Max in the Beaver Street house
He must’ve been four or five. He NEVER lets me take pictures of him any more.
Sprocket Hole Photography
I invented this. It sounds rude, and no one will believe it, but I did. Modern sprocket hole photos are usually shot with a Holga, but I use a Ciroflex and a Mamiya. I have instructions for making the adapters in my Flickr stream.
bad photo retouched
My friend is selling his 1958 Rene Herse randonneur bicycle (Google it), and the only picture he had was taken inside his garage with his cell phone. Not a lot to work with, but I did figure out a super-fast way to eliminate garage-door handles.
He did go ahead and take better pictures, if you’re interested in the bike. The bike is sold – a reader of my blog bought it.
Curves and Masks to bring out detail
All the shadow detail in this image was blocked up (see below). I still liked it, but messing with the curves showed that there was a lot of detail captured – another figure, signage and roll-up door texture.
psychic: Sony Nex + Zeiss Biotar 58/2.0 (effectively 85mm).
