Konica Hexar AF, XP2.

And a dream of landscape. I like this very much, Rob. Quite mysterious in a way.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I like the idea of a dream, Pete. I had a struggle not getting myself in view here, hence the strange angle.

Love it Rob, was going to comment on Flickr but it went haywire and could not post.
I do like these kind of dark tones with depth amongst others.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. There's an older feel to this image which I like.

Yes . These tones simply resonate with me, always have ,cannot be helped. The whole make up of this image is superb. Only the one tiny thing , maybe a touch more below the buckets, a slither. But really all those little things , , the obvious buckets, the bells the writing above the bells. No.19 . it goes on and on, to cap it off a window where another picture tells a story Quite what and how that, window is made, is a mystery and better for that.

Thanks, Julian. I'm so pleased you see what I see. I wish I could do more images like this. Somehow I feel it works partially because it is made from film, not bits. I don't know why that should be.

 

[Brian Moore]

Can't quite figure this one out, Rob. Well spotted!

 

[Paul Lange]

I like this very much. I agree it does feel a bit mysterious doesn't it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Paul.

We see what we recognise I guess , I'd definitely say using certain types of film camera I behave differently , as I do using the Merrill's against using my OM-D or Canons. For myself aesthetically film is a no brainer, I cannot justify the running costs as an everyday option. I have a daughter at Uni after all

I've noticed I take a lot fewer photos these days....that might be a good thing...

 

[Paul Lange]

I've taken hardly any, inspiration has been gone for a while now. The last ones were te calla lilly. Anyone know how big they grow? Mine has got pretty big, I have just had to repot it.

I need to get off my arse and out with the camera more I think, but maybe not a good thing to try to force it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Never any point in forcing it. My creative energies have been occupied with jazz guitar of late. There's always something on the boil, and a dozen things on the back burners.

 

[Paul Lange]

I've been playing the guitar quite a bit too recently but limit how much time I play each day. I've also learnt how to set them up too would be nice if I could learn to play as adeptly.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Any questions re guitar playing, just ask. Pete will know the answer
