The AM'ers who do creative stuff thread (draw/paint/photo/write/etc)

I know we have a 'creativity thread' but that has a lot of stuff from other non-AM'ers. That's cool with me but I wanted to start another thread for the AM crew who pursue their own creative stuff! So, please only post stuff here if you've created it yourself!

This thread is to share and comment/complement/criticise (constructive!)

Here's a shot from November in the city park of a small German town (Überlingen) I've been spending a lot of time in...



Looking forward to seeing other people's stuff!

i do love stuffing around in photo shop, be it photomanipuulation, touch up work or fractal stuff
your photography is flawless aye. are you self taught ?
how long have u been etc etc. im keen on photography also, just not very good

keeps me occupied anyways

The eye manipulations are cool.

Did you just work with a bunch of stock photos and then sit down for a whole day with Photoshop open or something? My photoshop knowledge doesn't go much further than processing my photos - and recently I've been using it less and less for that anyway because I've moved over to using Apple's Aperture to manage everything photo related.

And yes I'm self taught and definitely not flawless. 

I have been interested in photography since I was a child, and got my first digital camera relatively early (1999). I only got into it much more seriously about 3 years ago though.

In France in November last year:

i just took a whole bunch of pics in my room when i was bored, those are my eyes yeah found good quality image to work with and went to town on them. there millions of different effects, filters, brushes the sky really is the limit with what u can get out of an image. take a long time to get it just how ya like it tho. the photo retouching skills are great or fixing up shitty jpegs or photos that would be great if one or two things was different.  its sucks cos im sick of doin pictures of me or my ex but they are the only decent res images on my hdd that are usable. but i cant bring myself to mess with peoples images off devant art. i have downloaded around 45000 images from all over. great inspiration but thats about it

big up the quality, what equip u use?
i have middle of the range thing panasonic fz7. would love an slr makes a big difference in pic  quality imo

i just use lightroom or bridge for basic corrections and filing seems fine for my needs

Fair enough. When I first got into Photoshop I kind of 'collected' filters to use on images to entertain myself. Do you know the Eyecandy set? I don't even know if they exist anymore but around the time of Photoshop 5 or 6 (I think) they made some pretty neat filters to use on images and text.

I have a Canon 5D (digital SLR), a Canon 16-35 f/2.8L, a Canon 50 f/1.4, a Zenitar 16mm Fisheye lens and a Canon 85mm f/1.2. I sold my longer lens (100-300 f/4) before I left for Europe because it was too heavy to carry and I only ever used it for sports anyway which I haven't shot in Europe at all anyway. I might get a longer lens when I get back to Adelaide if I can see myself shooting any sports.

And yes an SLR makes a big different especially for larger prints. I've had some 36x24" prints done for myself and for family friends and they look great.

I like my fast lenses as well.

yeah i use the full colection of alien skin plugins which includes eye candy, film emulators, a resizing app that can increase a pics size 800% without losing quality or something ridiculous. just far better than the stock adobe effects.

those lenses are and arm and a leg.
where i used to work they used hasselblads,  was scared to breath near those things. 80k without lens

thats my goal to be able to have a few excellent large prints that i can put up knowin i made it

Aha! Alien Skin. The name made me remember some of the old stuff I made. I wish I had kept more of it...

Yeah good quality glass has always been expensive, but if you look after it lasts a long time. In my household we have three generations of Canon equipment. All of it works fine but every 25 to 35 years Canon has changed the lens system. I'm confident that unless I drop a lens or something equally unfortunate then I'll still be using them in 10 or 15 years.

Hasselblads and that other high end gear really is in a class of its own. I think I've spent more than enough on gear allready... :P

Another shot from France:

I love taking photos... but everyone pretty much knows that. I've always loved taking photos, I think I get it from my Dad, who also loves photography. I mostly love taking photos of people, catching them at a certain moment, etc etc. I wish I had a good camera!

no doubt but if its what your passionate about money doesnt matter

im no fan of religion but this is a stunning shot

seriously dude wtf thats crazy

Hehe. Yeah if there's one thing churches are almost good for it's for architectural photography.

That shot from Glenelg is actually upside down and flipped. That is, the water is at the top - which is why it's green.

