Photograph and Camera talk

Thank you @weftyarn These are very edited,cropped etc. I tend to test everything I do to see how it might look in B&W,or if the color just isn’t working for me. While I have a plugin that gives me access to about 50 different analog B&W films,for this I just clicked B&W and proceeded to adjust the images accordingly.

A few from my father's workshop, where we produced linoleum printed cards.
I'm 80% in front of a computer on work days and it's always refreshing, almost meditating, to produce something without any electricity involved (other than the room lighting) in my free time.Applying color to the press, the linoleum cut already prepared
As orange as it gets….

It's alway "our" work (the whole family helps together), but yes, there's some favorites that i will share next time I'm at the workshop
There's a whole lot to explore.. A graphic designers dream, really.
I'm happy I make my living as an Engineer and I'm really passionate about it too,
but the hands on experience of these "older crafts" is priceless. -
printshop setup is the shit @weftyarn ! how did you come by them?

Sorry for the late reply, @steelworker
It's been quite a busy few weeks…So we found the printshop on the second market last summer and drove down 1.500km to very south of France (near Toulouse) to go pick it up and install it in my fathers workshop here in Munich.
We had to rent a really big van to transport the estimated 1.2 tons of lead. The press alone was 250kg, if I recall correctly. It was mid-summer, the sun was out and it was beautiful to drive through France enjoying the nature. Enjoyed a lot of cheese and wine too, of course.The printshop is amazing, but the memories of that trip make using it so much more special. It was truly amazing!

Really great. Love denim Macro photography,which I had never seen before Iron Heart. Keep at it. I think there might be an IH Macro Photography thread which I contributed to years ago. I’ll look around. @weftyarn I found it and tagged you. Maybe we can resurrect it. Called Macro shots of Iron Heart Gear.

Michael Runtz is a Carleton University professor in Ottawa who specializes in nature based courses. One of my favourite lectures was where he used filters to show what insects and wildlife see versus what we see. With flowers you see them completely differently and some plain looking flowers are absolutely gorgeous with the right filters and lighting.
It’s something I have been interested in and may pursue at some point. I love nature in general and often find those are the subjects I most like to photograph. With macro it’s fun to get those close up pictures of pollen that your normally don’t see unless you’re looking for it.
I think that the lenseball with nature could make some fantastic images as well.

I bought all 3 sizes and have only,occasionally,used 2 at a time.Haven’t found much use for the Mini one yet,and the only one that my assistant/wife can hold is the middle sized one,and she gets tired holding that one as they are surprisingly heavy. I bought the mounts/stands and have rarely used them. One thing you have to be careful of is if the sun hits the Lensball at a certain angle while someone is holding it,it gets really hot really quick. Had my wife wear a glove,so that I don’t have to pay attention to her skin tone when editing.

Great shots there…Also, great lens ball work again, @Jett129
Do you have any favourite examples of your work to share?
