The Photography Thread

Ha! Comedy classic, eDDe - the closest to a laugh I've ever gotten from Ian Wright, and that's for sure :D.

Agreed!


4-OH, those analogue pics seem to have a quality about them that I like compared to digital.

Agreed!

I meant to say something similar but got sidetracked with a bad case of the giggles from that cutout oddysey.

My first photographic love was black & white celluloid - the romance (and regular migraines from all the chemicals) of the darkroom and all that. There's something about the atmosphere you get with film that digital can't get even close too yet.

One day I'll break out my old analogue cameras again, but it's so fucking expensive! And without a darkroom it's also fairly pointless. But one day. Till then it's great to see someone flying the flag for "real" photographs :).
 
^ I'm just wondering, where do you process and print your pictures? Do you have your own darkroom set-up or is it a community or college-based place? I've enquired at all the local colleges but they all seem to have got rid of their darkrooms to focus on digital. I miss spending all day in a fume-filled darkroom :\.
 
^That roll was processed by a friend, but I'm going to start doing it myself, just because it sounds so fucking fun, and processing black and white is a piece of piss. If I can't be arsed one day I could just pop down to the chemist and it'll be done in no time!
 
^ Yeah the processing's a piece of piss (and cheap) but it's the printing that's the problem. Although I suppose you can just scan the negatives into Photoshop these days and use that. Not quite the same though :\.

But absolutely go for it if you get the chance to do your own processing/printing - it really is a lot more satisfying than just whipping them off a memory stick :).

i do understand there must be a great amount of satisfaction in doing it old skool, but i'm afraid i've gone past that now. i do still have my old film SLR and dig it out now and again, but you just can't beat taking 20 digital photos to get that one good one. it's just too impractical and expensive with film. :\

oh, and if you somehow don't think DSLRs don't take good enough photos yet, perhaps you need to buy a better one. ;)

I wonder how long those same Fender straps have been around. I have the same one and see them everywhere.

I'd have thought since the mid-70's.

Personally, I think it's too easy to just shoot a load of frames at random and select the best, instead of concentrating on getting that one image, straight off - but, then, I'm old fashioned ;)

I partially agree here. Reeling of a stickfull of piccies is fun in a scattergun kind way but the expense of film definitely made me focus more on what I was doing. Each frame was expensive so each frame counted and I worked hard to achieve the desired effect from them all. Digital just lends itself to photo-spazzes. It is much easier to do though and the cost factor swings it in favour of digital for practicality. In fact I'm sorting through a load of piccies from my Sunday Stroll right now and am about to take you all on a Welsh oddysey :D.

Well, if I finish sorting them before five anyway...

And I sadly don't actually own a DSLR. I'm just using my lil brother's "fake" DSLR - looks snazzy but is essentially a point and click. I'm sure if I were ever to get my hands on a real one I could well be swayed. Financially, though, that could be some years away from happening yet :\.
 
^ thank yow!!! XXX =D

pssshttt... who says anything about it being random? :p

perhaps you're an awesome film photographer fishy, but i've tried my best over the years to take that one great photo with my film cameras and ended up disappointed many many times. and when you get home from australia or wherever it's too late to go back and try again. :\

yeah, you're old fashioned.
 
Come with me, people, on a stroll above my little town :)

You can see my house from here :).

Ah, the rolling Welsh valleys :).

It rained, of course :(.

But rain can make prettiness :).

Safety railings are for sissies :p.

There were lots of bees :).

There were lots of triffidesque purpleish flowery things :).

And some mushrooms, but not the exciting kind :\.

In Wales this qualifies as a footpath :).

Who said the Welsh weren't welcoming to us Sasnaegs? :D
(Cymru Rydd (Free Wales) are an English-despising nationalist party.)

It was a pleasing wander. I hope y'all enjoyed it a little... or at least were provided with momentary relief from the boredom of Thursdays :).
