DP2Quattro. I got bored doing the ironing...

 

[Brian Moore]

I understand that,...but I don't think it would have occurred to me to photograph it. Beautiful set. I love the simplicity of the string.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian. It was the first one, the light on the sheet, that made me think of doing them.

 

[Brian Moore]

Cheers, Brian. It was the first one, the light on the sheet, that made me think of doing them.

The light filtering through that sheet is sublime, I might add.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You may.

 

[Brian Moore]

You may.

On the other hand I might not!

 

[Dave Farnes]

I have to agree with Brian; not something I would have considered as a subject. The string particularly makes a strangely interesting image.

 

[Rense Haveman]

Cheers, Brian. It was the first one, the light on the sheet, that made me think of doing them.

Great set. But... you must have been on you knees to see that light below the ironing board on the sheet. So you were distracted anyway.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha. I had left the room to get some water, and was when I re-entered the room I saw the light on the sheet.

Dave, thanks. The string belongs to the ironing board.

Hmmm.....

 

[Pete Askew]

Sublime works for me! Great set. I'll have an opportunity myself later today!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good! I sincerely hope they inspire you to do some photography today, Pete, as I do miss your postings here. Your images often come to mind when I have a camera to hand. And it's often the most simple things you've done, rooms and objects within, on the border of memory.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Rob. I have taken very few images of late. Not really sure why but I am determined to do more in Feb.

Whenever I can't get out of the house, I begin to look for inspiration in the home. If not for the subject, I find it keeps my technique going.

Love the set, also particularly interested that you have several of the Sigmas. I'm interested in digital cameras with fixed focal lengths at the moment and those Quattro models look fantastic and the Foveon adds a great deal of technological interest.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Hi Matt. Good to hear from a newcomer to the site. The Quattros are quite unique, wonderful for some shots, terrible for others. The most unique is the Zero - if you only get one, that should be it.

 

[Matt Byrne]

Is that the 14mm equivalent?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes. There's only a couple from it on my website, but I have a Flickr album which has over 200:

I am so glad he finally studies
