Photograph and Camera talk

[pechelman]

Yeah!
I might continue playing with it a bit, maybe cropping the lower edge, crushing the black shadow a bit like koudelka, or even rotating it slightly. But it's great as is; Really dig this capture.

Hope you like it! Taken with the Leica Q2

@weftyarn Just great,so much to like about this one. I recently saw a quote about photography and it had to do with seeing things that other people can’t. When I,initially,read it I thought about your photography.

[pechelman]

Great use of color on this one @weftyarn
I also like the abstraction from the head in the foreground matching the other circular forms on the tram.

[weftyarn]

@Jett129 That’s a great compliment, thank you. I certainly start to see a little differently though. It’s going from „reacting to situations“ to „seeing situations evolve“ and having the shutter already half pressed before the shot happens.

@pechelman Thanks mate. The color makes the shot on this one I think. I was quite unhappy about the guy walking into my picture at first because there was just no way to recreate it. But everyone I’ve shown the shot actually thinks it looks better because of the head in the foreground and I’m starting to feel the same way.

Another one from Lisbon. I love this city!

[goosehd]

@weftyarn I'll be there in a couple of months. Anything must do or see?

[weftyarn]

@goosehd awesome! when exactly are you going?

Visiting „Praia da Ursa“ is something I would definitely recommend. It’s one of the most beautiful beaches i’ve ever been to. And while it is not a complete hidden gem anymore you can really enjoy some privacy there and escape the tourism. Even when water temps are too low to swim, go there for the views.
Also, go grab some Pasteis de Nata at Mantegaria (multiple locations throughout Lisbon), they’re the best hands down.
To not flood the thread feel free to shoot me a PM for more

Back to topic, here’s some B&W from Lisbon

A visit to RIAT.

@weftyarn Don't want yo to get a swelled head but, as usual, they're all really great. The ticket widow picture absolutely floored me. Seeing the hands on top was one of those,looking at photography,holy shit moments. To circle back,if your head gets a little swelled,it would certainly be understandable. After I posted this I went back and looked at it again and realized that the hands are from another picture. Decided not to edit that part out of my original post. Still a great shot.

@weftyarn absolutely love this photo man

[weftyarn]

@Jett129 oh man now i see what you mean. that would have been to good to be true haha

@Bailey which of the 5 do you mean?

[Jett129]

@weftyarn Is there a way to make it look like it's one image,but it has to be seamless. I'm not telling anyone.

[Bailey]

@weftyarn ah the colour one, the one I directly replied to spot on man!

[Marc2706]

Sometimes I really like taking photos with a vintage film camera. My Leica M3 is from 1959 and is still working perfect. Film was Fuji Acros 100II

I was lucky enough to hit the Fragile Beauty exhibition this afternoon when there was hardly anyone there and total freedom to move around without dodging other people (this never happens to me). Highly recommended for anyone in/near/passing through London – I’ll almost certainly go back before it closes. I hesitate to include my snap below in this thread or in the context of the exhibition, but it gives an impression of the final space.

@Marc2706 that's a cracking good shot. What lens was this if you don't mind me asking?

[Marc2706]

@pechelman thanks a lot Pechelman! It was the 1.4/50 (I), as far as I can remember from 1959

[pechelman]

@Marc2706 thanks!

Really beautiful rendering lens.
