These aren't the greatest, but I liked a couple of my circle picture contest alternates and I had a lot of fun looking for circles so I thought I'd put them up

I've been building a softbox over the past few days, finished it today, and tried it out this evening. I basically love it

I might start a thread on how I made it, sometime. Maybe.

Perchance, is that 779 Share The Love film?

Love all the shots.

PontiusPirate · 08-17-2009, 07:09 PM

Indeed it is!

I'm trying not to go through it like candy....but it's hard!

...and I'm about to hit my scanner with a baseball bat.

I say go through it like candy. Live it up. Don't be one of those people who is afraid to take a pic because they don't want to waste a Polaroid. There's no such thing as a wasted Polaroid

Besides, The Impossible Project will be making film before you know it. So it's not like before, when we all thought, "This might be the last shot of Polaroid I'll ever take." So I say live it up. Enjoy the film you have.

I'm intrigued about this developing in water idea. Did you just submerse it under water? Run it under water? Cold? Hot?

Agreed. I will stop being scared.

I just tossed it in the sink under cold water for a few seconds. I took it out before it was completely developed, but the water seemed to make the process quicker... I'm pretty sure it caused that blur and blackness at the bottom (though that is the saving grace of the photo). It was an accidental shot, and there was that gnarly brown spot in the corner, so I though "what the hell".

They were all accidental. I was trying to figure out a way to hold down the button without my fingers so I could do some self portraits...those are what came out as I was trying to remove rubber bands & clips & such (all of which didn't work).

More fun with the softbox:

PontiusPirate · 08-18-2009, 01:04 AM

Shot #1 = NICE!

PontiusPirate · 08-23-2009, 02:52 PM

Hooray for a terribly lit venue.

Good thing terrible lighting is no match for B&W conversion.

ApparentlyNothing · 08-23-2009, 06:36 PM

D300 plus a fast prime, low light is absolutely no match. Pump up that ISO and shoot at 1.8!

**Rainer.** · 08-23-2009, 07:22 PM

1.8 is way too soft for me likey...

Went to the beach this weekend. Did the only reasonable thing to do, make some driftwood art.

If you do it right, it's not so bad. The first 3 photos on my portraits section (Jon Duenas Photography - Gallery - Portraits) were all taken at 1.8 with a 50mm lens and 1600 ISO.

Sometimes you gotta choose between small depth of field or motion blur all over the place.
