@allana - love that picture with the globe lamp - it makes a good stand-in for a heavy full moon.
@Jehrot - congratulations! NG is a wonderful institution to have contributed to. i do have that song from Oklahoma stuck in my head now, though - the corn is high as an elephant's eye...
@diello - that urbex photo has a great texture to it, just a tiny bit wobbly and melty - perfect for the subject matter.
@joanneleah - that sort of gender-nudity double standard is depressingly common on the internet. I wish I knew the psychological origin of it. It might be relevant that that female nakedness is (often) perceived as inviting while male nakedness is perceived as threatening. Or it might be that patriarchal institutions are comfortable with women in exposed and potentially vulnerable imagery, but not with putting men in the same situations. Whatever it is, it's utter bullshit.
I need help guys. Just got a Cosina GX-1 for £10 and I’m trying to work out exactly what to do with it!? I’m to this photography game and I’m starting of with a simple 35mm to get the hang of it.
Can anyone tell me if they have experience with this camera?
Also I have no film for it yet but should the camera still progress and the shutter fire even with out film? I put some new batteries in it but not even sure if I did that right!
@diello whatthefuckisthatthingdoingwithabone oh god, it has no business doing that... it's surrounded by lush berries and it's gnawing a bone in an a total abomination of nature and look at the size of it and damn...
Jehrot - I remember that shot, and it deserves such recognition. YAY!
Joanneleah - goddamnit. I wish humans would learn that nudity does not equal pornography.
Dorkmuffin - Lovely and happy moments in time! And you caught them with great composition!
Here are a few of the large batch of not very creative shots for a business client. I built myself a massive portable lightroom photostudio thing to take these. I'd never used one before this. I'll take and post photographs of my construction later today, perhaps.
I clearly need another clamp light from the front, as just having one on each side still creates some shadow which I'm not happy about, but still, overall I'm quite pleased, as is the client.
@Jehrot if you want to give a whitechapel seminar thread(?) on your amazing macro photographs or if blog it,i'd be eternally grateful
@joanneleah - double standards suck as always. Usually the people implementing them usually have absolutely no idea they are doing so. This is life ...:-(...
Summer still hasn't arrived in the UK. We have had a months rain in 24 hours, and it's 15 degrees Celsius tommorow...
