new cam coming new cam coming new cam coming.. hee hee can't wait til the weekend when it comes... new cam coming. dslr finally saved my pennies. Olympus e300 coming my way with extra lens and batt grip..

BW's a Big Genre.. BW scenery cloudy macro people bugs animals Bw film or just desaturated colour.
maybe BW should have to be straight from the camera as BW? no sepias or mono tone variations.
Any dead line.. and how many would you like?
cheers glad it's still going.

Originally posted by Tirau DanCongratulations on the new camera. I kinda want a digital SLR too, but it's a bit too expensive to get one as a secondary camera. Especially since I kinda want to have a medium format camera too. It all depends on how things evolve in the next few months. I'm moving in january to a place where I can finally set up a decent darkroom. If that works out and I end up spending enough time there, I'll probably go for the medium format camera. If it doesn't and my darkroom starts collecting dust, I'll probably go digital. But the most likely option is that I'll discover I don't have money for either of those cameras, since I'm buying the house we're moving to.

Anyway, considering the B&W round. I suggest we keep it is open as possible and just accept any picture without colour. I don't know about sepia or other tones (I'd suggest only B&W, but I wouldn't mind toned images), but i think it's not feasible to only accept images that are desaturated or that are taken on B&W film (which would exclude any digital entries).
Best regards,
David

I don't plan to buy a digital camera (or any other camera) any time soon, but I really need to get my zoom lens repaired. 😕 It has been broken for a while now and I haven't done anything about it, so I only have my two wideangle lenses (20mm and 28mm), and I don't even know where the 28mm lens is... It's also raining almost all the time. No aurora. 🙁
It sounds like people are ready for the Black and White round, so I don't think we need to wait three weeks. If people can send their entries until next Friday (October 28), I should be able to get them up during the weekend. If anyone needs more time, please let me know. Send up to three entries to rhpphotocomp@gmail.com .

Originally posted by NordlysOh yes, lenses. Beside the extra cameras I want, I want some additional lenses too. I've been looking around for a 50mm prime lens, since the only lenses I have right now are el cheapo zoom lenses. They're not too bad, but I'd like a nice prime lens. And a good macro lens. Is that 20mm lens the one that you got thanks to the fundraising in that aurora photography forum you once told us about? That's quite a gift!

October 28th sounds good to me. I wasn't in favor of a break anyway, and I'm also glad to see this still going on. I'll be sending in some pictures this weekend.

I think the next lens I buy may be a good macro lens. I often miss that.

Originally posted by NordlysNice. I'd be interested in seeing your self picture.
YAY!!! I got my film back today!!! 🙂😀😏😵🙄 It was sent from Germany ten days ago (normally it takes about three days). And it must have taken even longer from Norway to Germany. Anyway, I am verrry glad it's not lost! 🙂
Just because I think its a really nice pic, here is my very dodgy non entry into the self round...

Originally posted by RagnorakI will post it if it's presentable. So far I have only looked at the film by holding it against the light, and it's hard to tell that way how well the pictures have turned out. It will take some time until I am done with the cutting, framing and scanning.
Nice. I'd be interested in seeing your self picture.
I'd also be interested in seeing DdV's self pictures.

Here are my self pictures, but only because you asked. They're quite cliché. I really liked Tirau Dan's frame experiments that he put on Flickr. I'm sure he would have finished first if the self round had continued.

I agree, Tirau's framed self series was excellent. They would have had my winning vote for sure in the series round. That would be a fantastic interpretion of displaying movement through still pics, within the typical frame which is always used with purely still pics. Brilliant. Individually, they're also great.
You're also becoming a bit of a photoshop wiz. Some of your pics are very nice, I especially liked: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tirau_dan/53965094/

I hadn't been at flickr yet, so I wasn't even aware that Dan had put up some self pictures (if he said he had pictures for the Self round, I must have missed it). 😳 Very nice. I think the first one is my favourite. I like the hand, too.
