Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.
Having spent years in Paris, I walk neighborhoods away from the tourist sites looking for shots that are more about this group. These are from this past January.
These are the three images I entered in The Photo Review's 2026 International Photography Competition. I have been entering for the last several years.
In keeping with the Monthly C̶h̶a̶l̶l̶e̶n̶g̶e I wonder if Theme might generate more interest?
The first is a in-city view of the very long 25 de Abril suspension bridge that crosses the bay.
You know for awhile I have noticed that you can look at photos on fstoppers, but when there are interesting photos I like to click on them and look at them...the problem I have, is I always get a b
I was going to do a stack of this antique doorknob over a hand held light. But I liked this individual frame because the outer facets were visible but softer
It was mid September late in the afternoon, a group of sailboats were out on the water enjoying the weather, there was a soft breeze blowing, pushing on the sails.
I was just turning over a photo to get a proper look at the floor mosaic and I just thought the resulting photo was pretty cool. (Galleria Umberto I, Naples, Italy)
Some of you may remember my photos using the Minolta SR-T201 using Panatomic-X a couple years ago.
Last Thursday, Susan and I attended a reception for the "All That Jazz" art exhibit outside City Commissioner Rue Landau's office in Philadelphia City Hall.
A sailboat sitting in the water, early foggy morning. The day had not started yet, and it was still blue hour.
We just got back from a week at the beach and as a passenger I like to entertain myself by shooting panoramas.
..in southern Portugal.
The clouds are an extreme blow up. I loved that part of the image and the digital effects of that blowup make it look pretty cool.
With Spring finally hitting Vermont I think that this month's challenge should revolve around the things that are new in our lives.
I have typically held off on developing fundamental guides to ICM on my website.
It's taken a while to get to these. I hope that posting more will get this place back on line.
It seems that now after the latest FStoppers update, the group is getting swamped with spam? It's really getting annoying now!
I case of interest, I have added a new blog entry on my site reflecting on how current trends mirror much earlier shifts in photography techniques.
Hello everyone I saw this yesterday and found it very interesting, food for thought, and thought maybe members here might enjoy a little brain tickling too!!
Or does it matter.
My wife was telling me about the "new" photographic editing style - Painterly a couple months ago. You might remember a couple AI conversions I did last month.
I am traveling at the moment and am unable to come up with a challenge that wll inspire and excite.
Another weekend adventure with the Holga lens and the Photo Merge tool in Lightroom.
Was driving home when I saw a truck repair spot with a lot of tools and photographic chaos. Had to give it a shot.
This has been sitting in my file for several years, and I wasn't making sense of it. At least not like I wanted to.
I picked up a Holga 60mm f/8 lens for $13.99 and while I liked some aspects of the results, I wasn't fond of the harsh vignette this lens is manufactured for.
I've been all around Europe. A number of places like cathedrals are amazing but Assisi is probably my favorite, right from the start. I'm simply blown away. Amazing.
