That’s tiny… How is she going to keep anything in there ?

From this morning’’s #elongations session with the wonderful Marie.

Hey Londoner friends, I’ll be vacationing in your fine city for a few days mid-April. Any recommendations on cool cultural things to do suitable for a 14yo ?

Wow! You nailed the exposure on this one. These gallery shots are super tricky.

Very cool. And very happy to see you creating again.

@billthoo.bsky.social annual exploration of the same bridge with fireworks above it yields ever more fascinating results. Look at this gorgeous dry plate! #believeinfilm

So incredibly gorgeous. How long was the exposure ???

*Long Marie* is an older session of ELONGATIONS. It's mostly elongations of limbs or extremities. Still nowhere near the degree of abstraction achieved by Brandt, but I'm also finding my own way, which is nice. #artisticnude #studiolight #texture #blackandwhite

We don’t post anonymous Art Nudes. Every post is a re-post directly from the Bluesky account of the model or photographer. We think that you should know who the real artists are, and that they should get credit for their work. If you think this is worthwhile, please like, follow and share.

Masnick: "This is what so many of us kept pointing out throughout the 'Twitter Files' hysteria: the 'free speech' grift was never about protecting individuals from the state. It was about protecting a specific type of speaker from the social consequences of their speech."

Só Danço Samba is the worst (ie. the best) kind of earworm...

I love this album…

I don’t know how I never heard of Jan Saudek before but I’ve now corrected that omission. Not a huge fan of all the themes, but the rendering is stunning. Does anyone know about his colour process ? #believeinfilm

Thanks. We all stand on the shoulders of giants!

‪*Long Sophie*, digital #doubleexposure wide-angle portraits.

The #elongations project started as an hommage to Bill Brandt but took a life of its own. I feel I have also found the textured look I want for the images. What do you think?

We watched the 1st tonight. I loved it. The wife needs more to commit but the brazil nuts joke made her laugh for a whole minute.

These are lovely #believeinfilm

@themedicigallery.bsky.social am I correct that 40mm is the widest lens available ? If yes than that's not the system for me, but thanks for pointing it out and helping me choose !

Is there a version with a regular viewfinder ? I really struggle with the overhead viewfinders…

At a cursory glance, Pentax 645 is cheapish, wider lens is a 35mm (equivalent 24mm) and it's electronic so will die one day. Mamiya 645 is more expensive, widest lens is 25mm (equivalent 15mm) and there may be manual models? What else is out there?

OK #believeinfilm I know what I want in a 645 system better. I want to get into a system that allows me to shoot portrait and wide angle, as wide as possible. Wide angle lense needs to have a short focusing distance. Cheap and/or durable is better. Looking for recommendations.

I’m in the mixed camp. Possibly my GR1 was a dud, but I never really enjoyed the experience shooting it, and more importantly never really liked the resulting images.

Maybe not Springsteen's best song, but possibly his most impactful. Share far and wide.

This is so gorgeous... What's a zinc print ?

The Asadas The Asadas  The Asadas is a 2020 Japanese movie that only made it to France in 2023. It's the story of a young photographer who is bored...

Here's the review I wrote of The Asadas. It doesn't spoil anything, I don't think. I highly recommend it, especially for fans of photography : benfelten.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-...

Is this the guy whose life became the movie The Asadas? I guess not considering it's a different name, but the theme speaks to me (and I loved the movie...)

Is it in high demand ? I ran a couple of rolls through it and it never clicked with me. Wonder if it's worth selling...

Silhouette of a woman with stamped text all over her torso and face that says I Forgive Myself. Black and white double exposure film photography.

A woman's upper torse in profile, overlaid with stamped letters that spell Shame repeatedly.

Two women facing each other and looking into each other's eyes. Typewritten words cover both of their upper bodies such as love, respect, forgiveness, etc.

New double exposure project entitled Body Language. The core concept is that the models contribute the texts they wish imprinted. It gets really deep really fast, and I find that fantastic. Here are some early images. #believeinfilm #doubleexpoxure #photography #fineartnude #filmphotography

Dungeon, Inc. A reverse dungeon TTRPG by the Merry Mushmen

There's not just photography, there are roleplaying games as well. The English language version of reverse dungeon meets corporate tropes game Dungeon, Inc. is available for funding. Let's assume there are geeky photographers here!
