Some shots from the beach:, apologies for poor scan and not cropping out the crap.

Finally got some of my hassy photos developed...

some of my efforts, on my "i dont mind if it gets fucked" OM-20, mainly shot on velvia 100
posted them in the newcastle forum then found this thread!

Great stuff nefarious.

I like these:

Drinking soup outdoors, with cars.

Changing shoes/socks at rock on hillside.

Snowy stone in ice-pond with log.

Derelict sitting-room.

Chess.

lol, that "derelict sitting room" was my old bedroom :D
and i reckon the one of my mate playing chess is my favourite of recent shots.

I say "derelict sitting room", but it could have been a Tracy Emin art installation.......

Got my Voigtlander Bessa L out last weekend. With a 25mm lens and hotshoe viewfinder, it is one of my favourite ever cameras. Here's some stuff from it, probably on Velvia.

And Tri-x

olly, those shots are mad nice!

Thanks! :)
I have a backlog of B&W to develop, so these are older pics.
Bonus points available if anyone can guess where I took them (not all same place)

those most recent pics are sick, although not too sure about the stem position in the bike at the bottom?
haha

i am but a petty upstart in comparison

My general workhorses are these two....

Pentax spotmatic SP + 50mm f/1.4 super takumar (and a 28, 135 and 200mm) and a Nikon FE with series E 50mm f/1.8

Spotmatic.....

***drool

*semi-swoon****

Yup, pretty much the best camera ever. The f/1.4 super takumar is pretty out there too.

Hi everyone, I know it's a really long shot, but does anybody have any 35mm slides which do not have anything developed onto them?
Preferably the old glass ones, as I need to make a new face for my watch.

They would need posting, but I could pay you dorrah via paypal, or make a forum donation etc...

Thanks

Eh?

This is confusing on many counts.

An antique glass slide would have no curvature, so how could that be used for a watch face. All watch faces are slightly curved aren't they?

And, exposing a slide to regular sunlight will fade it.

Are you certain this is what you wanted?

Nope, no curvature. Cheap watch, but I don't want to throw it away.
I was just thinking of thin glass/plastic to use and the fact that old slides were glass popped into my head.

Perhaps not the most sensible of ideas...

coppiThat knows a lot about watches, so maybe he'll have an opinion....

Thanks, I hope he doesn't mind me dropping him a line.

Ed, Thank you for making me aware of Simon Roberts.

Oh dear! Rather bland work in my opinion and doesn't half waffle on his blog!

I think that's a common misunderstanding with a lot of deadpan work,
but i can't argue with your opinion, variety is the spice of life.

What i like is the lack of narrative and simulated objectivity, giving me as the viewer a refreshing opportunity to make-up my own mind for what I'm actually seeing.
I think this is quite rare in a commercially bombarded visual society.

I am a fan of objective, deadpan or banal photography and understand the concept fully. The trouble is Roberts has not developed his own style in my opinion, and has appropriated techniques honed by other more respected photographers.

That is my problem with his work. He has taken the New Topographic aesthetic and not done anything with it. The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape show was in 1975. It's now 2010.

I think this is quite rare in a commercially bombarded visual society.

Look at Thomas Struth or Gerhard Stromberg.

Yeah, Struth and Stromberg are the real deal, guess the Bechers' teachings in Dusseldorf are just as evident today as they were in the 80's.
I do know what you mean when you say "not done anything with it." What you're saying reminds me of something Bernard Toale said:

There are just a lot of artists today who are all starting to look alike. One of the problems I’m having is distinguishing one artist’s eye from another.
I don’t know what it means. It means they all went to a good college and they bought good equipment.