Lexy have you got a photo gallery online or something?

ahh! and there are tiny sky ripples still killa.
im in the mood for long exposure shooting now!
damn you daylight

I used to upload them to Ringo, but now I just chuck them up on Facebook to share with friends. I'll open a Flickr account one day.

Fair enough Lexy.

cale I brought a tripod all the way to Europe for night exposures.

PS. I'm in GMT +1 so I'm going to bed. Have a nice day!

lol well worth it judging by that as  i said b+w architecture is my number 1, so interesting to look at
these are a few attempts with my cam
bloody facebook compression central so annoying. ya lose so much detail its ridiculous

Abandoned Train Station in Belair National Park


Wierd Graffiti behind Grand Lodge

i have smoked many a bong on the very step! many times back in my school days.
mate lived on upper sturt road we would get off the bus and walk into the park.
so nice in there

how old are you ? if your from that area we may know one another

im not tech savvy, so cant post/scan anythang. have never burnt a cd in my life!  - nes, will you show me? 

i studied, lived and breathed black and white photography for five years, wanna get me an old school slr pentax k1000 but will have to learn photoshop and get me a dig. cam also...

i draw and paint compositions, my fave medium is charcoal and decent pastels. but have new ideas recently to mix mediums in a certain way. prob is you see a perfect image in your head and the outcome rarely reflects its mental perfection.

i have been writing prose and poetry since my pre-teen angst hit @ 10.

  wrote my first novel when i was 12 - it will never see the light of day hehehe...

music, film scenes, plots, characters and dialogue ALWAYS comes to me on a daily basis... must get a voice recorder or something to get it all down...

i love to interact with music too, although i suck @ mixing and playing the guitar, ive never practiced consistently!

i need cash to buy some things - will get there though!!!

ANALOUGE ftw
lol
cant knock that one bit. i was just bought up in digital

I suspect that I am a few years older than you

I was raised in Crafers but went to school in the City

crafers is nice as, cold tho

i get so much satisfaction when i shot the pic using all the manual features on ol' slr's, then developing the film and the photos with a deep, rich filter 5 and FINALLY get the end result.

when i eventually nest, im going to have a makeshift darkroom and art/music studio ONE DAY!!!

nothing beats getting ya hands dirty !!
and being responsible every step of the way for its creation
gives you so much self satisfaction. not quite the same but after u spend 8 hours on 1 photo in photo shop ur pretty chuffed

Me too! I was 10 though. It was called 'The Killer Stallion' and it was about a horse gone crazy, killing everything in it's path. I had this epic opening sequence set on a boat, because the killer stallion was being transported to America, and it involved the destruction of every person, every piece of property on board, and the death of a killer whale, all at the hooves of my protagonist. I had a twist ending that revealed the stallion was sired by Phar Lap, who hadn't died, but been kidnapped by Nazi scientists. Very much a believable tale of man and beast was this novella.
I had just previously read 'Black Beauty' when I started this one! 

perfect in summer tho!!

i'm with you tho alana!!  absolutely love my soft pastels for artwork!  like to mess around with watercolours a bit but i don't know how to use them properly.
haven't done any paintings in a while, but i've now got myself a little art room set up, so will get back into it soon, just have to clear the clutter!

love taking photos too.  i just have no idea how to post them on here!

yeah, loads of fun whether youre attempting something seriously or to just muck around with, hey.

yeah, loads of fun whether youre attempting something seriously or to just muck around with, hey.

just the fact your doin what ya love
makes it rewarding

Next weeks overtime is going towards a Lomo Fisheye! Once that babys in my hot little hands ill be spamming this thread harder than Cale!

you wish
 


be sure to post tho, fish eyes are excellnt 

Here's some pics I took in Bath Botanic Gardens today

Bath in England? Nice colours - bet ours in Adelaide are a bit drier...

yeh yeh Bath in England, it's where I live now. Hot place for pics, amazing parks and wicked architecture, it's in a valley too so real scenic

Cool Look forward to some more pics of the old buildings there!

ummm i posted a heap in the old creativity thread on the pre crash AM...I'll track some down and get 'em up one time

most of u know i have a flickr site...

here are my fave galleries
Tanzanian Photos from 2006 (wish I had a bigass lens like some of the safari hunters n shit!)
Thailand Times 2006

and my fave photos from them...
Boats of Lake Victoria

Baby giraffe at Tarangire

Baobab tree at Tarangire

Lion at Ngorogoro

Hippos in a waterpool, Ngorogoro

Oli, do you sell your photos online? I saw a few sites where u can create accounts, I dont think mine are good enough for deviant but reckon I might get some sales for my tanzania and thailand pics at some of the others..I am definitely making wall prints (or even a canvas print, of the sunset at phiphi one)...

