thank you :) it was part of a roll of test shots. I still have a roll of color film that I need to develop sometime that I am very sure I got some great photos on it, but we'll have to wait and see ;)

a very nice photo with well-done framing,
seeing stuff like this makes me wish more that this website allowed higher resolution images. sadly the photo suffers from all the compression on this site. if you happen to have it uploaded somewhere else in higher res, I'd love to see it there and take in more of the details.

a very lovely image, although I would have liked to see a little bit more of the stem in focus together with the flowers themselves. aside from that frankly rather subjective gripe, I really like what you did here.
keep it up!

OH i REALLY like this one. the way you implied movement reminds me more of an effect I've seen used in film or manga, the highlights, and the shadows, are all very well done! and it's all in sharp focus. did you need to use a tripod for this one? cause it looks like it was a bit cloudy. very creative though, that's for sure.
nicely done!

that photo looks pretty good. it looks like some kind of smog or myst present was present or were you taking that photo against the light? it looks like it's clipping in the highlights of the sky. it does have a certain mood though :)

Indeed. I wish i had downsized this a bit more, cause the website actually squashed image slightly and oversharpened it. Despite the fact that i selected the option for it to not add additional sharpening after the fact. Oh well :')

Oh that is a lot of really cool gear actually. Im gonna be honest, darkroom development is just a little too complex for me i also don't have the space for that. Although it would be very beneficial if i were to do that and get a flatbed scanner. Right now tho i directly scan my 35mm negatives using a primefilm 7200 (reflecta crystalscan 7200 in germany) it's a manual scanner which takes ages is a bit defective and needs a lot of fiddling about, but when it works. Well the results look pretty good. Although it says it can do 7200dpi, it actually scans at 3600dpi tho to reach that Resolution i need to double the scanning resolution. So basically there is a lot of redundant data that i need to remove by downscaling the image after the fact (which i need to do for this site anyways. The size and resolution limit is archaic and honestly frustrating to deal with) even when downsized to half the scanning resolution the files still take up almost 400MB per image sometimes. Nevertheless, it's fun to do and I'm actually going to start at least developing film at home in the near future to save on costs.
Cheers.

ah. as a certain painter would have said "there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents" -Bob Ross (Robert Norman Ross)
the fact that the image is a little soft is not a focus issue, I was legit just not able to get a high enough shutter speed for handheld in that moment and to be honest, had some shaky hands. I also like the result and felt it added to the image but was very much having a hard time deciding whether or not to upload it. I'm glad it worked out in the end!
I did get into film by accident. I bought some vintage lenses which came with a film camera, an old Voigtländer Vito-B, a lovely little thing. that kinda kickstarted it all. I have since upgraded from that to a Minolta XG9, then a Nikon FA, and finally: the Nikon F4, which I got for a very good price.

very interesting look to this one. how did you get that focus smear on the side of the image? did you move the camera while taking the shot to get that effect?
while the blur is an interesting feature, it honestly distracted me from the main focal point of the image,
tho it does make me wonder what lens you used.
aside from that, I find the framing to be very nice. there's some good sharpness to the tree and the plants in front of it, and there's a nice contrast between it, and the clouds, though I would almost say that the image is ever so slightly too dark in my eyes, and the horizon being tilted irks me a little.
those minor subjective gripes aside, this is a very lovely photo. it deserves more attention as it shows a particular kind of intentionality that I don't see a lot of anymore these days.
please do keep it up.

a very nice (what looks to be) double exposure. I have yet to try out making those myself. I know getting something decent that way is pretty difficult so I respect the craft. The focus is done beautifully and blends nicely with the shallow depth of field on the flowers!
