[szekiat]-A few photos a week 2006 (london photostory)

szekiat · 17th January 2006

One from today:

The big issue magazine is a co-op run by and for the homeless of london. Sellers keep 50% of the money or about 75c per issue. Not bad when you are poor. It gives the homeless something to do, and has played a big part in lowering crime as these ppl would otherwise have had to resort to robbery.

Nice pic, and interesting story

szekiat · 23rd January 2006

This is a service point on the M4 motorway. Bus needed to stop for 15mins. Taken on my nokia N70. Sometimes, there's really no need for a camera.

Really enjoyed all 3 images to date! U have a good eye, shoot on!

Loupisk · 31st January 2006

Very nice pics. Nice light and colours. Will be glad to see more coming.

Isaiahfortythirtyone · 31st January 2006

very ncie captures. im surprised by the N70 one. btw, i think ur CNY shot is a little bit under?

szekiat · 31st January 2006

i purposely under expose that as digital sensors seem to have a problem trying to capture shades of red when they are exposed properly. even as it is, a lot of tonality is gone...

Terence · 31st January 2006

It's kinda hard to find a balance between exposure and capturing enough tonality and details. Guess digital just doesn't cut it in this regard.

How about some shots from the xpan?? Haven't seen any of those from you in a while. You didn't sell it did you?

szekiat · 31st January 2006

haha, the xpan's still with me...with an f4 lens, its sometimes quite hard to shoot in british weather. I've got a roll of velvia 50 in it from the last time the sun came up nearly 1 mth ago!! Soon soon soon......

Terence · 2nd February 2006

Same with mine, you start one roll and it's still in there 2 months later. How about finishing off that roll of Velvia with some long exposures? That'd take care of your problem with the poor weather.

szekiat · 11th February 2006

Weather is good at last and the xpan roll is finally on its way to the developers. In the meantime, exercising my compact camera. All shot on canon S60:

Trapped

Everything and everybody's pointing at the blue blue skies! Its been weeks!!!
