me. Scanning was tough....I found that good old K64 was warm enough for some MINI shots, and there's a new Ektachrome out that was a bit warmer as well. Lighting & season play such a huge role in chrome shooting - I know it's an obvious statement. As more people go digital, it has less relevance though.

 

. . . maybe we can start an online petition to bring back K25!

 

Really love that shot, you continue to produce some great ones! Where was it taken?

I've recently been trying to take slow shots of moving water, I love the effect.

 

In keeping with the theme, here are a couple of mine from earlier this year.

 

Hanford, CA

 

What's going on at the bottom of the picture? is that a trashcan an a construction fence?

The top 3/4 looks great, but the bottom is a bit distracting and also a bit too dark. Nice detail captured around that upper round window.

 

Shot during trip to NYC April 2004. Ok, nothing too great here, but worth sharing I guess. I was looking for this first shot only, but then rumbling through the rest.. there is a few okay ones... When I go back, I will be more prepared to shoot better. This was the first time in 3 years I touched a camera... it was not like riding a bike. Anyways, for your viewing pleasure.... on with the show!

For fun






WTC site....







Nothing too special, but worth a peak!

 

Trashcan it is. Still trying to get a feel for Kodak's HIE (infrared film) I was using. Shot it at ISO 400.

Here's another view of that same building:


From same roll of film, same location, different building . . .

 

GoldCountry,

I like this shot.


The geometry in it is awesome.

 

Interesting, I've never shot infrared before. That's a pretty cool effect.

 

Here's a comparison for you . . .

Both of these pics were shot handheld on same evening, using available light, within minutes of each other. The first with my Nikon Fe using the HIE film, the second with my Nikon digiital.

ISO 400


ISO 200

 

Cleaning out my "photo folder" on my computer and ran across these. Thought it was worth a share... I've been playing a lot with that macro... its a great tool. Anyways, here they are... enjoy!

 

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what that last image is of because it's my favorite one of those you posted.

?????

 

Its the back of chair.. acutally the top of the back...

 

Ahh . . . now I see it. Thanks for clarifying it.

 

No Prob... I really like that shot!!! It doesn't look like anything specific. Its just a cool shot.

 

Alright, here is another one. I could not sleep last night, so I thought that I would play around with some crap laying around the house... this is the only one that turned out well... did a little photoshop to color the cherry.

 

a couple of night shots from walking around miami last night....

 

Hafid,

It's been so long since you posted pictures. Hopefully you'll get more time to take some more soon.

Are you carting around a tripod too? Or are you propping your camera on something else?

Dave

 

I really like the first one. The iridescent glow of the lights is hypnotizing.

I'm flying to Chicago in a week and a half, wanting to take my tripod with me. Any advice on how to? (carry on makes sense but do the TSA people give any hassles?)
