I really wish people would stop cutting off their blacks. I'm just so bored of that, everyone and their mom does it and with the rise of instagram and the alikes it really lost all retro or artistic or moody meaning it once had remembering us off old pictures that lost their grip, their freshness.

I understand that it takes the tension out of the picture and transports that "old" and "earthed" message but for years photographers have been trying to get as much different tones of dark and light into pictures as possible, the digital photography provoked a vintage trend and now we are trying to make pictures look as shallow as possible because of "hey I like that look"...

Sorry 'bout the large dump, just got 2 rolls developed, first pictures with my 50mm f/1.4 Super Takumar.

we had one of those for our school ball

the photos are all kinda shitty...
The live photos are all bad, the staged were okay but the photographers all wanted these really un-natural looking poses, really ruins the "couple" feel of them

A panorama shot of a piece of the land on which we stayed for the night.

This is a local on the top of the highest point in Africa (where we went), it's called the Sani Pass. 9 degrees Celsius, with the wind it felt like -2. It was fucking cold.

Very nice indeed. The fact that it's slightly off-centre bothers me, but it's a great photo.

I feel it should be a little more to one side, going by the rule of thirds anyway.

I'm experimenting with the 'Brenizer Method', in this case getting some pretty awesome results using 23 photos in a panorama, shot with 50mm at f/1.4.
Tomorrow, human testing as portraits.
