Re: 'show us your camera or improvised/converted camera'

this thread, imo, needs not only to move again but to be kept alive........................................... I MUST post some photos of what I'm currently using (or intending to use in 013), none of them are flash, at all, just some decent + users, which I have a soft non-cuddly relationship with:...

Re: RIP

Good input and discussion. I feel a need to put a bit of a counter viewpoint as I am a Joe/Ebony/Velvia baby boomer :shock: Different hilltop but no less rewarding or enjoyable IMVHO. Joe currently uses a Linhof Techno and relies on movements for his trademark front to back sharpness even with the ...

Re: RIP

This is an interesting thread and I notice that threads that discuss the forum seem to get the most activity, and the ones bearing bad news, i.e. the death of velvia :( oh, and of course the rather bizarre threads arguing about name colours :roll: Personally I prefer forums which discuss images,tec...

...are Pete and VM one and the same, perhaps?... I suspect so, but cannot say with certainty. Perhaps you should ask him/them directly. right.....ok probably best that this one closes down it's been a bad week or so for the human race, i.e. twenty infant deaths last week + some adults, so.............

Re: RIP

Possibly well up the wrong tree, but could the appalling weather have something to do with the lack of enthusiasm? I know that I have done less photography this year than I would normally do, largely because of the very strong winds, cold, & incessant rain. Which it is doing as write! Dennis. Denni...

Re: RIP

Thanks for posting the link to the thread. It is exactly the tone of that discussion and the way it was conducted that caused such negative impact here. If the result of a regenerated forum was to return to that type of discussion then I for one am 'out' as a well known BBC programme would say. Mer...

...I'm not sure, at all that this Forum is in decline, 'Vanman' kicked off this thread, whether tongue in cheek or not... Definitely not tongue in cheek.

Re: RIP

Hi Guys, I started to post a reply just now, and then thought I'd have a look at Joe Cornish's web site. I lead a fairly solitary photographic life, and must admit I'd never heard of him until he was mentioned on this thread. Now, although his style is not one I'd want to emulate, I can now see whe...

Re: RIP

Vanman, thanks for again adding to this discussion If Joe Cornish couldn't see the massive advantage of using LF gear with all the movements available (front tilt, rear tilt, rear rise, front rise, front swing / rear swing, back & rear shift, and the advantages that I havn't thought of) to the photo...
