While I was looking for my sense of humour I realised actually what he said isn't remotely funny or acceptable or even tolerable, it's sick. As for getting a life I will, starting I think by leaving this forum. Bye. That was totally irrelevant and un-necessary

I do, mainly because I shoot RAW, however I try to limit it to sharpening, minor cropping and adjusting levels. Sometimes I dodge and burn if the photo really needs it. I think its worth aspiring to being good enough not to have to post-proccess, if only from a time saving perspective.

Do you actually think that public sector workers should be dragged outside and shot? How would you feel if Clarkson said all the women strikers should be taken outside and raped, or all the children should have their hands cut off? Not really so funny is it.

I'm striking in solidarity...from my job as a freelancer... In honesty I haven't got any work on today so I'm going to go along for the march and take some photos. I agree with the point being made by the strikes, even if the effect on some uninvolved people is regrettable, but it is only for...

Thanks for the recommend, they look really nice, didn't plan on using a strap on the actual camera but I might just pick one up from them anyway.

29th November 2011 - Rollei by Lewis K. Bush, on Flickr Just picked up this Rolleiflex K4A today. £180 with case and close up filters, everything working as far as I can tell without putting a film through it, lenses look in good condtion, just can't wait to take it out.

If I was interested in practicality I wouldn't be shooting film in the first place :P

Just picked up a lovely Rollei for peanuts on ebay, only problem is some damage to the case and a broken strap which I'd like to get fixed, anyone know of anyone (ideally in London) who'd be good at fixing this? I know plenty of good places that do general repair to leather products but...

Unless you really need the money I'd think twice about selling it, its got family history, plus old cameras are beautiful objects, I'd put it on display at home. If you really want to sell it talk to a few dealers and see what they think its worth.

Nice images. Remind me of Frank Hurley, his work is from a similar period, and likewise used a variety of interesting tricks like compositing several exposures together to overcome the shortcomings of cameras at the time...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a photographer not a web designer, so I rather expect people to be looking at the photos rather than the site design. The blog is entirely about photography, my own work and other peoples, did you read any of it? The flash issue is a valid one which I'll look into...

I did a series of pictures of local shops, albeit not action ones but rather more formal and posed: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lewisbush/sets/72157627200363447/ Felt more nervous asking some than others, I had a couple of refusals but all very polite. They did all want to know what they were...

I was thinking somewhat along the same lines, if he's photographing them in a public place I don't understand the problem. This all reminds me of Miroslav Tichy, he rather obsessively took photographs of women without their knowledge using crude home made cameras, lots of people thought he...

An eye for an eye, like sharia law?

Finally got around to building a new portfolio site, I've kept it very simple for the time bring as it's likely to get replaced with a proper one eventually. Anyway if anyone has five minutes and fancies giving me any comments or reporting any bugs they encounter it would be great.