I love your photos Anna!

thanks babe!!! they arent half as good as oli's, but i dont have the time or inclination to get too tricky with photos. I will scan my latest lomo camera pics, it takes 4 shots at once, making a split image instead of just one photo. some of the photos turned out awesome, and i will have to take loads more to play around with it


here are some more of my faves...photos of graffiti and the like from melbs, and also some people pics using weird tricks like taking photos of a camera screen etc...





(sunrise at mt meru - thats killiminjaro across the clouds!!)

Anna, your Africa and Thailand photos are damn nice.

I have a print account at DeviantArt which in theory allows me to sell prints. I only set it up so I could buy my own prints though to be honest and I've never sold any through that service. I've sold a copy of this photo to a family friend as a finished 36x24 inch block mounted print.

Your photos are fine for deviantart - there's no real rules there as to how good something has to be for DA.

Thanks Oli! You know, its interesting what people would like to put on their walls...SO maybe I will set up that deviant art accoutn And you are right, it's a lot easier getting stuff printed n framed huh!

I got asked this week for a San Francisco guide/map to use a pic I took of Pac Bell stadium, when I was at the baseball...http://www.schmap.com...Cool huh!

Also, can anyone recommend any print/framers in Adelaide? I was going to check out one on Port Rd, near the Vinnies and Enzo restaurant..I think thats the one that Shan(Pase) uses? any other ideas? I want to get some things block mounted...

Deviant Art prints are pretty much the best you can get in terms of quality - and their prices are pretty good as well. They use Fujichrome crystal archive paper which from what I have read is the best you can get for photographic prints.

Just be aware that their prints approval process is very strict and they will only approve large sizes if the source files are up to scratch... This is not really a bad thing because it means you are ensured that the quality of the end print is going to be fantastic because you can't just send a shitty low resolution file and have them print it the size of a bus shelter advertisement.

The one you're thinking of on Port Road is probably Budget Picture Framers - I've been using them for years and don't have any complaints. I've had dozens of prints block mounted and a perhaps half a dozen photos framed. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Get your Lomo photos on here stat Anna!!! I think there is one of me in em!

I have my fingers crossed so bad that i can get my fisheye lomo in time for Womad!

have u ordered it yet????

yeah i have some of adelaide, u may well be in it yeah!! haha. simon has a hot diana camera, its teh cool. i cant wait to see what his pics turn out like

oli, ta for the tipoff, i have all my photos in high res to upload to deviant. and yeah, will checkout the budget framers this week sometime

You're welcome Anna.

Here're some photos from Friedrichshafen in December.

This is the city on Lake Constance where Zeppelins were basically invented. Unfortunately being home to this industry also meant the place was basically flattened in WW2 - but it's all been restored really nicely:



Sunset looking towards one of the churches:





Basically all German towns have Christmas markets around Christmas... Here's a shot of the main square in the evening...



And finally the new town library - IMO Germans (and most western European countries) do a fantastic job of fitting ultra modern new buildings into their cities:

Great photos Oli!

This thread is really inspiring me to get a better camera!!!

Thanks. 

This is the main church in the town where I spent a lot of time during my recent Europe stay... They had planned to put a second tower up but ran out of materials or something whenever it was built then never got around to finishing it off - so it's got a wooden roof on the second part. :P

The wooden angel in the foreground is part of a project that the local schools do at Christmas time. They are painted/decorated by students and dozens of them stand around all over the town. Pretty nice idea but unfortunately some vandals trashed a few...

