I'm back, so much printing, and then so much framing I've not made many images since June, this is from Wednesday

That's a fine looking tractor Dave. I do like the alignment of the exhaust, very pleasing!

Sandeha I like the third one particularly, it's the sort of image I wish I was brave enough to take.

Kevin and Jeff, as a Geologist I'm always a sucker for rock formations, great job. 

I had my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye loaded for toy camera day but wasn't able to participate.  I finally finished the roll over the weekend.  These were shot on Kodak TMax 100 and Semi-Stand developed in Rodinal 1-100 for 1 hour.

Love Dave's tractor and Peter's pinhole of the coast. Nice stuff all around.

Mine is another from the same city excursion that produced last week's color shot. This one is with my Canon L1, Serenar 50/1.9, HP5+ in Caffenol C-H(RS).

Very nice!
I like Sandeha's first and Dave's tactor a lot! O2 Pilot's night shot has a great atmosphere.

Mine is from the country side; Kodak Portra 800, RZ67

I haven't gotten any of my november rolls developed yet, so heres something from the end of October. Shot on a Ricoh KR-5 55mm f/2.2 w/ Ilford XP2 400. I apologize for the poor quality scan, my local lab does a horrible job.

Dave, that is a very nice image of a tractor and 02pilot's street scene, which feels like it's from the 20's or 30's, nicely done.
My image is from some years back in Mission Creek Regional Park, Kelowna, British Columbia with a Zone VI 4x5 and a 210mm Schneider Repro-Claron and Tri-X.

These are the most recent I've taken. The first from a Holga, the second with a Mamiya C220 and Lomo Film (the majority of which was crap due to the numbers and symbols from the backing paper appearing on the negative). Most importantly for me I managed to develop them myself and really enjoyed it. The last one is from a Leica Z2x and is from the first roll of colour film I have ever developed :)

Another vote here for Dave's tractor.
I'm also liking the look of Mab's rail truck, but my favourite at this point is Sandeha's beautiful abstract nude.

My effort this week is from a recent trip to London's Imperial War Museum.

I love my yashica mat 124g... sigh... but it's in need of repair again. Every 3 or so years it seems. I used it way too much over the past 10 years, it was my go to camera. The meter broke a while back with dents, the crank misc parts of body has brass coloured patina, parts of the face is dented, advance is no longer as smooth because gearing is worn, the counter window is missing. I think I will let it stay broken this time. :'(

Hi Peter.
Yes, it reopened earlier this year after an extensive (and expensive) refurb. All the exhibits are arranged in galleries around a vast central atrium (as shown in my posted pic). All very... erm... "modern". Not sure if I'm a fan..! It's nothing like I remembered from when my old dad used to drag me around there "when I were a lad".
The Lord Ashcroft Gallery is good, showing one of the worlds largest collections of Victoria Crosses and George Crosses, and telling the stories of those to whom they were awarded, (best movie ever - Zulu - showing on a loop in one corner), but no photography allowed in this area...

There was an exhibition of work by British photographer Mark Neville in one of the smaller galleries when we went, which is apropo to this forum. Taken on large plate cameras with multiple flash set-ups whilst on patrol with troops in Helmand. A totally different view to that we usually see from conflict zones.

Was in London earlier this year and it was closed then  :( I loved the old museum, great for the history as well as the photo opps. Really need to check it out next time I'm in London.

Emboldened by a conversation I had with O2Pilot and limr recently, I shot a quick snap of a candy stand in the Times Sq subway stop, from maybe 20 feet away. The owner (who I am only guessing is Bangladeshi, certainly South Asian at any rate) started yelling at me not to take any pictures. So I walked right up to the stand and calmly explained to him that yes, I can indeed take a picture in this public place* and that oh! look! I just did. He was threatening to call the cops, which I found amusing because not only am I pretty sure I was in the right*, but he was probably operating on slightly-shady immigration/work status (again, a bold assumption, although if he was working in a stand in the subway, his papers were most likely in order).

Anyway, it made for an awesome shot :)


The Angry Bangladeshi by Indofunk Satish, on Flickr

Shot on James Harr's Fuji 500T cine film, processed Unicolor C41 "partial bleach bypass" (1 min blix followed by 5 min Rapidfix), remjet scrubbed off at the end.


*On further reflection, I think the subway might be a grey zone. It *is* a public place, as the MTA is a government organization, but they have all sorts of "rules" for photography in the subway, like no tripods. There may be one about not photographing a candy stand (which may be privately owned) while standing on MTA property. But who knows. I should probably find out at some point, as a lot of my photography takes place in the subway (because most of my LIFE seems to take place in the subway :P )

My Lomo' Instant Camera arrived last night and after wasting most  of a pack of film this was the best shot I came up with. Hopefully better results will follow. Seems to be a fun camera. I got the lens attachments with the kit and hope that they prove fun to play with.

A cool shot indeed. As far as the whole public/private thing, I'm sure there are countless rules in NYC about specific locations, but barring studying them all (Which seems a bit excessive - I mean, study? Really? At least that seems to be my students' attitude, and they're doing just fi...no, wait, this is a bad example.) my guiding principle is "reasonable expectation of privacy." You're in the subway, in any capacity, you have zero expectation of privacy in my book, which means I'll take whatever photos I like.

Also, Indofunk, I am totally not responsible if somebody takes a swing at you while photographing them. No doubt.

At least that seems to be my students' attitude, and they're doing just fi...no, wait, this is a bad example.) my guiding principle is "reasonable expectation of privacy." You're in the subway, in any capacity, you have zero expectation of privacy in my book, which means I'll take whatever photos I like.

Also, Indofunk, I am totally not responsible if somebody takes a swing at you while photographing them. No doubt.
I know in the Montreal Metro taking photos is entirely illegal even though there are no indications anywhere that say so. I also know that to fine you, the security agents have to find you. So it's a semi-open game.

Thanks for the warning Francois.  In future (maybe) I'll be a little more circumspect in the Metro.  In truth, the only time my street shooting in Montreal involved any interaction, it led to an hour-long conversation about Vivian Maier with a lovely young woman.

And let me weigh in on my personal favorite this week: Sandeha's first one of the airborne lady.  Brilliant portrait!

Being circumspect in the metro can have good and bad sides.
The good side is that you can avoid being seen. The bad side is that it came make you look like you're trying to hide something... this can probably get you into more trouble than anything.

I guess the best thing is to act like a tourist, pretend you don't know a single thing but keep an eye out for the security guards in dark blue outfits and stay on the move. So far, I've only heard of a few people who were fined.

I just searched the transit corp's website and I just found this which is probably related to why people were fined

It turns out you're allowed to take photos but need a permit to do so...

Francois--thanks for doing the research.  I guess the "no photos" rule should be filed away with the Dorval airport departure tax.  It's all about the money!

On the positive side, I had a look at the "offences and fines" page and was pleased to see that the listing of most common offences did not include photography.

And finally, let me say that I am still enjoying Satish's irate subway vendor.  It could serve as a warning against the consumption of candy and sugary drinks.
