Here are some pics I took the other day










^had to sneak one of Rockett in too

 

Very nice... Absolutely awesome shots

 

Thanks

 

What's that on the roof? A camera?

 

The parking lot lamp in just the right spot by chance?

 

oh yeah, its just a pesky parking lamp lurking in my picture haha

 

Are you pro photographer? Those shots rock!

 

nah I'm not a pro or anything, just a hobby haha, thanks though

 

In Santa Barbara for the week, snapped a few pics

 

Great photos! Are these digital, they really have the feel of film. I have a modified Holga and your photos are reminiscent of that style -- beautiful, modern yet nostalgic photos, nice work!

 

You have pics somewhere with this modified Holga?
What Holga mod, 35mm?

-J/C

 

 

Thanks and yes it is digital. here's a couple more I took yesterday

 

Sorry, no pics of the Holga, though I could work on this weekend. It's simply spray painting the inside with a flat black paint and taping the outside to prevent light leaks which is standard in the Holgas (and some say add to their charm). It's a medium format camera so instead of 35mm it uses 120. Google it for some sample photo, it's a fun little cheap camera.

 

Holgamods is a great place to buy Holgas. You can get them modded pretty much any way you want with things like interior flocking, aperture selector switch that actually works, cable release, etc. I've got one and I love it. I just need to use it more. I've also got a Holga lens for the Nikon digitals.

 

Oh, I have a Holga also. I meant if you modified it to use 35mm film? That's one of the mods I've seen before.

 

some courthouse in Santa Barbara that I saw today

 

Nice to see someone getting good use out of their fisheye lens.
Thanks for sharing!

 

I normally don't like wide angle shots on the MINI --- makes them look bloated.

But this one looks great! The MINI looks very svelt.

Great shots!

 

I agree---they look very Kodachrome-like.

Can you provide the exposure info, please? And any photoshop mods you might have made? Thanks.

 

Great job....very interesting pics. Congrats!!

 

I take shots at -2, 0, +2 for the exposures, and combine them in Photomatix pro and edit them in photoshop, CS3 has a way of doing it, but I prefer photomatix for HDRI

 

I'm in Santa Barbara for the week and I kept seeing this beautiful GP, and never got a chance to snap a photo of it. Luckily for me, I was getting lunch with my girlfriend and this GP parked right across from me haha

 

jon your beach shots are beauts!

 

Cool! Thanks for the tips.
