Marc and Thomas, Beautiful work! Jim

From yesterday. In between shots for a winery in the Napa Valley.
Not that it matters for this shot because it could've been shot with anything but Leaf A75.

@Snickgrr.
Could you explain more about the shot.
It seems totally out of focus.... but I like the patterns (although I'm not too sure about the white horizontal bar).

Week before last. Aptus 75. 2 are 2 shot stitch with 35mm Rodenstock and front exterior 47 mm single shot Schneider with Gottschalt camera.

Yep, totally out of focus. Shot it that way, straight out of the camera. You're right it's all about the pattern. The horizontal bar, in my mind, makes the shot.

hi,

These pics were made on a busy street in Firenze, last August. ( I only processed them with LR this week) My attempt at street photography with a med format. I basically stood still and pressed the shutter as the people walked past.

Thanks, Ivan

Thanks, Ivan

I dig it.

Ivan,

I guess you have also some problems when posting!



Show us these images.

Best regards,
Thierry

Sorry about this. will try again later! Ivan

Thanks!

I like your minimalist style!

As both pictures actually are collages I can only summarize: H3D 39 II, various lenses, Alpa TC, Schneider 24, Leaf 22

Tom

Thank you Tom

NICE!!!!

and thank you Studio12NYC

Certainly not the usual use for this gear, a fire department training exercise.

Mamiya 645AFDII, 105-210 lens, and a Phase One P30+ back.

BEAUTIFUL work, I really enjoyed the composition and the vision on both images. Well done!!

Frank-
Both shots are interesting, but something about your first shot really stands out for me. It is one of my favorite images from this thread and the one about everybody copying everybody else. Perhaps I'm just a sucker for well executed surrealism, but I love the atmosphere and composition The white figure with the splash invokes Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast for me (in a good way, OK?). Thanks for posting it.

Hi,

Street photos, Firenze (Florence, Italy), hand held Med format. I basically stood in one place and snapped the people as they walked by.

Regards, Ivan

@Ian,
Wow, love that shot, and I can feel the heat

In the sharing spirit, two from today:

Greetings,
Frank

I am forever amazed at the quality of photos in the MFDB threads. I always want to comment on each but kind of feel that I should hold back.

Ivan,

Great street photos, so well done.

Frank,

Very moody on the first and very film looking, I like that. The second is not only a fun photo but also shows the difference a good model can make.

As for my fire photo, yes that was hot! I was not very far behind those guys and that was a fuel fire.

thanks Ian,

I made these last Aug, but it took me a while(worked on them for the first time last week) to notice and appreciate them. At first I simply didn't think they were any good at all. The nice thing about large and good quality files are that at 100% you see so much more detail that you just dont see initially at screen size!

Regards, Ivan

Ivan,

Must ask, what camera/lens/back did you use to shoot these street images?
Assume tripod mounted?

They're great - lots of detail, DOF, just fun to study all that's going into the frame.

Jack

hi Jack,

Thanks! I purposefully omitted camera info from this topic( a bit self conscious because I only have a lowly mamiya!). I do agree that these pics should actually be printer LARGE! for all the info and detail they have.

ZD camera with 35mm lens. Fstop was mostly 4.8 and shutter 1/90th. ISO 200. Handheld. Because of the camera size etc etc I held the camera to my eye and waited for the people to move into the frame. The result is lots of photos with people looking straight at the camera! Next time perhaps I will put it on a tripod and use the cable release. This particular morning I went for a walk with the camera and a few lenses in my pocket, but actually only used the 35mm, and I was quite surprised at the number of photos that looked ok. A bit of desaturation in LR and perspective and lens distortion correction in photoshop

Ive got some more ''street' photos at flickr.

Regards Ivan

Finally the weather was good enough to go to the beach, and what happens.....
The moment we're there the sun is gone, hummm did not drive there for nothing so we did the shoot with a little bit of a twist

With many thanks to Roosmarijn for traveling to me for this session.

Frank,
I like the shot number 2. Very nice composition.
Also I have to say that I very much dislike the shot number 1. These two do not look like they are shot by the same photog, nor does the shot number one does any justice to the pretty girl from shot 2 and 4. Just my opinion, hope you do not mind.
andre

Thanks Andre.
No harm done of course.
I love number 1 but that's more personal

can I post something that I had in a mag that wasn't shot with a 35mm DLRS? I just got it in the mail today...
from the newest altpress:

the original was TERRIBLE. I shot it chimped and thought "wow.. delete that..."
then I was up in canada and sent it with 10 other pictures to a magazine.
I edited it as above with the direction "make it back and white and like life magazine"
I did that instead and won. it is easily the best looking image that I've had in a magazine.
this is the original

nikon D2x 17-55mm the band is underoath which is one of my dirty little secrets.

wow... if I sent that to my gf, she would tell me to get that camera right now (she's from campobasso, italy). wow... unlike the pictures of the girl on the beach which would cause her to crush my camera.

No photoshop, all during exposure....

Mamiya 645AFDII, 35mm Lens, Mamiya ZD Back
