Well Misc has the instruction manual for one of them - maybe it will say in there what size film it takes and maybe I can look from there. Just think how cool a Cine shot of a meat will look converted to MPEG for all the people on here to see.

It's 8mm I think (hopefully not like the movie of the same name). Sadly none of these cameras had secret undeveloped films in them. I was half expecting to find some vintage pron on cine...

Two things.
Misc. for anything you may need for your Electro 35 or others please go to Station Cameras in Reading (the one near the station not near Burger King) it is accross the road from the station. Ask for Alan and tell him Marcus sent you. If it's camera related and gettable Alan can get it for you. I should know I spent 6 years working there....
Also this is without a doubt the 'winner' so far....(as far as I am concerned anyhoot)

Aw, thanks Marcus. Isn't she the cutest lil thing you ever saw? She's sweet, polite and adorable. I was lucky to meet her. And her mum. Posts: 2918

I have a number of interesting photos, from psychedelic images of Dresden through to artistic captures of the cat(s). And lots from Eastern Europe, including some Bergmannesque stuff taken in Vilnius. I will have to scan them.
Misc - I noticed the Yashica Electro 35 - I have one of them, given to me by my dad.

I have a couple of pictures I'd love to post, but my home connection, well, doesn't exist at the moment. I tried to fix something that wasn't broke, and now it well and truly is.
If this thread is still going when I finish reformat/reinstall I shall post them.

Cheers Teffers! I presume it was Alan I spoke to. He really knew his stuff and was very helpful. I bought a few 120 size films so I should be able to get some photos at some point...

I meant it as a kind of compliment, ie. "those look too professional", It's like Rolf Harris putting his picture into Tony Hart's gallery! Sort of.

Alas its not the BBC website they are from and I would not go that low, this is a credible site after all. I think they look pro too! Thats why I posted them here. If you are interested to see more of the collection. http://www.collarge.com/ROG/gal/index.html

Christ. There are some really gifted photographers in here, aren't there?
I'm certainly not posting any of mine: I have shite equipment, zero technical knowledge and none of whatever it takes to realise art while squinting through a little glass square with lines round it!
Loved 'em all, but there's one thing I have to ask .. Sabian. In your Notting Hill pics, HOW did you get such incredible depth of field??? (Serious question; I've never known how to make the camera "see" a crowded perspective the way we do... or, at least, I see it when I've got me lenses in!)
Um, this might be a stupid idea. The idea is that, maybe, some of you would donate the copyright on some of your pictures for TMO to make cards out of them?
Admittedly, it's only even a half-good idea if somebody has ready printing & distribution contacts. Just thought I'd mention it, in case anybody has .... there are a lot of truly cracking photos on this thread.

Sabian - Totally love the editing, the contrast of bird on fire is great. I took this picture in the bay outside Salvador Dalis old house in Spain. Perhaps theres some hidden meaning with finishing touches like this.

Believe me AG, equipment does not always maketh the picture - the Lomo for example Mart uses is a very cheap little camera which is loved by photographers throughout the world, and some of the best photos I took have been with my old Praktica, which cost me about 60 quid (and that was for an SLR with two lenses new)

I think Sab uses a Fuji Digital, and Digital compacts do have some amazing DOF - this is not a particluarly good example, but it was just a point and shoot and very rapid shutter speed using my old Sony digital - the DOF I was really impressed with on this one too:
Plus you say you have no skills, but you know all about Depth of field - yes it might be rudimentary but you would be surprised at the amount of people who own and use cameras, and do not know or understand this concept. So go on post something up - don't be perturbed - I was at first but did anyway, and people liked them - I am sure we will like yours too.

Could be an idea - what does everyone think?

Also people, me and Colenski are planning on going out next week for a shoot (we are old mates) but Holland is not exactly known for its beautiful landscapes (unless the Tulips are in bloom) and certainly not its rolling hills. So maybe for an idea we throw it open to you:
Throw in some ideas of a subject we could go and shoot to maybe display up here next week
Remember ladies of the night do not allow their photo to be taken, so somthing a bit more original please - also outside of Amsterdam as there are only so many picture postcard piccies I can take....

Rotterdam is very concrete - but maybe one day I will go there with the camera. As for the Buddha, if I am out with the camera and I see the place, sure I'll get a shot

Waynester, how about you and Colenski only take pics of things that are red. Or things that have writing on them. Or things from the wrong angle.
Do we get to mark your little project?
