Thanks Pete. Yes Will asked me to take these, so I said I'd get a print done. Means fish for the yearOh I like these very much, Julian. The contrast between the froth of the net and the scales glittering on the deck, and the fish themselves, is fabulous. I especially like the composition of the first with the way the boat nestles into the floats and the last, with the fisherman standing swathed in his net - very, very effective.
Indeedy Rob I did. Just old age, not that you'd know anything about thatNot that I'm one to complain or anything, but you spelt RADJEL wrong
Good to see other people workingCan't stand working, myself. Love the net in the last shot especially.
Is that a fox eating a fish?
I love your shots of fishing boats and their occupants Julian!
If I'm allowed to be picky? I would just watch that greying of the lost highlights in the sea in the second one. Perhaps a smidge of underexposure at the point of taking the image might retain a bit of data there without doing too much damage to the rest of the exposure?
I have in fact been contemplating stopping photography because of that, yet resist and will plough on a short while yet to see if I can get exited about it again.
I dont think I could shoot in jpeg, it brings out a rash . Not keen on zooms, I used to be, the canon L's which I have were ok, but have become a snob of late and like primesSince I am a latecomer to this thread, I can only agree to the superlatives and wish you not to stop your photography if possible. I don't know but Fuji in jpeg works fine I'd say and since the Merrills cover 28 to 105mm I am sure that a Fuji lens of quality can cover the same. That probably would make things easier I hope? One camera, one lens. Look who's talking![]()
I hear you Ivar. I mention the XT-1 as I am never comfortable with the range finder style cameras. Odd but that is how it is. I've enough, there are souls out there who would love one camera, I must remember that. I've yet to get my Mamiya out working, maybe that will create a spark. It's bloody heavy though.Well I follow you there, but my "old" trusted Fuji xe1 handles pretty well both in jpegs and raw and as I have set certain parameters in the raw converter, there's next to nothing to do on the pc in photoshop. And now I've chosen sensia as the film in raw. You see I am not so colourful anymore. Well 18mm works marvelously well, a pancake I'd say. That combo fits in a larger jackets outer pocket and xt1 and xe1 have the same output. And you are used to take your time. An xe1 could possibly cost you about 200 £ today. I'll even give you one of mine. All the best to you.
I have a rope.There'll be a lynch mob at your door if you do!![]()
