John, even the odious Rupert Murdoch put a stop to Page 3 girls which leaves you in a league of your own.

i think “western_isles” is just rehashing old gripes.

I’ve always loved Martin’s posts on fixed lens film cameras. His photos of the Contax T family of 38/35mm cameras made my subscription to PN worthwhile & rewarding. Please, be gentle.

Julie has been doing her [line break added] stuff every day for a while now. I’m sure she’d appreciate some company. Unreal Nature

every time the POTW is late Michael has a fit. my point in creating this thread is to allow Michael et al to talk shite aboot a photo. hope this helps.

that’s ghastly

anyhoo, the purpose of this thread was to create a “user generated” POTW to replace the “pn generated” POTW that goes AWOL quite regularly to the annoyance of some of the members. never mind. at least the mods haven’t deleted it.

Barry, that looks delicious.

nope. as much as i appreciate belgian chips with mayonnaise, these chinese chips (kunming, actually) are the best i’ve ever had. shallow fried in oil then tossed in a oil, chilli & herb mix. all for 5 RMB

Michael, just for you The Brand Spanking new POTW foto 4

the girl’s bum? not seen one in a long time, eh, Dave?

i can’t be bothered. I’ve titled this Chinese Chips because that is what they R. Comments & criticism welcomes

Michael, we looked at this b4. Q. Why don’t you create a POTW of your own? A. Because one of our beloved mods will delete it. Therefore, if u want 2 DISCUSS A PHOTO EVERY WEEK, take the absence of a USER SUGGESTED POTW up with the godly, saintly mods who CRUSH such ACTIVITY, just because.

Mem'ries, Light the corners of my mind corners, geddit?

imo, street photography is, really, environmental photography. you are photography humans, dogs, cats, pigeons, etc in their environment in the same way wildlife photography captures animals in their environment. for example, a bloke jumping over a puddle is the same as a polar bear jumping over an ice hole; a couple kissing in paris is the same as a couple of pigeons getting smootchy; a girl on fire vs a elephant with its tusks severed both genres are equally capable of being emotive, evocative, sad, funny, etc. and, the best photographers don’t just look to capture humans or animals in their environment. they make it special. simple, really.

i luv it.

Thanks Andrew, Briefly, as I know it’s early, is the relationship between input and output linear nonlinear (hard) nonlinear (easy via taylor series expansion)

it seems to me the relationship between the input and output of a lens is simple, i.e. the amount of light exiting a lens at a given aperture is the same no matter what the focal length. is that correct?

platform shoes or, if you can handle them, stilts.

Fred, that is typical of you. Melodramatic to the core

are you capable of contributing to this discussion?

no, not at all. just a few thoughts.

i don’t think so. my current avatar (i hate that word*) , in the forums, is of a clueless moron whereas my avatar in my portfolio is an abstract photo of naked dancing girls. I changed the latter a few months ago. *and the fillum

if you shine two or more lights, coloured or otherwise, on a subject, and know how it responds to light, the maths is known.

barry, welcome. no need to apologize. i’ve been thinking about this and i’ve tried to put my thoughts in order. i think increasing the number of inputs (light sources, coloured lights, strobes, flashes, etc) doesn’t make lighting complex, it just changes things in an obviously simple, well understood way.
