Medium Format Fun

0 comments
A little fun for those that enjoy a true film camera. Holga makes terribly ugly, and terribly fun, all plastic medium format (120mm) camera. They are really cheap and take some interesting photos, take a look:

Our first project was a success! We had good participation (for the small number of members we have) and hopefully we will continue this throughout our future projects.

Here is the winning image, submitted by Mark Wilkinson, for Project #1: Abandoned Spaces:

Project #2: Subject in 3 Parts

0 comments
It's simple. Pick a subject and take three unique pictures of it. It could be a person, a landscape scene, a particularly interesting object lying around in your backyard, or anything else you could think of. This project is really open for interpretation and creativity. Just to illustrate: You could take a picture of a row of houses along a street, then take a close up of one of those houses, then take a macro of the door knob of that house. Or you could simply take three pictures of a plant from three different angles, or at three different times of day.

There is only one stipulation, each picture must be different. You can change the zoom, exposure time, time of day, etc., but each needs to be unique and you cannot accomplish this with software alone. As always, feel free to adjust and enhance your photos with software, but these software enhancements cannot be the only difference.

This project officially begins today 06/07/2010, you have until Monday 07/05/2010 to get your submissions in!

Since this project requires three pictures, please combine these photos in your photo editor of choice. To keep it simple submit them in either horizontal or vertical orientation, with a little white space between each.

IF YOU NEED HELP GETTING YOUR SUBMISSION IN THE PROPER FORMAT, PLEASE EMAIL fotoDorks@gmail.com.

Unlike before, the image size restrictions are a little different. The 1024 pixel limit is still in effect, but it is PER IMAGE, not for the combination of the three.

Happy shooting!
