The man makes me feel humble as someone attempting to make photos.

exactly! i live for details like that in photographs!
Whaddya think of this picture (click to enlarge)?
It's part of a series that I haven't finished yet, called The Journey.
I'd love to have some sort of device that allowed me to clamp the camera to the bike while keeping the camera at eye level, but I don't. If I did, I could keep both hands on the bars while taking the photo (using the 2 second timer to release the shutter) - I think having both hands on the bars would vastly improve the effect and the viewer's imagination of riding the bike.
I might do it one day, I'm sure I can make something out of the shaft from a small monopod and a clamp.

This is just a picture of a sculpture I made today out of copper based on my entry to the photo comp (http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spookyponies4ab.jpg)

I like the photo of it more than the thing itself. It's inside a box which is not actually square.

Quite like it - needs a bit more DOF though I reckon - not sure. It seems like your hand and the handlebars are in focus and clearer than the subject (the road sign) but that might just be my imagination. Probably an idea worth continuing, I'd say.5T3R30TYP3 said:Whaddya think of this picture (click to enlarge)?

I tried to do this with a compact digital, same thing - my results were shit. Too much vibration,so the results ended up very blurred and a bit cack. Your attempt however is good, I like the border (daft thing to say), as it makes it a bit more 'urban' and gritty, I also like the way you have only one hand on the bar. Makes it more 'ardcore and risky, if that makes sense.
I'd of been tempted to take the picture a little further back than what you have, and tried to of get more of the road to give mor of a sense of motion. Having said that, my results were shit
Goodstuff as ever, man.
Look forward to seeing the rest.

Have you ever seen those things that musicians used to use to hold a mouth organ in front of their mouth while playing guitar? You could probably rig up one of those. You can also get 'extender' shutter release buttons, it's on a long cable type thing to allow you to press the shutter remotely. One end screws into the usual shutter release button. You could have the button in your hand while riding, and press it to take the photo.

Did you do that first one just with the camera and developing, or was a computer involved?

I used film until the developing stage then scanned it.
I put in the comp thread: "It's an unusual process but not really modified: Taken on very high speed B&W film in an SLR, developed and then scanned directly from the negatives on a standard flatbed scanner, muck, scratches and all. In Photoshop I just used curves, and inverted it of course.

No, no filters. I agree it's a bit gimmicky - I try and do good darkroom prints of everything I take on film (and like) but that isn't very often cos I haven't got the patience and the darkroom at college sucks. I guess the second one isn't really suitable for photocrit, but I liked it as an image in it's own right. Any feedback?

IMO, it's a photo of an unusual piece of something. It's a photo that you might find in a museum catalogue.
Negativland

Yeah, but if it wasn't a photo at all, and was a painting stuck on a wall, would you like it? I think it's a bit wierd when photographers take a fairly straight picture of someone else's sculpture and present it as their own work, I only ask cos it's my own thing in the box, and it's based on the first photo.
I guess I also asked because I rarely see photos as a finished product and think it's interesting to see how something can develop out of it

The thing is an interesting sculpture, but the photo of it doesn't jump out at me as a photo.

Love the picture
I think there may be a way of rigging up a way of clamping a ball & socket thngy (techinical term
).I'm primarily thinking of the fixings that hold a bell. Can't quite visualise it but iit's nearly there. Would look great using the video feature

Took this having fun at the houses of parliement
Played with the gamma a bit to bring the tree in better focus
bag in tree
To the purists playing with the gamma made no difference to the play of light on the pillar in the railings. Mind you even at the expense of bringing out the tree, if it had an effect on it I would have left well alone

you can buy something called a magic arm that bolts onto anything attatched to it is a flexible arm so you can bend the camera into whatever position you want5T3R30TYP3 said:Whaddya think of this picture (click to enlarge)?

It looked better on my phone all small - it looks shit on the monitor.
I don't know what these 'levels' you speak of are.
It's my work building seen from underneath the bridge that goes over the entrance (there's a little room under the bridge with multicoloured floor lights that you see reflected here)
