Photograph and Camera talk

[motojobobo]

I’m glad for the privilege of discussing my photo issues with you guys here. I’m way past my peak interest in photography (20s thru 40s), so an Iphone camera it is for me. I’ll rarely carry a second camera with me, no matter how small and good it is.
Thank you!

@motojobobo One of the reasons I still carry a camera on vacations is specifically to limit the amount of minutes my phone is in my hands. A camera lets you disconnect while still capturing moments.

Did this ever happen to anyone of you? You walk around your home, spot something and feel the urge to capture it?

@Marc2706 love it

[Marc2706]

@goosehd thanks a lot! It looks very fast, but to be honest, it was maybe 90 km/h

Went to Central Park today for the Cherry Blossoms,decided to mess around with my Lensball.

[NorvilleRogers]

Ive wanted one of these for a while and now its here, I can’t bring myself to open it….
Fixed lens and only shoots in B/W.
Ridiculous!
But if Im gonna be extravagant and indulgent, I might as well throw ‘stupid’ into the mix.

@NorvilleRogers I’d like to think that if Ansel Adams was alive today,that would be his camera of choice. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

I think most of us here knows this: „The best camera is the one you have with you.“
Some of my favourite photos I‘ve taken are the ones of the most basic and random stuff, which I would have missed without a camera on hand.

[NorvilleRogers]

I totally agree @don_pipone
While this Leica remains un-opened, I have a least rekindled my love of taking pictures. Ive reverted to my 10 year old Canon and my even older original Fuji X10. Even those don’t come close to experimenting in the dark-room or pushing Ilford ISOs to ridiculous levels for pure fun.
It was never about resolution or extremities of sharpness and I think buying this thing has reminded me of that.
Maybe that’s why Ive left it in it’s box and kept the receipt!

[NorvilleRogers]

It might be a bit small for Adams, @Jett129
I’ve always imagined he’d be more of a Hasselblad man. Who knows!
But its amazing that such a long time ago, he set a standard which is yet to be matched in landscape.

I had posted this picture a while ago,with the caption “If Ansel Adams had a Lensball” I like to think that at his advanced age he would have enjoyed a smaller camera that he could easily take everywhere. No to mention seeing his work immediately. When I was out at Yosemite,there was an Ansel Adams tour that took you to some of the iconic places that he shot at,but sadly it wasn’t being offered when I was out there. @NorvilleRogers

@NorvilleRogers congrats to this beautiful and very special camera!

@Marc2706 I’m curious about your technique for picking subjects. Do you pick a spot and wait for the perfect opportunity, or do you take pictures that are spur of the moment (impromptu)? Love your pictures and curious what goes into some of the pictures that you have shared.

[Jett129]

@Marc2706 Love how the reflection kind of serves as a leading line to get you int the image. Like everything about it.

Some b/w fun yesterday

[Marc2706]

@goosehd thanks a lot for your kind words! Most of the pictures during my travels are taken spontaneously but I always take the weather forecast into account.

@Jett129 Thanks a lot Jett!
