Soccer boys

[twmeyer]

Picking up the kid after practice, I had the toy camera with me and saw this light on the soccer balls. I ran down, explained myself and started snapping like a fool. Your guess is as good as mine as to how many exposures are in this. It's Agfa Ultra 50, so it was a lot... t<p>

Placing the camera on tripod or using a much higher shutter speed

would make the image much sharper.

Maybe you should check out a couple of basic photography books from

the library.

 

 

 

 

just kidding. . . . : ) nice catch.

Tom's shakey photographs are always enjoyable. I'm a big fan of

blur, shake, whatever, it helps to make photos more expressive.

Also, when I get old and can't hold the camera too well, it's a great

explanation for my photographs :-)

The colors in this one really make it. Tom's photos often remind me

of David Lynch, not sure why, but they do.

Nice photo! Great light, colours & camera shake. I'm curious about the

'toy camera', what type is it?

[Tony Rowlett]

I count at least 5. <p>

I'm gonna try this.<p>

Cool shot!

This ones cropped from a Holga, which has...ah, indistinct framing. I

usually count exposures while I'm making the picture and go with

either typical photo geek numbers (8,16,32) or a more recent system

for me, Fibonacci numbers

(http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fib.html).

<p>The quality of the light is critical, you can waste alot of film

under the wrong conditions. This works well under low light, as

specular highlights jump around and don't blow out so much, since the

exposures are not registered precisely, letting the shadows build

density and depend on graphic patterns/shape to convey whatever...

t<p> Thanks Jeff... I've got good news... that chewing gum you like,

is coming back in style...t
