h._p. Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I thought the readers of this forum might be interested to see a young man who clearly has his priorities correct. He was shooting some of the excellent architecture of this town in the East Midlands using a mahogany 5x4. As someone who shoots much more digital these days, I was pleased to see that the younger generation isn't quite so sure that film is dead. :-)))<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_rgen_loob Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 H.P. Have you been to this site : http://www.lf-photo.org.uk/ Film is not dead , not in LF . Regards Jurgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h._p. Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks Jurgen, interesting site. I, for one, am not a believer in the whole 'film v digital' debate. I was just really pleased to see someone enjoying himself making pictures the 'old' way and wanted to share that pleasure.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_bryans3 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Northampton - on an international forum, wow! I'm from there too - never shoot there though, far too familiar to inspire me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeaster Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Very admirable, both the pictured photographer and the group of LF enthusiasts in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spodzone Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 <p>Glad to say my Shen Hao got a little bit of attention in Aberdeen a couple of weekends ago.</p> <p><a href="http://pig.sty.nu/Pictures/pigpix.q?dir=large-format-5">Results</a> absolutely blew the <a href="http://pig.sty.nu/Pictures/pigpix.q?dir=aberdeen_2007">D200</a> out the water, too. Who needs 2-stop CP and ND filters at f/22 to slow things down to ~8s when you can just rate the film down to ISO50 and use f/32 instead? ;)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_hart1 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 From another UK resident, it's uplifting to see it! But why was he using so much forward tilt of the front standard, in a built-up area??!! Pity his camera has only base tilt, it seems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethspics Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 There is probably a minute speck of dust on the pavement in front of him and he wants to make sure it is in focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_edge Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I really like H.P.'s photographs. They do a great job of catching the corduroys, the scarf and the cool dark cloth technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_camper Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I also don't believe film is dead, digital cut into film sales and that is all. Eventually a balance will be reached. If film is so dead, why are new scanners introduced (Microtek, Plustek, etc)? Evertime I think of using digital, I worry if I will still have those images 20 years from now. If your images useful life is only 5 yrs (as most commercial jobs...eg-McDonalds won't want the same image after 5 years)...then strictly digital is for you.

fourfa Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I went to see the body of James Brown lying in state at the Apollo Theater in late December 2006, just for laughs. Every other photographer in NYC had the same idea, one of whom was this fellow:<p><img src="http://andyradin.com/3%20-%20Photoblog/2006%2012-30%20-%20exploring%20New%20York%20City/slides/122806%20102122.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
