i've become a huge fan of the neopan films. The Neopan 100 is a beautiful film, it's literally grainless.

 

Your photos came out nicely, i like the first set better. I know you're a fan of contrast, i am too, but in a couple of those i think you over did it. The one of the guy in the suit sitting on the hay as hardly any tonality.

I've been using AGFA APX 100 a lot lately, i've really been liking the results. I'll have to give the neopan 100 a try. Neopan 1600 is fantastic if you're out in low light without a tripod.

 

As far as the contrast, i see your point. If i had my way, my photos would have bright whites, dark blacks, and a wide range of grays to help me get the details. But we can't always have our way. I definitely wasn't expecting a couple of those to turn out as contrasty as they did, and while i still like them, i agree that they could have more gray. As much as i love contrast, i still like my photos to be detailed, and in many situations i'd rather have a wide range of grays and detail than a high contrast photo.

I must say that sad as it is I think I'm gonna keep the borders they're nothing special but I think they play off the photos in a "revealing the image" sort of way - guess I'm not one to be objective since I thought it was a great idea to start with and gonna be hard-pressed to alter my feelings!

 

As for the second point - fair play! I must say I was worried if I put up too much non-graf related stuff I'd get flamed so thought I'd start by showing I am into my graf and not just into photography and after Internet fame by flooding forums with my photos.

 

All's digital my Sony F717 kinda digicam/dSLR crossover, full manual control etc.

 

Alright then now for something completely different to show that I can photograph other stuff!

My critique...

 

1) Ditch the photoshop brush border.

2) Try to find more subject matter. Granted this is a graffiti board, but there's more out there.

 

 

secondedededdd.

 

but yeah, the picture of the hand and the wall is nice, and I like the picture of the kids running too. But photographing graffiti and dj'ing are kind of massively played out, in my opinion.

all these..bangin'..

thank you sir. I'd appreciate it if you could edit the pictures out of the quote though. Quoting a picture is ok, but the full post quotes throw off the flow of the page. thanks.

 

 

Gnome,

i really like that shot of the spoon. the white and the water droplets just pop out. Do you shoot digital exclusively or do you sometimes use film?

I do all digital. I'd like to play around with film, but I can't really afford to at this point. Perhaps when I quit smoking I'll take the $16 a week I'm saving and start doing some film too, but who knows.

If I quit smoking i would save $2,500 a year. I could buy a couple really nice lenses or even if I so desired a dSLR. Smoking sucks.

Ha!

 

The lowest rating I'd give ANY of those pictures on a scale of 1-10 is a 5, average, and that girl peering out the door way is approaching fucking national geographic material... but that's just me.
