linuzdviruz: what is this picture supposed to imply? movement? well it did just that. it also implies that the picture is blurry. other than that, it tells me nothing. try capturing other subjects.

Here is something I wanna work with hehe. Just need to find a place that sells 5.6V batteries for this baby.

Hey, isn't that a 1973 Yashica? :cool: Great camera! I know of someone with two of those he just acquired several months ago! One had a broken apperture ring (won't close) while the other works perfectly! Regarding the battery, we just made an adaptor for it using commonly available batteries.

linuz,

It's hard to appreciate work like that and dont be surprised to get reactions like that of pnoize. I however, take the time to look at things from various points of view. This thread is basically digital/general photography and doesnt really include abstract or digital art. The shot you posted, is classified under either abstract art or digital art. With the shot you posted, I wish I could comment, I can't really say much as I am not an abstract artist myself, truly sorry.

 

@floppydrive,

I have the GS sir Its circa 1968 hehe. Got it working already and I have a roll of Kodak TMax 400 in it Black and White baby!

[n00bish]

Photography is good. I love to take photos with my trusty phone. But it's just a vga cam, not like those high-end phones w/ digicams. Nde naman karir ung saken eh, just for the fun of it. Sometimes, I get to capture unexpected moments. ^^

[linuzdviruz]

Ok lang po, ibig sabihin lang e sa susunod kelangan ko kumuha ng mas matinong shoot. Medyo abstract nga, kung ako magi-interpret sa tingin ko para syang cup of coffee and the lights being the smoke. Medyo blurry po kasi di naman makapag focus ng maayos dahil tumatakbo po kami ng around 60.

 

Anyway salamat po, sa susunod akin na pong pagbubutihan .

linuz,

 

dont get me wrong, continue to do your thing if that's what you really want. Do some research on digital art using photography. You might be different, but thats what makes us individuals

[linuzdviruz]

Salamat po.

It's ok, just learn from it. Make most of what you have then constantly learn and apply.

 

Speaking of abstracts, this is double exposed from my holga.

mig22: looks like the lab that developed your negatives seems to have a dirty roller, as evidenced by the streaks. that happened to me with my roll from my rolleiflex.

[Nooblet]

Currently shopping for a Hasselblad XpanII and maybe a Leica M6

[gooei]

...anyway, the photo shoot for the clothes was held inside a small boutique, the original background was a white cloth that was laid on the floor. i also used two 110 watts studio strobes to light this. i shot using RAW file format to give me enough color space to play around with. on post process, i selected/copied and pasted the image on to a new file with a white background. finally, converting it to CMYK mode @ 300 dpi and saving it as .TIF.

 

oh i see.. but with the lights that u used, was the outcome good enuogh even without retouching in photoshop? tnx

Actually sir it's my 7 year old scanner. The negatives were fine, I am having trouble pinpointing the problem on it.

But I didn't know that it can happen on an actual negative. Thanks for the tip.

What: LomoLove, a photographic exhibit on lomography

 

When: September 9, 2006 7pm

 

Where: Marikina Shoe Expo at Cubao

 

Why: To spread the love of lomography to the Philippines!

 

Additional Information

 

What is Lomo?

 

In 1991 a group of Viennese students discovered the Lomo Kompakt Automat when on holiday in Prague. This mass-produced Soviet camera was so cheap and easy to use that they shot rolls of film, ignoring the established rules of "good" photography. The resulting snaps were often odd to look at, out of focus and, due to the character of the Lomo lens, garishly coloured. But they were wonderfully fresh. The craze for Lomo spread so fast that when, in 1996, the St Petersburg manufacturers threatened to stop making the camera, Lomographers stepped in to guarantee all future sales.

 

Today the Lomographic Society has embassies across the globe with Lomography.com as its base. Hundreds participate in international Lomo events and add to the ever-growing LomoWorldArchive.

 

Visit the Lomographic Society website at www.lomography.com to find out more about LOMO.

 

The following are the company's 10 Golden Rules of Lomography:

 

Take your LOMO everywhere you go & whenever you go.

Use it anytime — day or night.

Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.

Shoot from the hip.

Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.

Don't think.

Be fast.

You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film.

You don't have to know afterwards, either.

Don't worry about the rules.

Lomography in the Philippines

 

Very little is known about the beginnings of lomography in the Philippines. Noted artist At Maculangan is said to be the first to formally introduce the concept of lomography in the country, having shown lomo exhibits during his tour of Europe. Together with fellow lomo lovers, At initiated an e-group in 2003 to keep the growing band of Filipino lomographers together. Since then, Lomomanila has mounted two exhibits comprising individuals from as diverse professions as photographers, advertising executives and students. After being dormant for a few years, the group with its old and new members launches its first of a series of exciting new activities with LomoLove, a lomo exhibit at Blacksoup Projects Gallery in Cubao-X (formerly Marikina Shoe Expo)

 

Details of the Exhibition

 

Participants of the lomographic exhibition include Monica Barretto, Marge Francia, Sarah Encabo, Zoe Ezequiel, Francis Hernandez Inton, Mike Policarpio, Jed Quiambao, Katrina Rodrigo, Joanna Francesca Tripon, Dek Tinawin, Timmy Tuazon, At Maculangan and Jake Verzosa.

 

LomoLove is a celebration of life, a journey to discovery and a flight to freedom.

 

This exhibit aims to fill the entire Black Soup Gallery with lomographs by the participating lomographers listed above, with each contributing ten of his/her best shots. These shots are replicated ten times each image to build a Lomowall, an entire wall filled with images that have a discernible pattern when seen from afar. This mosaic of images will use approximately 1,000 prints of 3R size photographs. Lomographs taken with Holga cameras are sized 4x4 inches, and are displayed separately in a standee

yes. clothes, bag and their shadows are "as shot". i had to change the background since it took a darker shade due to the cement floor of the boutique.
