I like the complete series of what looks like a fun event ! #8 is just great.

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

thanks =)

very good - and very close

yes, I often find myself working very close to the subject lately.

I was very lucky with this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonsawsunlight/5828578378/ just flicked the lens to 0.7m quickly and took this while walking past him (I was framing through the viewfinder, but no time to check focus or anything). I didn't think it would come out properly at all.

The first one is exceptional! You sure like hands don't you!

Nice shots, Simon.

May I ask what film you used?

[SimonSawSunlight]

Nice shots, Simon.

May I ask what film you used?

tri-x 400 in ilford ilfotec lc29 1+19 (5:20min not 6:30 because the temperature was ~2°C too high).
all of them are taken with an M2 and 35mm f1.2 nokton.

The first shot is wonderful...it really shows just what they went through...

Thank you for the technical details. I like the tonality you get out of Tri-X.

Cheers!

Good stuff, simon.
The closeness with the 35 gives some of the images the last punch.
Gives me to thinking ...
