We'll move to a new server (our very own too) soon - patience :)

here are some from last night -

i met Louis Pepe who co-directed 'Lost in La Mancha', a film about Terry Gilliam's struggle to finish his film La Mancha in Madrid ! Amazing presentation and great footage. Thats guy's bio alone is unbelievable !
He and the other director shot the entire docu-film on one Sony PD150 and edited it all on Final Cut Pro (another reason to have a Mac ...hehehe ;) )

Amazing guys , very talented - also very helpful too and patient with our questions which were more about funding and film distribution and rather than software related lol. I left very inspired !

They had some funny stories about Gilliam and what was like working with him, trailing him on loc. I'll def see it when it comes out here at the end of this month.

Based on the footage , i felt they were able to capture Gilliam's passion for what he does. Shame the investors turned their backs on him.

yeah initially Gilliam (the director of the movie) had asked them to trail him and shoot a docu about the making of it and perhaps adding it to the DVD later on (like they did with his film 12 Monkeys). There was also a TV network interested in showing the docu at the time

but while they were filming his project on location, it started falling apart - and then the investors pulled out.. Gilliam found himself without actors and money but the guys kept filming and this is the result. Its painful to watch at times !

a

I can get into the "painfull to watch"-thing, it isn't nice when they pull out the financial plug. I would like to see the docu.

back to picture exchange

just a small selection- took like 180 pictures, and yes my dearest FK'teers, digital this time :)-



sven

Some great shots on this page. Nice lighting technique on that last one there snuifkip. Looks great.

Here's a really good photo site if you guys want to check it out: http://www3.photosig.com

You can upload photos and get some really helpful critiques by a lot of great photographers. Great place for inspiration too.

thnx 4 the link mr Calpo. great resource !

well ... "lightning technique" is a big word, it was in a cloths shop here in antwerp where there was this huge advertising panel without front, so only the flickering lights were on & visible - but indeed, it give's a warm "glow" on her face ...

btw Aria, Gilliam is great- now he's an artist- !
Frank, .. got more shots from that location ? love to see more ...


sven

hey fellas,

here is the whole picture, i compressed it a lot cause it was to big otherwise and it already takes a while to load the site..

http://sgd.shacknet.nu/flashkit/whole_picture.jpg

AND JUST BOUGHT A WACOM to edit pictures... i'm very happy :D

that's a crazy site, I uploaded my sunset photo and got 30 critiques in about 5 mins! The turnove rate there is huge though, and I imagine that once your photo slips off the front page (as mine probably has by now, 20 mins later) it's gone! Most of the crtiques are simple one liners and I honestly think feedback is better and more personal here :)

here's some new pics. finally got my but into gear.

did the same with my MyMarilyn print ( the b/w girl posted somewhere overhere also)

got some nice critiques -- but that site is sooooo slow- even slower as FK at the slowest //

anyway-
Mr KungFu_Chook ... give us background information about the posted ones -- those electricity-thingies are nice-strong diagonals [did once almost the same in Kreta, (Creta ?) ], and what about that sea picture ? --
tell us please ;)

sven

Ok, yeah that would help huh, sorry.

1. Sea spray - Took this b4 xmas at Coogee Beach in Sydney, its the edge of the baths at the end of the beach.....have always loved spray shots.

2. Power pole/lines - took this and the alley shot(3) yesterday as i actually had my camera with me at work and took it with me at lunchtime and spotted all those wires when crossing the road and thought "that's just crazy", so many wires on 1 pole.

3. Alley - took this yesterday as well. Changed it to BW as it worked better. Had to add contrast as it was such a bright day. Isn't it funny how the backs of shops are more interesting than the fronts.

4-7. These were taken just after the Sea spray shot at a hotel in the city. The second shot, the one looking down, annoyed me as i did't realise that my socks and tshirt were reflecting in the window!

The last ones (6&7) are the same pic, the colur being the whole shot. Just liked the windows. This is inside the hotel. It's the old Post Office in Sydney. Due to heritage listings they have to keep the original exteriors and facades of the buildings, then they usually build a tower block above it.

Hey Snuifkip, love the first shot of Jenna (looking down) looks like something off an album cover. Also all those Bali? shots are brilliant, i love bw photos. I'll have to dig out some of my travel pics, everything is packed away as i'm moving soon.

Also the Brighton Pier sinage rocks Aversion, you just look at it and it ssays carnival, especially with that deteriated look.

Anyway this is turning into an essay, so better go and do some real work.

Chook

damn kungfu_chook now that is a reply, hehe you almost told your whole diary..

great job m8

Mr. Chook those are very sweet :). Sometimes I really wish I lived in the big city.

thanks guys..........i actually live out in the suburbs, but i suppose its not that far out, although am surrounded by bush and national parks. Am moving to Randwick soon which is right in close to the city, actually it's the suburb next to Coogee (pic 1) so closer to the beach HOOOORAAAY! :)

sorry was kinda busy with school and some project with photoshop..

but here is a picture from a dad's friend that I found really pretty.
It was taken out of a helicopter and it is near afghanistan...
His dad works for an oil company and that is why he was over there.

http://sgd.shacknet.nu/flashkit/sea.jpg

here is the original !!!beware is big!!! http://gallery.woven.nl/lothar/DSC00049?full=1

as you can see I had to play with the contrast cause it was kinda flat..

Nice Pic F-2000. My family is really into the oil buiness, and my grandpa has a house just off the Gulf of Mexico. He also has four jet-skies, so during the summer I meet up with all my cousins and spend a month at his house. All we do is jet-ski and fish. My favorite thing is to take a jet-ski ride at sunset all by myself. There are all kinds of things to take pictures of, big oil-platforms, off-shore boats, and my personal favorite are these shrimp boats with thousands of seaguls flying all around them. I took a roll of B&W and I am still playing with the negetives in my spare time. I have not made any prints yet.

Guess I'll throw up some new ones...

Took this early in the morning at Morro Bay, CA.

This one was on a pier looking down at an old boat.

Big_k wow is that the US or did I just insulted you in a big way because it is CANADA...??


I really wanna go to both of the countries some time.. I'm still in school (college) but when I finish this **** I really want to go there.
I keep on hearing cool story's about the US and also about CANADA...

yes, its the US, iowa is pretty much right in the middle... where nothings happening:)

I'm in the land where the most Americans wanna go to, THE NETHERLANDS..

I went to our harbor to take some shots and this one is really amazing..

http://sgd.shacknet.nu/flashkit/rijn2.jpg

Didn't want to make it smaller cause all the detail would be lost

Is this the end of the picture exchange thread?????

common guys post again!!!!
show us your pics!

great shot f-2000...

i'm debating wether or not i should go to this abandoned house to take some pics today.... i dont really feel like falling though the floor or falling in the 10 foot wide hole in the kitchen, but theres an old piano in there that would make for some great pics i'm sure...


hmmm, should i stay or should i go now?

ok, i decided to go to the house... i got a few good pics but alot of em turned out blurry cause i couldnt hold the camera still (it was cold)
anyways, heres some good ones and some other shots..
