I think this:

is the perfect example of "A picture is worth a 1000 words." :)

This sounds really interesting Adjust the focus after you take the picture . . . =)

Seriously, WOW.

I'll believe it when I see it. Periodically new ideas come up, but they rarely pan out. Foveon was a really interesting idea as well, but it's never really come into its own.

Admittedly, I'm a bit out of practice, but considering how little time I had to take the shot it went well. It's always tough working over your head with horizontal light. But the results are often worthwhile. That's more or less straight out of the camera, without any adjustment.

Nice. That gives me some ideas for some cool triptychs. Wait and see...

It will never be as good as getting it right the first time, but if it can fix marginally botched shots, or shoot in much lower light, then I'm all for it.

I don't really like having to lug around my massive 70-200mm f2.8 just because there isn't a massive amount of light, and having to carry the tripod with gymbal is even more so. It's a good thing that photographers don't typically do much walking between shots.

I be waiting . . . =)
I agree, get it right in the camera but still . . . lots of potential if it works.

Lugging around equipment brings back memories of my 4 x 5 days, lots of weight, lots of time with maybe 10 to 15 shots in a single outing but . . . nothing looks like 4 x 5 . . . =)

Not to mention all the next day in the darkroom

The easiest way to know if you're dating a photographer is to check for nose prints on the photo. If you don't see any, then you can be pretty sure that your not dating a photographer.

There's definitely a degree of OCPD involved with being good, which is probably why one tends not to forget how to take photos even after being on break. Although, that doesn't apply to all specialties

Yeah, photography is a personal thing if you really get into it. We had a small group that made day / night trips with 4 x 5's. It was great fun and amazing how much we learned about our equipment and technique.

We often would go straight to the dark room, each with their own preferences in developer / paper / toner. We worked mostly in B&W but did some Ektachrome / Cibrachrom prints occasionally. Very rewarding hobby as you have great shots that last for years and years. Hehe, we bought B&W 35 mm in 100 foot rolls . . . we had the bug bad . . . =)

You know you have it bad when your heroes are Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter . . .

Here is a link to Elliot McDowell's website. He has some interesting techniques and a broad range of interests. His composites are some of my favorites. . . =)

Interesting work indeed (I love the B&W with faces on the tree trunks). Thx for sharing, even if I'm not a huge fan of photo manipulation. :)

Nothing really fancy, but this is all I have for today :

Great shot !! I bet that old machine could tell some stories . . .

Would having all the keys within the depth of field change the overall look / feel of the image? Looks great, it's such an interesting subject I found myself wanting to see more of it and from different views . . . =)

Edit: I wanna look inside to see how those keys work . . .

Thx ! This cash register was in an amazing museum that I visited today, in a small town, right in the middle of nowhere.

Maybe that would have been a little bit more confusing for the eye... I don't know, I should have tried it.


You steampunk addict !
