My May Day
My May Day
Here's my May Day, it was quite happy. I went to see what EuroMayDay demo looked like this year, it was much calmer, not many people arrested and there was just one small incident between people and police (actually that happened after the demo had ended and people were just hanging out in the beach).
So, here's my photo:
(just click it and it'll be bigger)
I've got more photos of this May Day on my website (and some on flickr too):

PS. That was taken with Pentax *ist D and Sigma 24/1.8, I'll look later on what my Canonet saw, if there's something worthy of posting, I'll show them later.

Here in the U.S.A., May Day is just the first day of May.
Just another day.
Here's my "Just Another Day"

What a fantastic spread of photos of what happened where we were on Tuesday 1 May 2007.
It varied so much around the world.
Some of us saw celebrations, and some of us saw a regular day.
If we had the resources these photos would a great book or website gallery.

OK, just posted the pictures I took today and yesterday at the Hastings Jack in the Green, a May holiday festival commemorating the start of summer.
Pictures here
More background about the various characters involved in the festival can be found here:

Mainly it's an excuse for lots of drinking and morris dancing.

Cheers. You needed to be here for the full effect. Not only does this festival take place, but 20,000 motocyclists turn up on the same day every year for the annual May Day Run:

The place was rocking and rolling today.

You have got strange looking pumpkins in your garden.
I like the photos as a starting point, and look forward to seeing the next steps as you refine this theme and technique which seems new.
Didn't we all see that day very differently?
What xpro did you use?

I loaded my agfa isolette with a cheap colour print film ... then I asked the lab to develop (without cutting it) as slide film. The result is like having old shots badly preserved. Next time I'll try to load slide film and develop it as print film ... and see what happens
You can see other experiments with this tecnique here but something went wrong anyway ... :bang:

yes Jon we all saw very different May Day. I too did a lot things, it has been a very busy day...
first I took a portrait of Gaia then, we needed to have the water tube repaired. We had luch at a local fair (still have to develop the roll...) and then went for a walk on the lake after a coffee in a bar. Later we got back in Lucca for a political rally (still have to develop the roll...)... Ended the day watchin a movie at a cinema ...

nico: re the xpro.
My stock of expired E6 is down to the last 30 or so rolls now.
I'm deciding between buying a load more old E6 to xpro C41, or whether to buy old C41 and go with faded color.
Unfortunately old C41 xpro to E6, such as you've been doing, is not an option.

Well three days after this thread was last seen and finally I've pulled my finger out. I've put some of my May Day photos into my "At home with the English" album - I'll try and get them into this thread soon but I always seem to end up with attached thumbnails rather than big pics. It's also 3am and I've got work tomorrow!
There's some great images on here, particularly strong as a body of images covering the globe. Hopefully I can join in the next event in a more timely manner!!

That 'At Home With The English' album is a very competent and coherent piece of work.
You have a style that comes through in every photo, the confidence to get up close, and an eye for the detail.
All in all a very nice viewing here on a weekday morning, and an inspiration to do better myself.
