Finally got to shoot with this lovely lady on friday...

More from today when I can get back to the lab on tuesday

Hey does anyone have an olympus xa2 flash?

I've got one you can have for free if you can pick up from Stoke Newington, N16.

Not to take anything away from the photographer, but with a subject like her how can you go wrong?

kidding - great capture

I bought a lubitel 166b tlr this week for a tenner and had my first medium format experience, as per usual I just walked around soho/fitzrovia on my lunch break looking for interesting alleyways/doors/tunnels. I metered using my phone and guessing really.

Jessops 1 hour processing for 8 quid included a decent sized scan.

Ektar 100/stock 75mm lens

I wound past the first frame because I mistook the number 1 for a random bar, of which there seemed to be many on the back of the film.

You're 100% right! She's got one of those faces

Photographer uses 130-year-old plate camera to capture pictures of modern Britain

Pretty interesting, anyone heard about the German photographer starting 100 year long exposures with pinhole cameras?

Just got a roll of velvia 100 I put through my electro back from the lab. The whole roll sucks.
Heartbreaking really.

Burn down the lab.

What's wrong with it?

They all just seem really flat and washed out. None of the colours are particularly great and they don't seem very sharp at all.

excellent. one heart is enough though.

Pretty proud of this one I got of her on saturday.

Although I'm lucky it came out, I had the camera set to ISO 400 from the previous roll and put a roll of Portra 160 in, so when I thought it was telling me I'd have a good exposure it should have been really far under

I think the fact that she is wearing a black t shirt has thrown the centre weighted meter off in my favour though.

Still a sloppy mistake on my part though

mistake or not, cracking shot!

As my brother in law says - luck follows the skilled

Very nice portrait, drew!

This is what it looks like when the sun is bright..

This is growing on me. Good eye.

Cheers.

I was just talking with a friend today, about how / when good photos happen
(outside studios, and not talking about special events and such, but "everyday things").
Like, most of the time when I'm wandering around taking pictures I have some hobby-horse(s) in my mind (say matresses for example).
Beyond these you of course have an open eye for other stuff that could make a good picture -
and a lot of times one frames stuff and moves around and eventually presses the shutter, but this sort-of feels like "work".
Then there's these pictures you walk by, and it just jumps at you, and you're like fucking wait a minute, this is just great, "click", and there you have it.
The above is one of those.
To be fair it also grew on me, later on, when I realized the light-leak is actually very much adding to the picture.

Oh, and I guess this has been mentioned already, but I can't remember, and it doesn't hurt to repost this really great documentary:
