I love the second one especially, enumbers (the gate). Just, how the hell does one get rid of those grey / over exposed / glary skies one always have in the background? I mean, I know you can compose your shot to exclude them, but on the camera itself. What settings does one play with when taking these photies from a shaded area TOWARDS a well lit area and get some sort of harmony between the two? Really peeves me off when I take one like this, a good - no, great, moody, brooding shot - and the sky comes out all pale and shitty. Or does one simply learn to live with them as the cam does not capture exactly as the eye sees?
PS: Hope u r feeling better. Nature should have done it, as she normally does. After our 2 weeks in blue skies and clean air as opposed to Shanghai's grey, polluted skies, I think I know how you may feel after a walk in the countryside.

It is all about settings i use a pentax k100d and now a cannon d20 these was with the pentax.. it is simply set as a normall 35 mill then i change from f11 to f8 and so fourth ie slowing or speding up.. the gate i took 8 of them and the messed about in gimp.. for a while i would not play with images.. but now i see it as a dark room.. i have in the past printed my own prints and we are setting up a dark room againe.. then out will come the old pentax k100 ive had for some years now.. by no means an expert but getting there..

There we go back on form idd guess more here
what a awsome day out that was long overdue conversation with mother earth and each other slept like a baby following our 15 mile hike..
 
Thought I'd have a bash with colour film and my usual sort of subject matter. I'm quite pleased with the way film works for this sort of stuff, especially in extreme exposure situations like the white rose below.

Taken with a Nikon F3HP, 28/2 AIS and Fuji Superia Xtra 400 in case anyone was wondering. I might have a bash with some 'proper' colour slide film like Velvia next.
 
Not only are those shots superb cybertect but the sharpness is fantastic, lovely :cool:

Haven't picked my camera up for about a month now but have been looking back at the maybe shots, picked this one out for a Lomo treatment.

Not to all tastes I'm sure but I kinda like it, certainly filed under maybe though.

Ta. My best mate organised a string quintet to play in his father's living room for his 80th birthday and asked me to take a few pics.

I was in a bit of a hurry this morning when I posted them as I was off to a car boot sale - came back with a boxed Patterson developing tank for two quid :)
 
In my ongoing obsession with fast prime lenses, a 50mm f/1.4 with my name on the box turned up in the post today. :)

As did an EOS 3 film body which I got for a bargainous price on eBay. Took it out for a scoot at lunchtime with 36 exposures of Fuji Superia and dropped the film off at Snappy Snaps for dev + print & scan. Results tomorrow, hopefully.

A roll of FP4 awaits, perhaps for some home development in the bathroom, though I'll have to sort out a film scanner somehow if I'm to take it much further than that.

Got 'em back and I'm happy with the results. Positive feedback for the seller on eBay :)

e2a: I think this is the first time I've shot with film in nearly five years. :o
