Hi all
this site is getting a bit 'gear-heavy' recently - which was something we actively tried to avoid in the early days - the review/ articles thread was great for that side of things, but the site was about the (film-based) photo, not necessarily the camera from which it emerged. It's probably not helped by people only posting their new pictures in the weekend threads. You really dont have to do that - in fact, I think pictures look better in new threads and so on - they can often get swallowed up on the sheer weight of content in the weekend threads ....
So, to attempt some redress - please post your new/old/favourite/ most popular/ worst - WHATEVER still life image here. No gear details, no film type, no anything practically informative - JUST THE PICTURE.
(I know all the arguments about the importance of gear, and 'it's a tool' blah blah blah - but humour me on this one - I'm trying to put the yang back in the yin here)
go on - do it. It would make me happy at least :D
here's mine:

Mmmm you've just put into words what I had been thinking myself over the past few weeks, especially the bit about not waiting until the weekend thread etc. To add support to your new thread Leon here are a couple of mine.

Since I'm at least in part responsible for the gear discussions, I will attempt to atone by contributing here.

Interesting interpretations of 'still life'. And I like O2Pilot's pun - posting an image of gears in a gear free thread.
Here's mine.

I'm in. Great idea Leon, long overdue. :)
-
superb work everyone (O2 - like the gears!!).
Seriously - no one person is to blame - in fact I'm as much to blame as anyone else with all my gear toting over the past year or so.
keep them coming people :) I like the variations on the theme and the difference in styles.
this is what filmwasters is all about :)
here's another couple of oldies from me:

For some reason I like to take photos of chairs.

Great thread!!
I've made various stabs at still life over the years with limited success if I'm honest - I have been thinking about giving it another go recently. Here are three meagre attempts.

gavechase: Your chair pictures (in addition to being fantastic) remind me of a chair picture of my own. It was taken just to finish off a roll and it ended up being my favorite picture from that batch.
(Forgive the watermark. I do that for pictures I post on my blog and this one was already resized small enough to attach here.)

On the theme of tea, here are a couple more. I forget which camera it was, but they were shot on film. (Is that enough technical info?)

thanks everyone for keeping the balance. Superb shots from all. chalky - god I miss rum. Cant drink these days, but I miss a glass of Havana Club 7 yr old. And Appleton Estate. Yum.

Still life is something I've messed with and I quite enjoy but I've never been happy with the results.

Nigel, the first one is a beauty.
What a wonderful thread.

A stunning thread. I've never really had a go at still life before but, as flowers seem to be the order of the day, here's some from our recent trip to Amsterdam. Fuji Superia 400 / Nikon F3HP

Thank you Ed... I recommend reading the one on the top of the pile ;)

still life, huh? I've got ideas kicking around the head and I'd like to take things closer to what I shoot. I'll take this as a kick in the buttocks to get into it! ;)
good of you lean, starting this thread. and for all the right reasons!
ed, many personal favourites from you there! the lightbulb stands out to me as extra inspiring~
now, from me... two old shots from a continuing series.

Lets just relish the beauty of the images, not the stuff used to take them.

Leon, shame you can't enjoy it anymore. I'm just sipping an angostura 1919. Hopefully you'll be able to have one at some point soon. I'll buy you one if you are ever in Cornwall.
-
What a great thread.
These images were part my attempt to do a second consecutive 365 .I have let it go now.They were also to see if a flash that my dad gave me in 1981 still worked.
Mauricio,I have been trying to read the Simon Reynolds book for a couple of years now.I have given my previous 2 copies as presents.3rd time lucky!

Some Great Images from all.
Three from my archives.

flowers from me

I like the way almost every thread can leap off at a tangent. I saw the rum photo and thought, "Mmmmm. Posh rum!".
Nice.
Matt, we're coming back to Cornwall in the summer for a week.....maybe we should meet on a beach somewhere and share a bottle of your finest rum? Don't worry though, I'll contribute too. I'll bring the glasses and irritating children 8) ;) ;D
-
More pretty flowers from me.
Charles: these are really quite beautiful.....fantastic even. Composition, light, colours; all spot on. I want to hug them all.
-
Ed - sounds awesome! :)
by that point I should have a screaming roughly 3 week old to add to the day!
but yes shout when you are down here and will say hello and drink some rum if possible...
-
Some great photography in this thread. I'm particularly struck by some of the shots of singular objects.