From downhilling after work last Friday

I wish I had a good camera, this was taken with my phone
 

Ordering it on Wednesday when i get paid. Still trying to work out which one! Spent about 10 hours on that site in the past week trying to make the right choice!

Beautiful shot!

that's a wicked pic for a phone tho!

just buy one, they're all awesome! i dont mind doing a camera swap too, if u want to have a go at the diana or the 4-shot

thanks

I have a thing for light through trees

nice photos guys, some amazing shots there... 

i'm just wondering, how do you guys get your images to show on in your post? is there some way of attaching images onto my post? or do i have to upload them onto a photo uploading site or something....

Amazing how far phones have come... While travelling I saw heaps of people who obviously use them as their primary camera these days (ie. while travelling they don't carry a separate camera).

I have some photos I think you'll like Rookie if you like light and trees... Will post them soon. :P

Where do you go downhilling? Belair and Mitcham area?

mindthief you need to upload them to a photo hosting service of some sort, then you can put them in your post with the "insert image" button on the reply to post page.

oh cool cheers oli, whats one that you guys recommend? cos i dont have the faintest idea about this kind of thing...

first pic is Quarry on NE side of Brownhill Creek, we built some more jumps there

second pic is the far corner of 'bluegums' run at Eagle Park

Also ride all through Mitcham, Bennetts, Horsnells, Fox Creek, Kangarilla, Crafers Primary, Strath Rd, Lofty, Chambers Gully, 80 Acres, The Secret Mt Osmond -> Waterfall Gully Rd run, Pony Club -> Brownhill Creek, Cleland, Belair National Park, Jupiter Creek, Mt Crawford, Kuitpo

erm I think that's it   

Last year for my year 12 art practical class i had to do 2 major pieces, and i chose to do one on a junglist theme...i incorporated little images from other junglist pictures that i've found on the net cos i thought they were cool, but don't worry i'm not trying to pass them off as my own work...

so yeah just thought i'd share them with the massive  (sorry theyre so big, i cut them down by about half but it doesnt seem to have done much...)







 

Haha dude that is heaps cool! What did you actually do yourself there? That'd make a neat poster!

Rookie: fair enough. I remember a bunch of trails around the Mitcham area from back in the day when I went downhilling (7+ years ago now). Do you know the tracks 'steps' and 'andos' and 'steep track' aka 'shit steep' (this one ends near the start of the brownhill creek cross country track)? Good times! :P

awesome, i've successfully resized them...

oli i did it all myself... i drew the pictures on A4 paper, then scanned it on the computer, and filled it with colour using Photoshop...for the last one i mainly spliced some computer images together then changed the colours, but the first four are all my work, it took me ages to fill the colour in completely, was a very tedious task, but yeah i made the clouds and stuff and downloaded the fonts... then my art teacher printed them off on photogloss paper and stuck them in a long, horizontal frame, i thought it looked dope, think i got a pretty good mark for it too 

haha it does make an awesome poster - i've since stuck em up in my room!

In 1982 I had to design a record cover for school, so I chose a junglist theme.... black and red camouflage



'82 The Hits 

They had junglists in 82?

BTW nice tagline (electric boogaloo) - classic movie (both of them)

Well I was alive then so yes 

I like to think that maybe I was part of the collective consciousness that made it all possible 

But seriously I do   

I got my fisheye!!!!


YES baby! Come to mamma!!!

30$ cheaper than i though!

sooooo cant wait for it to arrive!

Nice one Spacey, I'm sure you'll have fun with it. My fisheye is the cheapest lens I have but I get great images from it and think it's a really fun lens to own.

Here're two photos I took from near Überlingen in southern Germany. In mid 2002 two aircraft collided and 71 people, mainly children, were killed. The metal balls are part of a memorial and are meant to represent the remains of the people in the plane who were found all over a large area. You can read about the accident here. Afterwards the flight controller who was apparently responsible was murdered by a relative of one of the crash victims!

I want a fish eye thingimibob!

That's a pretty grim story, Oli... but nice photos!

