you don't like twilight and you have measles.

I feel as though I could have done better with some of these and welcome feedback. They are from the fall. Shot with a Mamiya 645AF, 1-5 on Ektar and 6-12 on Reala.

2.



3.



4.



5.



6.



7.



8.



9. (my lines are off, camera pointed up)



10.



11. (I had a painful cough for two weeks after playing in the body fridge)



12.

you said your lines were off in #9 but i actually like that angle. most of the pictures lack life (white walls, white stairs) there is just not enough happening. dont take it the wrong way, the pictures are okay as a photo perspective but it lacks the artistic touch.

3 and 6 are full of win, and I love the framing in 10, so many people have the same shot of those. 7 is kinda boring.

In general great set of a location I can't wait to see.

If I was really created in God’s image then when God was a boy he wanted to grow up to be a man, a good man, and when God was a man, a good man, he started telling the truth in order to get honest responses.

This.

Ektar is by far my fav C-41 film, but I hadn't seen many shots with Reala until now - will have to grab a couple of rolls and check it out!

#9 & #10 would be my favorites - like the composition of both of these.

Technically they're all excellent. I like them all except for 7, which just doesn't do it for me. 1-6 and 8+ though - awesome.

But really I love 6 and 12.

^^^ Ahahaha yea, I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe I DO need to shoot MF.

3 made me lol because of the composition. I don't know why, it's just funny to me. It lines up so ridiculously well.

5,8,9,11

There's not a lot to critique here. Maybe a little barrel distortion but everything is perfect. There are stronger shots and weaker ones but they're all well executed.

Maybe it's just me, or this shitty laptop i'm stuck on right now but it seems as if the first three frames are much brighter than you usually shoot. I think the high contrast in the first frame is probably what makes that stand out to me. Other than that small observation, tight shit as always.

This is just an awesome set- very well done.

I see they are on Flickr- I would love to have some or all of them added to my film group there.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

@monkeychunks: by "off" I mean that my camera was crooked and my verticals are converging. Just mentioned it since it is something I would jump to pointing out if I were critiquing someone else's photos and saw that.

@injekt and rob666: I agree that seven is boring. I know that there are a few really weak shots in this set but I included them so people can tear them apart.

@yokes, cryogenic, curly, desmet: film over digital, any day!

@felonious monk: the first two have blowouts that probably could have been avoided, the third was tough and I had to make that decision to get a somewhat even exposure

@seicer: they stabilized and abated most of the campus to make the buildings fit for reuse, but then ran out of funding

3 5 and 12 are my favorites. I know that's not constructive critique, but the composition is spot on in most. 9 is a bit funky, like you said, with the camera titled up - but it serves the subject well in that particular situation. the colors are great.


You make this place is gorgeous in the Fall. I'm sure it is. Laying in that body cooler was a trip. Nice shot from the inside

What a great set!

My favourites are definitely #5 and #11...

The colors are really something.
