thread about light, instead of gear...

Gorgeous images, ray.

But then, many people who look at the gallery focus on the equipment used, film, developer, etc. That brings us around full-circle to: "so how different is the gallery from this thread?"

It's all about photography.

Geez, I am starting to sound like Gabriel. 😉

Thank you, sir. 🙂

ray, maybe i didn't notice before but i think your shooting has improved by leaps and bounds.
your stuff is now consistently excellent.
i believe you have joined a select group of rff shooters, one i only hope to glimpse myself someday.

I prefer w/nw as I like browsing at photos according to a theme, and seeing how different people interpret the theme.

I think the w/nw threads have a lot of potential. If the w/nw threads had the following conditions:

~You can only post one image
~everyone who posts an image must comment on an image already in the thread
~if possible that image must be one that hasn't been already been commented on
~and everyone commenting must offer two types of comments one positive and one of a constructive nature (which is really two positives)

then the w/nw threads would be more than a thematic image dump, and would be constructive tool--approximating an online critique.

I am a sucker for people coming in the light from a dark area (I have a too many pics like that!). I appreciate my incident meter in those cases!!

Another one for the road...

Rool, darn that's sharp and with some nice colours. What film/lens combination did you use here? (NOT trying to turn it into a gear-thread..just curious..)

without light we're just the blind leading the blind

Lots of great photos here, but I just love these two. The light angling down on the gondolas is so classic, like an old painting.
The little boy with just a little light on his face is great, and the composition, leaving in the whole window, makes it final.
Wish I had done some of these shote! 😎

Liquid light. Sorry if you've already seen this one. 😉

Just want to warn you guys that light GAS is much worse than camera/lens GAS!

I've long since gotten over the "my pictures would be better if I only had one more lens..." phase, but am still mired in the "my pictures would be better if I only had one more flash head/power pack/reflector/light modifier" phase!

Yikes! I went through that in the 1990's. Then I ended up using one pack and one head for almost everything.

Great thread. Here are a couple from the past couple weeks where the quality of the light was the inspiration for the photo.

Ray G...awesome pictures. the venice picture is unbelievable!
seriously good pictures in this thread! I enjoy your tree picture very much tetrisattack, holga or something?

nice thread, light matters infinately more than equipment!

2 from me: the first one is the stairs at my old apartment, the second is my girlfriend 4 days ago (after we moved into our new home)

Holga! No, it was actually a slide I shot with an R2A, projected onto a sheet of rice paper that I coated in liquid light, which was then contact printed on a normal piece of photo paper. 🙂

@Rich: No problem, the first shot in the bus is: Bessa L + CV25mm, the other ones are with my main camera: a Bessa R + CV35, f/2.5
You can't go wrong with this combo, it has the same functions as an M6! I love it.

For the film, it is very certainly Superia 400. Great great stuff for the price, in my opinion.
Lately I've been shooting 400UC though as I had some extra money...

Another one since we don't want to just talk about gear ;-)...

Ray G - fantastic shots.
