May photo-thread [Big pics!]

Where the fuck is this place? It's like a David Lynch merchandising parlour!

I suppose it is sort of Lynch-like. It's one of these garden centres, at a Wal Mart. But like the opening for Blue Velvet, underneath the cozy exteriors of lawn fertilizer and nasturtiums, lies the evil world of gnome hell.

I like that a lot. The girl lying down on the wall looks like a lion...

Thanks :)

I'm going to try the local lab for B&W. Very reasonable prices for old fashioned fibre based prints with glaze. I'll also get a decent scan done of the neg and post a better image here another day.

I love those climbing goats:D
 
Been experimenting with a teathered workflow in Lightroom via Leaf Capture today. (I'm quite warming to LR's develop tools actually)

Looked up & noticed a stormy sky brewing - this was 30 mins ago from my balcony:

What back do you have, pie?

(trying to hide my jealousy but it would be of no use to an amateur like myself!)
 
:cool:

Never even seen one but I have had my paws on a phase 30 before, took a nice one of the Solent with it :)
 
Pie 1

I like that picture a lot. I prefer it to the two landscapes. Those clouds look almost solid and I love what they do to the light over the buildings.

In your exif data it says:

"Planar Configuration = chunky format (1)" What is that in centimetres? Is that 6 by 7?

What other formats are available on your camera back?
 
This wasn't taken in May but I came across it the other day (in May!), and I quite liked it. It is my folks' place up in Scotland, I have never been :o

:confused:
No idea :D

The Aptus chip is 4450x6088 - (basically 645 film size) & the back is mounted on the RZ (6x7cm) via an adapter plate with interface contacts on it.
It can also be used on a selection of 5x4's, Rolli's, mamiya 645 & Hasselblad 503's etc

How do you get that colour effect Pie 1? :)

An increadably precise and studiously methodical technique called 'Aimlessly Dicking Around With Lightroom' :D


I'm quite into the desaturated landscape look at the moment.

Start with a well metered & grey carded RAW exposure with all camera profiles off & then in Lightroom, it's basically desaturation & raising vibrancy a little, tweeking colour temp to stay neutral, a bit of levels, and a splash of curves.

;)

These are great :D

This one just howls Cornwall corrupted and bastardised.

Is this the same Walmart garden center type place?

Yes. Walmart can be a fascinating place. I've been taking pics there the last few times I've been [I don't actually go to walmart all that much...]

This pic has nothing to do with gnomes, and it's not that great a shot, but it is quintessential Walmart:

Nice shot Madusa, happy and fun like you say.

Here's a more sombre shot of a protestor in Bristol at the weekend (selective desaturation applied):

What's the protest about?

:o :o :D
 
No idea. I thought at the time it was about traffic pollution or something like that but someone on flickr suggested it was anti war because of the guantanamo look.

I still think it was more likely environmental and the bright orange is a practical move to make sure she didn't get mown down by a car.
 
Madamv - love the "goat lord" picture

Pie1 - love all yours

Medusa - love this one too

& favourite has to be the Stanley Edward's one

impressed no end.
