motion study

[doxx]

this is the first pic of a motion series I did on the NYC subway
view the series here: http://www.urbansnitch.com/forums/motion_subway

exposure was around two seconds on ISO 100 film

Oh, I like this one a lot! Wicked composition, and beautifully exposed.

I've been wondering what you've been shooting lately, Doxx....so glad you shared this one. Nice work!

 

[doxx]

hehe, I upgraded to medium format :twisted:
a real nice Rolleiflex TLR - unfortunately I didn't
have as much time to shoot as I want to...

Very nice. Sweet actually. And Creepy.

How did you get that ghost type of effect? Were these people moving around, or were they walking normally?

I thought people were no longer allowed to take pictures on a NYC subway?

This image may be how he found that out!

Yeah, Doxx, don't think I didn't notice that casual: "ISO 100 film" reference.... I am very happy! I'm betting you're pretty smitten with that Rollei.... my husband's camera of choice the last couple of years.

Love the idea! Great execution as well.

Congrats on the Rollei!

I've been a little busy with the d70 to snap much with my yashica lately, but it always comes with me

they were entering the subway car normally, the ghost effect is created
by using a long exposure time (2 seconds)

I thought people were no longer allowed to take pictures on a NYC subway?

not true yet. They're talking about a ban but it's not in effect yet.
I'm going to photograph on the subway anyway... :twisted:

The waistlevel finder is way coooool and the big negatives are
amazing. I haven't touched my 35mm rangefinder since.
Also I'm still using my digital for assignments and 'quick' stuff.

do you scan the mf negs? or have them scanned?

cool shot- it's good to see you posting again, doxx

 

[doxx]

I scan them myself on a cheapo Epson Photo. They come out
pretty good.

 

[Osmer_Toby]

how many megs? does it take a long time? i'm very interested in doing this myself, someday, when i have the $$

 

[doxx]

@1200 dpi 40 MB guesstimated 2 minutes for the scan
@2400 dpi 160 MB guesstimated 3 minutes for the scan
on a G4 Mac with USB One

you can get the scanner for less than $200

jeez. i'm using a canoscan fs4000 with 35mm negs and it takes around 7 minutes per scan. 10 meg files at 1200 dpi. drives me nuts. i am, however, using a pc- do you think this makes a difference?

PC shouldn't make a difference. Even with USB 1.1 my minolta scanner does 2880 dpi in about 3 minutes or so.

Really neat shot!! Love it!! I agree very ghostly, very creepy.