Yeah I've seen a doco on that crash... Carly is obsessed with watching any doco to do with death, but mainly the serial killer ones 

wow a great memorial and some wonderful photos, oli...

spacey. WOO! that camera looks teh hotness

Spacey checkout the New Yone Cheki/Fafi instamatic!!

not really my creative stuff but this is my nephews first attempt at drawing people. I dont know if it's bad or good! Its him and his sister and they look pretty scary to me!

image not archived: scan0008va5.jpg

that's awesome! i think they draw pretty good, how old is he?

PS apparently lots of people get their kids' drawings as tattoos, cool idea!

He's 4 and just started kindy. He normaly draws nothing but trains and fans so this was awesome!

If i had kids (BAHAHAHA) id get their drawings as tatts for sure! What better way to keep memories!

Definitely a future political cartoonist there.

I went to the Fringe opening thing last night... Here are some costumed women on stilts:

I was wetting my pants with excitment as i was opening it.

It the coolest thing i have ever seen in my life!

Can not wait to get some snaps!!!

Haha, nice work. They can be great fun, that's for sure.

Just be careful not to get your feet in the shot, or your ears, or other parts of you that are generally "behind" the lens.

Is it for a digital camera or a film one?

Its film!!!

Even better!

can weez contribute some drawings to this thread please?

 

thirded. motion carried.

how super light is it!!! just like a toy camera yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

hey spacey, i have a scanner!

I've always wished that I could draw!! Always.

I will post up some of my latest series, B&W Medium format night series. I'll have to get cracking with my scanner! 

i'm gonna buy some clay soon 

are they like comics?

They could be.... *steals idea* 

Nah, it's a photographic series, at night time, taken with my medium format camera, Helga the Holga.

owww!

*salivates*

She may be all plastic, but she's got a heart of gold 
I heart my Helga

i want a helga!!! *runs to buy more cool plastic cameras from lomo*

It's HOLGA, not HELGA. 

Anyway... Thread revival time.

Here are some I took the other night:

At sunset:

I'm really liking the bottom one. Ah the memories of that jetty though. Some guy was crabbing there at night, and somehow managed to fall in the water off the end while pulling up the net. Was classic.

Those photo's are beautiful Oli. Absolutely beautiful 

I used to not be too bad at being creative with paints/pencils/clay & photography back in the day. I have been nervous to start it all up again for some reason but my new years resolution is to get back into painting. It's just hard when you live in a house the size of a shoebox and don't have the space for it.

oh i hear u there nat!

Thanks natho and Miss Nat.

I can understand painting needing a bit of space, but photography doesn't (at least if you aren't developing your own film!) It's probably more expensive to get into though if you want to take it seriously.

Some photo's from the rather illegal and expensive Kuitpo forest trip. Keep in mind these are from a crappy point and shoot camera. I haven't really spent much time touching them up yet. Hoping to get Photoshop cranking and add a bit of fog and lighting effects in.

Cool photos mang that dude kinda looks like Jason Mewes  maybe its just the pose...

My Holga is named Helga though! Great shots oli, they're lovely! You should enter art prizes etc

Haha OK, cool.

And thanks

I took this one walking home from work today, god I love British summertime...al 16 days of it!

Good ol' Barossa, never fails! 

I'd love to head up there at this time of year... Would look great for photos.

Anyone want to drive me up there? You'll get some free prints and lunch.

ill eventually get around to posting some images of the house ive just designed from myself...
one day

Very interested to see what you've done. Is it something you've worked on yourself or based on a design from within your company. I recall you're working for an architectural design company of some sort, or am I wrong?

heres a evil roo i encountered the other week 

image not archived: evil%20roo%20sm.jpg

here is some of mine  some really cool stuff in this thread, i rike.






image not archived: moltenzet6wc4.jpg

dj dred, cool.

You got a tablet or are you sketching then scanning and colouring in on PC, or something else?

yeah, all my design

and yeah, work for an architectural firm.

do you eat roo?

nah this restaurant in Scotland sells it, with live ones hopping outside in a pen, which is beyond grim, so I was wondering if you eat it in Australia?

yeah we definitely eat it. need to be careful not to cook it too much cos it can dry out easily. i had it at this one place and it was much softer and tender than any other roo i had eaten - i thought it must have been the way it was prepared - i asked the chef what the secret was and at first he wasnt going to tell me as i may get upset. i said i didnt care cos it was the best roo i had eaten, turns out it was baby kangaroo... mmm been back there a few times since, love it.

