Analog film photography and cameras

(I'm not talking about the Barbican but museums etc. in general)

The apartheid stuff at the bottom toward the end is so densely packed it's hard to get any sense of it I think. Which actually makes me feel kind of bad when the work is so powerful.

Anyway,

Took this the other night, pleased with it

Very atmospheric, really love it.
It is quite ordered though and the cheesmiester in me wants mid-foreground action like a piece of tumbleweed or a ratty Capri parked in the left hand space.

super nice, agree/disagree with the above, can't decide.

I usually make a round, see what's there, and see what grabs my eye,
then pick like 3 to 9 images, then spend as much time as I have just looking at those closely.

Sounds like quite a good approach. Next time.

Completely agree. I'm glad most of upstairs wasn't up my street otherwise it'd feel even more wasteful. The apartheid stuff was very eye opening. I know the place was fucked up, but what I saw today is beyond that.

Less is more for me, I probably wouldn't have taken it with anything else there. The orange lights bug me a little too.

Wish colour film/dev wasn't so expensive! £1 a shot hurts

I like the orange lights, they make it more interesting

+1

nice shot.

only thing that bugs me is that it's a bit grainy and that it tilts to the left.

Just been to the Barbican to see 'Everything was moving'. Some fantastic stuff in there, heartbreaking and eye opening.

But, as always at the Barbican, it's just too much. I was spent after about a third of the exhibition, managed to focus for another third, but the last bit didn't get the attention it deserved.

Good thing is they'll let you back in on the same day with the same ticket - I was playing in a concert there a few weeks ago and managed to go three times in between rehearsals! Guess it'd be tricky during the week but could split it over lunch at a weekend maybe? I quite enjoyed the upstairs section, found the colour bits refreshing after all the b&w downstairs (which I thought were fantastic as well!).. some really powerful images of apartheid - segregated train platform image a really good visual representation of the inequality/injustice.

That photo gives me a photo-broner.

Top stuff.

I really like that, MacReady. I never go out at night with a camera unless I'm on the piss. This makes me want to. I don't mind the grain or the tilt. That last orange light on the right is a bit distracting but I quite like that.

Just saw the Cartier-Bresson exhibition. Apart from his work I really enjoyed Jeff Mermelstein's and Helen Levitt's. Some really beautiful stuff.

Right. Now off to the IWM!

Those are brilliant.

warehouse project?

Just curious about that top one Gone; I don't usually cover up my nose/mouth unless the temps are down to -30s, how cold was it up there?
I dig that patio shot.

Cheers all. Yeah it was warehouse proj, 23rd Nov!

The top photo was a few weeks back when it froze over a tad in Manc, bit chilly up on the roofs but also a lot of guys dont like their faces in photographs.

New stuff!

Great stuff in there, like this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fish_nish/7630805164/

Yeah that is defiantly one of my favourits as well. So much detail is in it. But it was ilford..hp4? I think it had red writing:s but can't rememeber!

Sorry

Sorry

if it had red writing it was maybe xp2.
i think fp4 has blue writing if i remember right...

haha, I was completely wrong.

It was ilford hp5 400.

Amsterdam. M6ttl+voigtlander 35/2.5, Ilford HP5, self dev'd in DDX

I'm somewhat in shock. I've just been handed a RB67 for my birthday.

CAN'T FUCKIN' BELIEVE IT!

So, I now need to pick up a nice light meter - what are people's favourites?

Lucky man!

I've got a gossen luna that I like. Have zero experience of other meters, but it worked well for me, at least landscapy stuff
