Have I clicked on the wrong thread ???

Lets all stick to posting images and commenting on those images. Stop littering the thread with non-relevant material.

I think AFi7 and Elinchrom are the ideal combo for portraying our new bot overlordettes

You're a genius.

Only if genius means idiot.

Shot yesterday, very early in the morning. And for those who are concerned: I did go there by bicycle. I rarely use an automobile and I do not fly. (And for the record: no tunafish, wearing an extra sweater when it's getting cold, washing laundry at 30 degrees Celsius, never throwing away food.)

I travelled by public transport today for over six hours to shoot an assignment. A bus didn't show up when I was some 25 kilometres from my destination, where a group of people was waiting for me to be photographed. I tried to call from a public phone (don't use a cell phone either) to announce my delay, but the damn thing wouldn't take coins. Nobody at the bus station was able to borrow me a phone. When I arrived one hour late all my subjects were still patiently waiting. Mind you, all these people are working at a gas station (yeah, another concern) and most had come back from their day off to meet me. I felt I had some explaining to do to them. Gosh, trying to be an environmentally friendly photographer can be quite hard sometimes.

On the subject of shooting by bike, this one was made by biking from my apartment over the Golden Gate Bridge and capturing this image.

Nicely done! The cycling I mean, of course (cough, cough) ;-)

This one has been done yesterday. I took the Greenwheels to get there. This is a subscription where you share a car with a lot of other people. You book it when you need it and than park it back when you are done. Cars are small and pretty economic. I don't own a car and normally take the bike.

I have also lived on a boat for 2 years where I used solar energy and used rainwater for drinking, showering, cleaning etc...

I figure this is a pretty 'green' shot.

If only life were as simple as you, Ray.

This is probably the most green shot i've seen recently. Everything gets recycled, even the model. keep up the "green" spirit Dustbak.

Here's a 'green' shot from a few months ago:

Wow Mark and Stewart.
Lovely shots.

Especially the water and the old wooden house, wonderful.

Thanks, Frank. Sadly, I prefer Mark's to mine!

Back to photography. Please.

Thank you Michael.

An oldy that I just ran into today (does that count for recent?). Sometimes I go over stuff that I shot but never took the time for to actually look at.

Leaf A17-Digiflex-ZF25/2.8

LOVE IT, and I mean that.
I love the more gothic looks and horror and this transforms me into a super scary horror haunted house movie.

From a shoot two days ago...

These three images are brilliant (above all the third one). We all love the look of "imperfect" images today... but it has nothing to do with perfect technique... it's all about the moment and the expression. Really like them a lot - thanks for sharing!

Thanks Tho_mas. I can't tell you how many times I have heard from clients, art directors and other industry types who look at my site and say "I love the polaroids" even though my site is 95% digital. It really puts all the bickering about pixels, DR, "why's this new camera not got a better bla bla bla" - into perspective.
Anyway, it's really fun to shoot polaroids, and the models love it.
Cheers.

I think it has to do with a sphere in images I would call somehow the absence of meaning. When all questions are answered... the image is totally uninteressting. If there are only questions... the image is "bad" or "high-flown". It's always a question of the "right" mixture or maybe the balance. In #3 the dark parts may eliminate the face and the textures... but at the same time this gives me the chance to imagine a (short) "story". Well... every mystery story gets its suspense from what is not shown or illustrated... you know what I mean.
... hard to explain as I am obviously no native speaker :-)

Great shot!

Very nice..How well does Helicon Focus handle motion..ie. light wind and trees or grass. I downloaded the trial and have done some indoor stills....but the heat index has been >100 degrees so I haven't done any landscapes.

Nice! Good to see at least someone has summer

Unfortunately, not well, so it's not an ideal solution to achieving extended depth of field. I am hopeful that the new Hasselblad tilt/shift device will offer a better solution.

May I come by your office next time I'm in the area ?

Edmund

Hi Edmund, I would try to get you in, but you may have to pretend that you are an IT consultant from India:)

Stewart.. I like your image.. Mine is not a house though.. It was an old mill. Also wanted to clarify I did not use a polarizer for this shot.. only a ND filter.

I am an IT consultant from India

Howdy Michael:
If I can get to knock at your studio's door just after figuring out by the perpective from your window, will you hire as your assistant?

Eduardo

Just shot these today for a magazine.

Great work

What was your lighting, back/camera for this set up

ron,

the first one is WOW!
Is it all daylight?
Also, still not clear which MF system you use or are these from your mk3.

A few more from the Olympics style shoot. Details to come...
