I shot this 14 years ago when I used to be young.

Somewhere in the SE

Listening every day planning to "not fade away"

Here's my cliché....

And this is one of the more poignant photos I've ever taken.

P.S. Count, that's a wonderful shot. Love the atmospheric lighting.

Joe,

Great shot. Such warm colors. Here's one taken a few weeks back with the Jupiter 8 on HP5+:

Gannets fighting on the Bass Rock two weeks ago.

The Golden Gate rising out of the smog

Stumbled accross this thread doing a search for b&w speakers......am into photography in general, so thought I'd add my 2 pennies worth.

Am limited to what I can show you as I'm stuck off-shore at work, bored on night shift, but I've saved a few pics onto the pc's out here.

These shots were taken during my last scuba diving trip to the west coast - in the waters near Gairloch to be exact. They were shot with a Sony DSC-P10 5meg pix camera. I also have an SLR but don't have an underwater housing for it! The sunset caught my eye and the other shot was taken from inside the underwater housing.

The other pic I mentioned....

The other pic I was talking about.....

Pity they have to be reduced to 50k, spoils the look, but I understand why.....

This is the other pic I was talking about.

Pity they have to be reduced to 50k or less, spoils the shot, but I understand why.....

Ok, so I was having a bit of bother uploading pics there....sorry about that!

Told you they looked terrible when reduced....

Anyway, the next one is definitely below 50k, and was snapped by the side of the road on the way home from the same dive trip.....

Ok, so one last pic then I should really go and do some work.......

All the best.

Just a family snap, but this is close to me as it reminds me why I am here at work and, ironically, what I am missing when I am.

I took this one a few weeks ago - can someone identify the car for me?

Triumph TR3 mid 1950's ?

TR3a, 1958-ish?

Took this one about 3 weeks ago -- first go with Tri-X. This one was wide open (50mm/F1.5)

Nice. Although I note the focus looks slightly off as the tills rather than the cashier seem to be more in focus.

(This is something I do so often with my Bessa that I a wondering if there is something out of whack with the rangefinder).

Matthew

Thanks. Yes, I noticed that too. I'm not sure how narrow the depth of field of the Nokton is when wide open, but it has got to be tiny. I pre-focussed on the screen, and waited until someone came to the screen -- so it could be my fault. However, I think when wide open the smaller rangefinder baselength of the bessa's might make it difficult to focus accurately.

Got any new ones for us?

Dan

I've got portraits shot with my 75/2.8 wide open where the subject's hair is in focus and their nose is out of focus. For streeters/candids I always stop down as much as possible (although that's obviously not easy indoors).

Nothing new from me as I have hardly used my camera since starting riding my bike a lot again. So here's one from my archives (I use the term loosely) that captures the sort of doodish/street sorta life I lead.

Matthew

No hoodie for me Alex. And my jeans are generally not preposterously baggy and correctly fitted in the hip and gusset areas.

That pic is from the NFT/Southbank, btw, a world famous skatespot which even appears in one of the Tony Hawk PlayStation games. You also get quite a few BMXers and street/urban MTB riders there and it's well worth a trip. The main spot (the famous bowl with the stairset) is not really a place to ride unless you are at least moderately competant but all around that area there are lots of ramps, stairs, gaps, etc. that are more discretely located and can be quite fun.

My nephew took me down there, but would not ride since he was just to the point where he could ollie. It's ok just to hang with your board tho', as I'm sure you know Biking and photography need not be mutually exclusive -- your solution is actually to get some 'preposterously baggy' shorts with preposterously large pockets for your bessa. Just don't land on it (sorry ag if you just winced). Nice pic btw. Have you ever had some 16 year old say 'oi, WTF are you doing?' or equivalent, when taking a pic?

No -- Southbank is full of photgraphers so The Kids are used to it. Most of them pose hoping you are from some Mag/Shop/Board manufacturer looking to sponsor some yougster.
