digital / manual photography thread
Over the summer took some photos... I was wondering if I good get some commentary! I think they're pretty good if you ask me - I used my dad's manual camera. Which was tough...

Here's another shot of mine. There was some warping on the left side, but it's still not too bad. I wish I had taken more time with this shot though...

They're nice, espcially the first one (the stone wall and trees). I might have to post some of mine if I can find and scan them. I used to enter competitions with them (grandparent is chairman of local Camera Club) a few years ago. The only interesting recent ones are a little different though, so I'd have to ask the model's permission If I can I'll post a couple (I'm pretty sure there are some that don't break 'Poly decency rules).

It depends on whether you are a technical photographer or a mood/atmosphere photographer.

Photography is a bit like painting. For some people, the representation is the end, so all the technical elements - the lighting, the colours, the proper pespective, etc. - are important considerations. For others, the representation is just a portal to something deeper. Sort of like Impressionist paintings.

That warping looks like a fingerprint on the lens...

Well if anyone is interested, I have a bunch of pics on my Website

Here is a random one from Bali:

"That warping looks like a fingerprint on the lens..."

But it's not. I used a plate of glass to hold down the film straight onto the scanner, and the warping is a result from that situation.

What camera do you usually use? I still use a vey old fully manual,because aside from a slightly vintage character it gives the pics, it was an old birthday present.

Ah yes, the dreaded lying a photo flat on the scanner problem...

Some neat photos there, I think the last is my favourite with the grainy effect.

I love B/W shots, which is another advantage with digital is that you can turn all your pics B/W with the touch of a button!

PS. Thanks guys, but then my picture taking improved dramatically when I went digital, cos if you don't like one - you just keep taking them till you get one you do!

"I love B/W shots, which is another advantage with digital is that you can turn all your pics B/W with the touch of a button!"

Also, when you scan in your film to the computer, you can then change them to black and white... It isn't a big advantage for digital in that regard.

True, but at least with digital you don't have to scan them in in the first place...

Pretty cool Monolith! I agree with Drogue, the top one is very nice. I have a few arty ones from my recent holiday. I love this one.
