<p>Hi,<br>

I started self publishing photo zines last year. I've done four so far, three of which are street photography. <br /><br />Scans of the zines can be viewed at <a href="http://www.fistfulofbooks.com/" rel="nofollow">www.fistfulofbooks.com</a> - you can even buy one (or more)!!<br /><br />Below is a sample spread from each zine...<br /><br /><a title="94 People preview by sar-photo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sar-photography/8391047564/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8500/8391047564_819e51b258.jpg" alt="94 People preview" width="500" height="287" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Dress shop preview by sar-photo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sar-photography/8391047324/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8193/8391047324_6e0fd07bc8.jpg" alt="Dress shop preview" width="500" height="396" /></a><br /><br /><a title="ABCD preview by sar-photo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sar-photography/8389963819/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8331/8389963819_ebb2eb63f2.jpg" alt="ABCD preview" width="500" height="287" /></a><br /><br />Cheers<br />Simon</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments - it's always nice to hear that other photographers like the work that you are doing!<br>

I am now in the process of deciding what my next project will be.<br>

Cheers<br />Simon</p>

Earlier this year I spent several days photographing a local veterinary practice here in Scotland and I have posted the results on my blog.

<br />Please take a look!<br /><br />Cheers<br />Simon

<p>I'll second Barry's recommendation above. I have a copy and have read it from cover to cover - found it very interesting plus it has some great photographs!<br>

There is also a new book (Street Photography Now) due to be released in October this year.<br>

Cheers<br />Simon</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

I use several different cameras and the images from each one go into a separate folder. I have added these folders as favorites in Adobe Bridge and have also added keywords to the images.<br>

My question is... if I have 3 separate folders in bridge and each has an image with a keyword of 'tree', can I filter on that key word and have all three images (from three separate folders) displayed? As far as I can see, it will only display the image from the currently selected folder.<br>

I used to use Foto Station and that would display all images with the same keyword no matter what folder they were in - but I have invested in PS CS4 and Bridge and do not want to use another program if I don't have to.<br>

Cheers<br />Simon</p>

I have spent ages adding titles and keywords to images for a stock library. I

added the metadata in Bridge CS3. I sent the images to the library and they say

that they can only see the keywords etc if they view the image within bridge -

they cannot see the information in Photoshop, Fotostation, Photomechanic,

ACDSee etc...

Any ideas as to why?

Cheers

Simon

Thanks Robert! Is that saying that for exposures over 10 seconds and below 100 seconds you need an extra 1.5 stops and an extra 2 stops for exposures over 100 seconds? Sorry, but I'm not quite sure how to read the table!

Cheers, Simon.

I managed to find some information on Efke PL25 film, but I'm not sure if it will be similar adjustments for Rollei film.

to 1/2 second - 0 stop;

1 second - 1/3 stop;

10 seconds - 2/3 stop;

100 seconds - 1.5 stops

Let me see if I understand this correctly. If I meter 2 minutes @ f22, I should expose for 6 minutes @ f22 - is that right?

To me, these seem to be rather minor adjustments (perhaps I'm just used to the long times needed for FP4+. A 2 minute exposure becomes a 17 minute exposure with FP4+). I cannot adjust my camera in 1/3 or 1/2 stops, so I guess I'll have to select the nearest one.

Cheers,

Simon.

I have recently started using this film and cannot find any information about

reciprocity failure. I find this quite startling for a slow film where it will

be very common to get fairly long exposure times!

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Simon

I have managed to get the lens off the converter - it was a two person job though! I think it was due to the release on the converter being very stiff from not being used for a while, it has freed up considerably now.

Many thanks for all your help.

Cheers, Simon.

Thanks Max, but I still can't remove the lens from the converter! Is the rectangular switch with the silver button supposed to move?

Cheers, Simon

Nope - won't budge. Is the thing with the silver button on it supposed to move? How? Which way? What's the silver button for?

Can someone explain exactly how the lens is removed from the tele converter please?

Cheers,

Simon

Sorry! It's an S converter for a SQ-Ai camera. I have attached a 200mm PS lens to it and cannot get it off!

Simon

I have just received a tele-converter that I won on ebay last week. It looks to

be in excellent condition - however, I have just attached my 200mm lens to it

and I can't get the bloody thing off! There is a small rectangular thing with a

silver button on it which looks like it should release the lens, but it won't

move (it can be moved a fraction of a mm, but that's all).

How the hell do I detach the lens from the tele-converter???

Cheers

Simon

I've just researched hyperfocal distance focussing and it seems like the thing to use!! Can't wait to get the camera now!

Cheers, Simon

I haven't bought the camera yet - got to sell some stuff first! I'll be using a Nikkor 90mm f8 on it. I'll have to look into hyperfocal focussing - is it difficult?

Cheers, Simon

Hi, I am buying a Fotoman 612 and as I'm not very good at estimating

distances, I am looking for an external rangefinder. I have found these (link

below) on *bay and were wondering if they are any good.

Title says it all really! I want an eye cup for my MZ5N. I have seen

an FN and an FH eye cup on ebay but don't know if either will fit my

camera - can anyone help?

Cheers

Simon

Thanks Steve. That's what I thought, but I just wanted it confirmed!

Cheers, Simon

I have just started doing my own E6 processing - 1st film yesterday

was a success!! Am I right in assuming that I can process different

Fuji films at the same time - providing that they have been shot at

the correct speed? I have some Velvia and Provia that need

processing and it would be great if I could do them all at the same

time!!

Cheers,

Simon

Thanks for your support Roger and Alan! It was my understanding that the terms I used were widely understood and recognised. Anyway, due to my age, I'm not sure that I could be classed as being a member of the computer generation.