I think we're one of the only countries that eats it's national emblems! Hahaha. 

I don't think I could do it im too much of a softie now

I'm not a fan of roo to be honest, it's too meaty! 

i'm dead keen on a koala burger the day someone gets around to making one!

Bilby Burger FTW 

nawww poor little joey!

fixed

and emu is also not so bad - 100% of the national emblem - where youre lion and unicorn brits?

i had possum ala cheong lieuw at the hilton a couple of years ago. tasted like a cross between lamb and chicken
nice!

Bloody oath we eat Roo. It's one of the healthiest meats of any land animal you can eat. When cooked properly it is very tasty!

Yeh they look too cute to eat. Same with rabbit, just couldn't do it i'm afraid. Big girl alert.

You obviously don't have as many wild rabbits as we have here. One of my favourite pastimes is running the buggers over.

A photo from my recent trip to Mt. Buller. Was taken from a small path/road/something. Looking towards another mountain. I had to do some pretty extensive shopping on this because my camera puts out a bit of noise. Sorry if it's a bit big also.

Cheers.

I love the last one there near the falls. Always been a fan of the long shutter speed water shots. I just need a camera which can do them now.

I'll post some more later then. :D

Sooo spewin, we took some really cool pics of the Googlehymen museum in Bilbao but lost all of the pics through stupidity.

:rofl:

google has a hymen?

yea google it and see

Googleheimer's    
   
The condition where you think of something you want to Google, but by the time you get to your computer, you have forgotten what it was. Very prevalent in the 420 community.

???

you mean the googin'time museum?

Natho I can't be bothered posting a whole bunch of photos so just take a look here if you want more long exposure goodness:

Tassie photos (http://photoden.net/oliver/v/Holidays/Tasmania2008/).

There are some longer exposures in the Friendly Beaches album, Honeymoon Bay, Russell and Horseshoe Falls albums. Enjoy. :D

Sweet. I'll check them out when I'm at uni tomorrow.

does anyone have any pics of their mum? would be pretty keen to check them out :yup:

I'll see what I can do.

I'll second that. How's about a swap, Timmy?

The only ones I've got of my old lady have James M in them as well.

Always thought it was rude of him asking me to photograph them together but the prick had this annoying way of making me say yes no matter what.

Fuking admin stikes again hey

Well to be fair the thread could just get out of control if everyone posts cool pictures/photos/etc. that they see online. I'm not stopping you from starting a thread to do that, just wanted to keep this one for AM'ers who do their own things.

Here's another shot of mine from KI, down at Remarkable Rocks this time:

at very least i did take that pic my self

Fair call. My bad.

Flave posted photos he took of graffiti down below, I don't see the difference between that and catastrophic's post really...

Another awesome shot Oli.


I've only got my digital Canon, and I aint got your skills, but I've tried to take some good shots on my travels - they're on Facebook, so you'll have to go to the links. Here's a few...

Need to login to see those. I had a facebook account under fake name/email address but I deleted the email address cause I was getting too much spam.

And thanks.

Here's a few pics from the G1 drifts back in Movember...

Sweet! thanks for the thread redirection lads!!

Im updating my folio online ~ here are a couple of things Ive done

for anyone who gives a fuck
and for who ever it was who orginally asked way back when

i just posted some plans, elevations and couple of rough block 3d images of the houses ive designed in the 'Housing Market' thread in soapbox.

sorry there's no colour or much in the way of details...

Those plans were well average.

here's some pics i took walking into work this morning

Don't know if I post this here .. but anyway I do a lot of things on Photoshop (CS3) so here are some photos that I have fixed up

Went from this:



To this:





Then this:



To this:





Can't find the original of this one .. but I added the sun and clouds and brightened the picture up.



Also learning how to do colourisation, tried it out with this pic .. a few of the faces are too bright though still but working on it.

From this:



To this:



Also working on animations and animated avis .. here is an animation:



And lastly I make tons of icons .. here are some from Lost:

This is better IMO:

Well hello!

Needs more colouring and better blending :P

Thanks for the tuts I get a lot off of LiveJournal.

