T, I like this and I think the people add to it, it is a complex composition with multiple layers, it works very well in my view.

I rather like close up shots like this of tree branches, trunks, moss and leaves. Often they work extremely well in b&w showing off the different textures and tones, concentrated on by using a shallow DoF.

Your shot is no exception although I'm actually more drawn to the textures of the woodwork than the leaf itself.

The leaf becomes much more the center of attention if the frame is cropped top and bottom.

cheers asha sorry i missed this post i'll have a look at the crop.:thumbs:

These are some of my first images that I've taken and processed myself. Image 1 + 3 are 120mm shots taken with a Bronica SQAi, then printed and scanned. Image 2 is a 35mm taken with a Konica rangefinder which I developed and then scanned and processed with PSE 11

Please give comments freely I'm very new to film and I appreciate all advice.

Chris the Bronnie is a great camera although not biult for discreet photography once the grip and hammerhead flash are fitted!!

Really nice Erik, that is one weather beaten truck.

Eric, I too like old rusty piles of industrial archaeology, and I think these are great shots (can't quite write "lovely"!), especially the first, which I think is excellent.

Charlotte I really like this set. What I like most is that each of the images is really very different but they work very well together and are quintessentially so Parisian. More details about the camera and film combination would be good. Glad you shared exposure.so it looks a great find.
 
A Crane !!!!

Wide open @ F4 with the FUJI GS645 and Provia Slide film..
Boy is the lens a sharp sucker

RJ, I do like the work you produce very much. You set a high bar in terms of engaging and thought provoking images. The colour palette you achieve and the muted tones in all four suit the subject matter very well. I am unsure how much is the emulsion and how much is your processing technique but the finished effect is very natural.

Mostly though it is the initial apparent simplicity of your composition that in truth contains far more complex picture elements that I find most interesting. This is particularly true in numbers 2, 3 and 4 where the framing of individual image elements is really very strong. Your hallmark use of a shallow depth of field and sharp dividing lines between the 'in focus' picture elements and the 'out of focus' zones controls the viewers engagement with the image in my view. This is most pronounced in the second image I think. Although these images might appear at first glance to be somewhat random in construction I suspect they are anything but!

The bottom line is they are just bl**dy excellent!

Cheers, Robert. :)

We didn't encounter very many film shooters while we were away, but there was actually a guy with a Hasselblad right next to me when I was taking the first pic.

With regard to the colour palette, it's largely a combination of the subject matter, the emulsion itself (Fuji 160NS), and UK Film Lab's scanning. The only thing I'll do to the scans when I get them back is slightly desaturate the yellows (I don't like too much yellow in my pics).

I do use shallow depth of field a lot—sometimes I worry too much—but I really dig the look, especially with colour film. Medium format just gives you so much control over where the viewer looks, which you just can't get with any of the smaller formats. That said, I do wish that I'd stopped down a bit on pic three to get all of the fishing rod in focus.

I'm often thinking about presentation when I'm taking photos, as I usually print my photos 8"x8" and put them in an album/scrapbook. I typically try to match colours, tones, textures, or themes across photos. The order and selection of photos here is based on the layout in my album. :)

If you want it without people during the day you need a much longer exposure - probably using a pin hole - you can do this with the ME (well you could if it wasnt stuck on auto - but it will work on any film camera) , simply take a body cap (available on ebay for pence) and drill a small hole in the centre. You won't be able to compose through the finder so you'll need to set the camera up (on a tripod) by eye. then set the camera to B and lock the shutter open with a cable release (the old fashioned manualsort are cheap as chips) ... you'll have to guess the length of time (there are guides available on line) but i'd expect at least 30 mins.

you could do the same thing with a digital body but beware of dust and crap being attracted to the sensor during the long exposure.

Alternately for a shorter long exposure you could use a 10 stop filter on your 50mm lens - or a bit of welding glass (though watch out for the sharp sides)

Matt is your man for more info, as the big guy knows far more about the joys of long exposure than moi
 
I've been meaning to go up to Edinburgh Castle Esplanade and do somthing similar. I've been up there at 5 in the morning and there were still tourists milling around!

course the other option is to make a pinhole out of a biscuit tin and some sheet filmor something and then secure it somere inconspicuous and leave it - saves hanging arround for the 5 hour exposure

lol or that - i was asuming it was one of these places that always has people wandering about. - pin hole photography is how they did deserted streets in zombie apocalypse films and such before the advent of CGI

I've got a couple of pinholes kicking around one with a "proper" pin hole so depending on how overcast its I should be able to shoot it in less than 30 minutes... I'll take a book...
 
ive got a holga pinhole panoramic which I really must get around to using - apart from testing it when it first arrived I don't think its ever been used
