Anyone interested in seeing some shots I took of my eggs as they are being hard boiled? Actually came out kinda cool. Good way to spend the downtime of food being made. :)


oh- I am in on the disposable. BUT- i think we need to define the camera better. I have used expensive and inexpensive disposable cameras, there is a large difference between the two.

Well, what type of camera should we use then? And sure, show the eggs, why not? :)

i could go with that. what about the b&w one though? kodaks normally are good also.

little post processing on the pict. for some reason i like it. maybe it is because the water looks like a gel almost.

you all want to do a theme? or just whatever we feel like?

my vote for theme: teXture

We could have like 5 themes and then you use all of your 24 shots to their effectiveness....one of the five themes could be 'whatever you feel like'...:)

I say we keep it as simple as possible.
35mm Disposable B&W or colour (we might seperate them tho)...

I missed the reply email :( Oh well, I'll get whatever we decide tomorrow...I'll probably end up working on Sunday anyway so I'll have a chance to get it then...I say we go with something kodak or fuji....fuji makes great films and kodak is usually ok....they're both fairly good....

I'd probably prefer fuji, but this doesn't really matter all that much, so whatever....

I don't mind the Kodak Funsaver 35, but whatever....you guys decide :) I need some sleep, it's 4:14 AM here...but hey, I've only been up since 5:23 PM :(

Disposables? They're too good. :D

I'd like to see how you all do with one of these:

http://members.aol.com/Chuck02178/27.htm

I started photography on a camera like the one on the left. It uses 620 black and white roll film and produces 2.25 inch prints--I think the negative is 2 inches. I suppose it's not too bad if you've dealt with a medium format camera but the viewfinder gives you the image at the top of the camera and the image is upside down.

Needless to say, I don't use it anymore.

The fire is strangely beautiful thought it made me think briefly of repenting. :D

This was an attempt to simulate levitation. It wound up looking like a messy plant.

i want to touch this one. the picture is cool, as in cold. ;)


i love texture. i find that when i go into stores, i touch most things i am attracted to. almost a priority over sight in some instances...

erm, hi :) first post here after lurking around for a few weeks
hope I got the attachment working and everything

this pic was taken with a 35mm slr, with 400 iso film, bumped up to 3200 (camera won't actually go that high, had to work out sutter speeds myself) then the negitive was contact printed and scanned (the scratches and dust are from the scanner glass) then messed about with in photoshop to up the contrast and emphasize the scratches, and then tinted blue, just 'cause it looks cooler that way

Welcome, MatMistake!

That is a neat picture--there are dynamic things going on in it, made dramatic by the techniques you used. That could be used for a thematic appreciation test by a shrink. "And what do you think of this picture?"

very nice. i like the technique.

i loved to dirty my images when i was in B&W class. i was terrible at developing (klutz) so i made a style of it. :D

i'll have to post my current pics in the morning; remote ftp is still down for some reason... i can't wait for wireless to move in here at home (1.5 mbps up and down for $40/month).


peace.

Oh and MatMistake, very cool technique!