The concept is good though, no?

A for effort

friendly tip:

The newly added sun is in the wrong direction compared with the shadows on the tree.

Would be the night of his life, no doubt.

heres some stuff i did at condor car park...
http://www.ololo.info/adventures/condor-tower-carpark/
Need to finish with some blue BG and some reeds and bubbles (underwater theme)




but happy at the outcome, the pain of laborious stencil cutting paid off!
Big ups Hi8tus...hes finishing some tidy pieces down there too....

Interesting mix of stuff there jay019. Good work.

Yeh nice 1 man...good work!

love this

Dunno if anyone here knew, but my AM avatar, and the other pic are both made by myself.

i give a crap... think its just me and u on this thread man!!

check these too

starting to get back into my photography again now:

analogue!:popn:
just picked up some film developing fluid for the first time in years, and have decided im going to splash out and get a photographic enlarger soon. also want to upgrade my slide projector to a kodak carousel (if anyone has a working one not getting used )

and then still eyeing off a fat digital SLR too



an expensive pursuit, but probably no worse than DJing

Reckon my parents do hey, they have a cuntload of slides from the late 60s/early 70s too

If you've got family with box loads of old slides and you want them digitised for archival quality images (scanned images equate to about 22 mega pixels) then let me know. I have a professional level film scanner sitting here and I offer this service as a part of my business.

If you've got sets of images and want them scanned to DVD or USB drive or whatever I can probably do a good deal for you guys. I can provide either uncompressed TIFFs (they end up being 40 to 60MB each) or high quality JPGs (12 to 15MB each).

I have scanned dozens of trays for family friends and everyone's been happy with the results, as well as thousands of images from my own family's collection. It's great fun going back and looking at all these old photos on a computer. Makes them so much more accessible.

just found this thread

burnt through some serious ink today so i thought i'd share:

Sweet. Dude you should get into stencils, simplified versions of that stuff with more contrast would look awesome as stencil art I reckon.

After being in and seeing lots of street art stuff in Berlin it made me realise how boring walls/flat surfaces are in Adelaide. Needs more stencil art IMO.

thanks man yeah i have done a bit of aerosol stuff but not for a little while... i agree adelaide does need a street art injection though. Berlin street art rules hey. If we had the population/urban density of melbourne i reckon adelaide would have a sick street art scene, lots of talent around - the general urban layout in the cbd is kind of counterproductive for street art though unless you are just dropping tags and stickers.

Yeah, true... Oh well, we'll just stick to being the biggest retirement village in the world.

sweet link man.

I love using Ideas and photoshop methods to incorporate into my own artworks.

thats really cool man well done

Hahah not for my parents it doesn't, they still very much live in the same world as the slides they have.  Although they do have a digital camera now, they are in no way closer to understanding a computer.

Well get them scanned so you can look at them easily.

just bought myself a s/h black and white photo enlarger!
$100! lol

will be able to set up my own dark room again soon!

Damn desh, thats some seriously cool drawings you got there. Wicked stuff man.

Damn ive been busy since my last post. lol. Just got back from Sydney where I visited the north circuit at Oran Park for one of the last drift days before its closed down :'( ah well, least I got to see it before it was turned into some crappy housing estate.

Heres a few photos i've taken lately...

Bubbles!!!!!!
(The first one is my son trying to pop bubbles with his tongue. I dont understand either, but hey, if he is happy then I am happy too. lol)
            

Graffitti
Ok, I didnt paint these, I just took photos of them to turn them into HDR pics
            

Trip To Sydney
Not proper photos, just happy snaps as I was constantly keeping an eye on my luggage. lol. sus much? :P
            

Aeromaplane.
You would think it was the first time I'd ever flown the amount of photos I took. lol. I just kept seeing interesting stuff.
            

desh that shit is off the chain!  love it

Funny you should say that, I spoke to them on the weekend and they are actually looking into it.  It was something they were chatting to a friend about.  I hadn't even mentioned the idea to them and their slides had been forgotten for years.  What a coinkidink!

Let me know if you want some help there. I offer scanning services as a part of my business and have high end gear to do that.

Check this evil shit out!!

WOW
