Hey, I've never started this thread before so if you'll humour me I'll post 4 pics. Some friends were staying and the kids started dressing up and the face paints came out...

Hey Karl, I think there's already a weekend thread underway for the 6th-7th Feb. Sean started it on the 4th - he's like that (works weekends so gets in early). However, it started kicking off on the other thread so it's probably a good job you started a new one

I like these shots a lot. Kids and make-up = photo op. What camera did you use and how co=operative were your models?

Love these, especially the first one...thought I'd share one from a few years back...
we were too busy watching the Superbowl to take photos this weekend!

They were pretty co-operative. There's something about the make up that makes boys keener to pose. It happened to me one night at a fancy dress night when I went as a 70's rock star but that's another story

Camera was either Rolleiflex T or Mamiya C220. It's quite a good leveller to realise you can't remember which camera it was, but I've been thinking that it was probably the C220 but I will never know for sure. Natural light from the front window.

Other info: Neopan 400 developed in Paterson Aculux 3 and scanned in PS with a neutral quadtone applied. I plan to print them up properly in the darkroom soon.

Aline, I love this shot - the 'model', the make-up, the pose are all perfect....the backdrop is a little distracting unfortunately, but I probably shouldn't level any sort of criticism at what I'm guessing is a (wonderful) family memory.

Interesting...i actually liked the structural tension between creases on sheet backdrop and lines on face in aline's shot. And yes the first of the painted-face portraits, Karl, what a knock-out.

Diane, that's a moody, evocative landscape---i think it needs a novel to go with it...!

Oh man, that's a gorgeous shot Vicky, I need to talk to you about how you get that crisp colour.

Janet_P · « **Reply #10 on:** February 09, 2010, 10:52:50 PM »

The first shot from my new old pack of Ilford HP3 glass plates.
This image is called Forgetting.

thanks, janet, and getting a green bias scanner helps

also:
forgotten is the perfect title, your picture is just how my brain feels sometimes.

Nice image Janet - a bit hard to see though on my laptop (too wide, and have to scroll). Love the direction the medium is going in for you.

snewbery · « **Reply #13 on:** February 10, 2010, 06:57:37 PM »

The leeks---yes, a beautiful study.

vicky slater · « **Reply #14 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:22:31 PM »

Thanks sheila!

gregor · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2010, 01:35:18 AM »

Here' my 2 cents. The awesome low-end polaroid 420 & fuji fp-3000b. $3 dollar camera, 12 dollar battery....

That first one Karl is an absolute classic. I just shot some family snaps...

Nice price! Only a few made, but...

Love that GR1 flash! Both Kodak 400NC. See ya! Skj.

Hmmm, what does that translate into USD? I've been hunting for a 185 without success (alway get outbid on auction sites).... Loved my Mamiya Press Black but the form factor of the Polaroid 180, 185 & 195 suits me better.....

snewbery · « **Reply #18 on:** February 11, 2010, 05:39:31 AM »

What a great snow shot...

Here's a view of San Francisco Bay from the East Bay hills---which are very green and squelchy from all the rain... (Portra 160 NC).

I like this one... Alarming, eerie and slyly funny, all at once. Are there more?

About USD2600!

Snewbery, hi, nop, there are no more. This is something I made for a friends contest I am participating in. This mont?s theme is about silence so I shot this one trying to recreate silence; but the result is more about tension or fear... not easy to shoot about silence. Usually what you have in mind demands too much interpretation from the viewer so at the end does not work...

Diane - I love your shot, it's a real beauty.

Snewbury - SF looks great from there. beautiful sky.
