arthur_mcculloch2 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 So my contributions. Sometimes, taking photos can be gut wrentching. I intrude on people's lives. Their biographies. Herewith, my shots. The mandatory shot of my partner's son, and a fellow drinker, as we had lunch at our local RSL club; and three women, who were having lunch there, as well. One of these had a terrible experience. Life can be so hard and savage, at times. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Sorry, my monochrom with voigtlander 75mm lens, wide open. No flash. Ramped up the ISO: it seems to handle it well. How do we allow violence against women to continue. It beggars my mind. Anyway, tomorrow is a public holiday for us in Oz. May have some shots from that.

Bill Bowes Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Here is a duo that should get Athur up & jumping. Bees wax candles are always a wonderfully scented object at the Farmers Markets and some honey from various Spring / early Summers flows was on display. A jar of Blackberry came home with me. Fed-2 / Jupiter-8, UFX400, OA & V800 scans. Aloha from the Mainland, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yes Bill Bowes, thanks. I had my first swarm today (it's early spring here - my spouse phoned me at work around 11.00 am 'honey, the bees are swarming'. Fortunately there was a local beekeeper she could contact to collect it. I had no swarms last year; and was thinking our drought may slow them up this year. But, the impulse to reproduce - eros - obviously won out). At least, I hope it was a swarm, and not bees absconding - we had small hive beetle introduced into Newcastle port a few years ago, and they have made their way up and down the east coast. Arrived here two years ago, and wiped out a third of my hives. If the overwhelm the hive, the bees will simply abscond. Great shots by the way; I envy your mastery of film and the tonal range you capture. And billblackwellphotography, that second NY (the piers) shot is really good. I was thinking that a sunrise or sunset - don't know the orientation - would be an idea worth pursuing. Your framing is really captivating.

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I should add, Allen Cobb, your depression breadline shot really calls. Bravo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon_dragon Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Contax IIA, 135mm lens, Kodak Tech Pan film, Glover Park, Marietta, GA. I was out with my IIA just to see if the film was still good and if the IIA had any issues. I wasn't keeping the Tech pan in great conditions, it wasn't in the fridge, but it still seems to be OK. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Herbert Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Luminous; never really a thought until Arthur mentioned it... Luminosity, it is there, and sharp. Or, the mystic Leica glow.....look at the photos and decide whatever. So weird. Edited October 5, 2018 by Allen Herbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Blackwell Images Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Gave you a like Bill for content.....but blown highlights: please do not take offence. Just my thoughts. Perhaps my monitor calibration. No, your monitor is fine. I know my offerings weren't all that great this week as to color and contrast. They were all film scans from over 15-years ago and I've done nothing with them in Photoshop. Hopefully I can find something a bit more aesthetically pleasing to post this week.
