Adobe emailed me a link to this today. – https://www.adobe.com/au/lead/photo/yourshotyourstory/night.html
I really like the look he creates and how easy it sounds to do. I’m going to give it a try, and I thought it would be fun if other people gave it a try too, so we could compare notes.
There is a video about it on the page too.

That’s funny. I don’t really remember the smell, but I don’t remember it as being unpleasant.
I tried to look up what it smells like and found this:
Anyone who’s ever stood in a photography darkroom won’t ever forget the smell. It’s a distinctive blend of chemicals—hydroquinone, acetic acid, sodium carbonate, phenidone, and ammonium thiosul…

I love both takes. At first I was thinking how beautiful the colours in the first one were, then I scrolled and in the second one realised there were mountains that I didn’t even see in the colour. It looks much more dramatic.
very nice all round.

And it occurred to me that there might be a darkroom nearby and there is! just a couple of suburbs away for a very reasonable price, so maybe I will do some prints after all 🙂

It’s funny because when I got my first digital camera is was a revelation, but at the same time one of my fondest photography memories was shooting using a large format camera which is about as slow and manual as you can get.
If you ever get the chance to shoot with large format I highly recommend it. It’s a pity they are so expensive.

I’ve been digital for a while now – mostly even shooting on my phone – but I also have a decent sized collection of film cameras. Some are vintage and don’t work, but I still have plenty that should.
And today I bought myself a film development kit! I’ve developed film before, back at Uni and in high school even, but it has been a WHILE.

They look delicious! Are the pink ones edible or would I be dead now?
Re the photo: The colours and soft contrast are just right in that first one to give that cosy autumn feeling. Very nice.

Just a little experiment in abstract art. Spoiler: I was in a carwash. The patterns the waster was making on the glass were just so pretty.

Kim U replied to the topic Working on Consistancy in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 2y, 6mo ago
No need to be embarrassed. A big reason to take photos is hoping other people will like them. It only needs a normal sized ego 🙂 Not that you should tie your worth to other people Liking your photos, but it can be a nice dopamine hit when they do.
And at least you know where the issue lies, and it’s not too hard to fix. You just need to find…[Read more]

Kim U replied to the topic Hi everyone, I'm Kim in the forum Introduce Yourself Here!! 2y, 6mo ago
I feel like part of it is there is less pressure. If I use my DSLR I want it to be a great shot and I’ll have to take loads and then spend time choosing and editing them.
But if I’m on my phone I know it won’t be great quality, so it’s just about capturing the moment and the vibe and if my in phone editing is a bit heavy handed, well, that’s just…[Read more]

They are all great in the story they tell but the position of them and the framing of 5 is just perfect.

Kim U replied to the topic 21st Century still life in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 2y, 7mo ago
Did you have any fill light coming from the left? I feel like maybe not. A reflector on the left to bounce some light back into the dark areas would bring out more detail. And the water/plastic will look nicer when they are transmitting some light, so a reflector bouncing light from behind will be good too.
The pure black background seems a bit…[Read more]

First thing to do is identify WHY you’re putting photography on the backburner, because that will determine your solution. Some possibilities:
- work/life getting in the way and no time for hobbies
- other hobbies taking your attention away
- frustration from not taking the photos you want to be taking
- frustration from not getting enough…

Kim U replied to the topic An Age Old Debate: Opinion Piece: A Dialog with an Old Fart from MN in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 2y, 7mo ago
No photograph is actually reality, just like the images our brains produce are all filtered through our perception. In every single photo, the way the light is captured is manipulated by the photograph whether deliberate or not. I find it interesting that Graham said that “Even the grand masters like Ansel Adams manipulated their images” when he…[Read more]

Thanks for clarifying when it happened. I just realised I said this year, but yes, it was 2019 of course. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that we were there.

Kim U replied to the topic Hay Bales (B&W) Landscape (ReDeux) in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 2y, 7mo ago
I actually like it better in black and white. It’s got a rural gothic atmosphere. The coloured ones have a whole different vibe to them.
But, your shadows are too dark. I’d like to see some detail in the ends of those biggest hay bales and in the furrows on the right. Those furrows especially are very contrasty and harsh.
Are you doing any…[Read more]
