I've been under a lot of pressure since this is my final year of undergraduate studies and the work has been piling up.
I unwind by hitting the streets with my M6 and Ikon. (Perhaps i've been unwinding a tad too much, which explains why my essays are still largely in a conceptual rut!)
Here are some of the shots over the course of a few weeks.
Color film - Ektachrome
B&W - Tri-X in HC-110 dil.B
Thanks for looking!

Great stuff. The shot of the dog makes me smile.
Shot number 6 looks like something out of Close Encounters, and shot number 7 is simply outstanding. Excellent work.

Thanks Rick! Number 7 is one of my personal faves so far.

Nice work! I like No. 5 too -- seems to capture a mood of despair.

I don't like 1/2, 3/8 are strangely appealing, 4/5/6 are _great, I probably told you before I like 5 a lot. I like 7, too, but don't find it to be the best of the bunch.
Oddly few responses I think, considering the quality.

Martin, thanks for the honesty. I think the color slides have some sort of an odd quality about them, i can't quite put a finger on what it is.
An air of surreality perhaps?

1, 2 and 6 all need more exposure.
4 (the xpro one) is eye-catching.

For the underexposed pictures i think i had to shoot at a certain shutter speed ( i was using tri-x at 800 with the lens wide open at 1.4). Most of them were around 1/30 and i think one was at 1/15. The lighting was rather poor which could perhaps why it appears under.
Maybe i should attempt to use higher ISO film in the future for better exposure in such lighting.

Yes, photography is an art, and it is also a science.
We need to understand both sides.
ISO800 f1.4 1/15 is pretty much the limit.
Well done for getting anything usable.
I'd stick with that film and exposure, but try to avoid backlighting if possible.

An afterthought:
After I saw these photos I walked to the covered market.
And passed by some dog **** on the sidewalk.
I thought of your dog photo, the xpro one.
It reminded me of an Elliot Erwitt photo. Not a copy, but a resonance.
And then I got back and saw your Elliot Erwitt quote in your signature.

This made me chuckle alittle.
Thank goodness you managed to avoid the doggy mess.

The above two are great, thanks for posting these.
