Photography Post Vol. 2

[Dijonnaise]

Hey guys, here are some pics I'd like to get opinions on. No they aren't mine, they were all taken by my father.

The thing is, he spends all of his time travelling or in his dark room and never really get time to display his work outside of our house nor does he use internet a lot. I admire his work and he is a true inspiration for me, but I realize there could be a bias, hence why I'd like some comments and opinions from you guys.

Those samples are all scans from a trip to Shanghai and a trip to Vietnam. The square photos were taken with a Mamiya 6MF and the pano were taken with a Noblex.

Thanks!

@ xcoalesce - Dig your style man, how did you get that huge flare? do you have a website or an online portfolio?

[xcoalesce]

thanks dude!

using a nikon 135mm f/2.8 lens on my canon body.

the flare is a mixture of both, sun and my finger.

i put my finger practically on the lens covering the bottom right side.

ima update my website, its sort of wack.. but its http://www.inkblotch.net

Interesting technique... You've got some cool work, are you published?

i'm kinda a noob with equipment as well, i have what i have, and havent taken the time to get better stuff..

do they make nice lenses that fit late 70s minolta camera bodies? i feel like i should just get a canon body haha

[-Z-]

here are a few more i took while in japan. i carry my camera everywhere, but it's just a hobby for me and i just started to really get into it about 6 months ago so i'm kinda learning on the fly. anyway, here are some i liked.

[vetuv]

I will miss being unemployed (read: student) with lots of free time to pick up the camera.

Mostly taken over the last month.

Diggin the daytime long exposures. Which ND filter do you use? Looking to pick one up soon.

sorry, i have no clue hah i just know of nikon fitting canon and older film canon lenses fitting on the 5d

great pics in all these pages. sick stuff

This may belong in the DSLR thread, but I'll ask anyway. You shooting 5D? How do you like it? I've been thinking of going FF for awhile, mostly to be able to use my 24-70 as a 24. It's just not wide enough on my crop sensor. However, I don't know if I'd lose anything resolution wise? I like to print large and the 50D has been pretty damn good. Also don't know if the slower/older interface would drive me nuts... Been considering MF setup with a digital back as well...

[avantxgarde]

faces of european bikepolo.

just a preview.more to come.

love it. but im only coming from a background of owning a rebelxt to now a 5d. im sure youll still retain the quality you want with a outdated 5mk1 FF but damn if your thinking medium format with a digital back then forget the dslr

[haunted]

i take photos with cheap toy cameras.

[c.r.e.a.m.]

first time trying high dynamic range. combines several exposures (under/over exposed) to get as much detail as possible. the intense color saturation can sometimes get a lil cartoony, but it works really well for some. chose some easy compositions fro the first time. was fun to do tho, and now that i know how it works, ill have a better understanding of what to look for next time.

[asimplefarmer]

Done with a real tilt shift

[kromophobic]

That model looks familiar. Did I see her in xcoalesce's portfolio?

Thanks for the info on the 5D. As for medium format, the prices of MF systems is ridiculously cheap, and you can pick up DBs for a song... Basically for the price of a 5D Mkii and a lens...

[asimplefarmer]

@kromophobic yeah That day xcoalesce and I shot that model
