Ok guys, I'm back. here's two from my Egypt trip to keep this project 52 going.

Ok so this isn't my best work but it does qualify for a shot for the week (camera getting a sensor clean) Normal device should be resumed soon.

Today's shot, This is my Yashica electro 35G it from 1977 which makes it 2 years younger than me! I inherited it from my late uncle. Its been to more places than I care to think but hasn't took a shot in anger for many many years. I plan to get my hands on some 35mm black and white film and have my self a play, for old times sake. I've read that the lens is pin sharp and much better than it had any right to be in its day. I shall keep you guys informed as to how I get on!

 

[RON_RIP]

Had one of these in the early Eighties. Great camera. Dead sharp lens. Looking forward to your photos.

 

[James Clark]

So, I have got a picture to upload but today for some reason It doesn't want to play ball. I'll try again later of tomorrow

 

[James Clark]

Had my office stripped for re-decoration. Also neede a new computer desk so that was packed away too. So heres my pics to get me up to date.


13/8/15 - Shooting a star's, take in my own back garden during the meteor shower, the only one I got. didn't see one by eye.

23/8/15 - doofus dog, ella been silly, rollong about in the grass/morning dew.

24/8/15 - fire in the sky, Nature been kind and giving off a light show rarely seen in good old blighty, Rushed to the park as soon as I saw the cloud formation readying for this spectacular. I wasn't disappointed.

Very good shots.

 

[James Clark]

Something a little different, its a new edit. Its a new kind of edit for me and well I'd like some feed back on it. Do people thing it looks real, over done or just plane wrong. Please share you thoughts...

I do like this shot, done this many times with flowers out of the garden, it's a kind of simple picture but it works well.

The flowers just look a little out of focus.

 

[James Clark]

Yea, probably should have used a narrower aperture, also a tripod if I'd have done that I could have focus stacked it to get a better depth of field.

 

[James Clark]

I've named this, rust dust and pick-ups. Its a close up view of what 30+ years of hard work does to hand made pick-ups.

The man who made these (along with the guitar) has long since passed away.

Couple for this week (Due to my promotion i've had a lot on my mind of late and not really done much) Hope to get back into it some more now I can concentrate.

 

[Roy1961]

playing catch up, congrats on the promotion.

 

[Marilynne]

Congratulations on your promotion.

 

[James Clark]

This weeks picture is a HDR, the sky, believe it or not is pretty much cock on to what it was on the night. But a second and third opinion wouldn't go a miss (Since its my first attempt at a 5 shot HDR)

 

[James Clark]

The alternative version is this, which is one of the 5 shots edited to resemble something close to what I remember....

 

[cwgrizz]

James, I think I like the second shot of the bridge, best. The first is over-processed for me, but HDR is subjective on what people like.
