I gave the midi keyboard to Boy in Shanghai. The Bairn was a bit miffed, and I'm starting to get itchy fingers, too. I spoke to Boy just now, and he suggested something like this. You could plug it into the laptop and do all kinds of midi-magic, but it will also be playable free-standing, so it's not a production to spend ten minutes practicing...
Pools of water surrounded by trees on an overcast late winter afternoon: reflections of the trees, dark, contrast in the reflection from the water with the light grey
q luminous sky. You'd want the contrast nice and sharp. Subject on the far side of the water, cut off at waist but full reflection. Could maybe pull it off at dawn, any time of year.
First, find your pond.
I've bid for a roll of this, actually by mistake, (with drink taken). Nil desperandum. I googled here, and it'll go fine in the Holga.
...Said the owner of the wee Italian place in Chelsea I went to tonight, when I was paying for my sandwich, after he asked if I'd be watching the match. I said he couldn't blame me for Capello, he'd walked. "He didn't walk. I know Fabio, he used to to be a customer here. He never walked away from anything. He was sacked."
And then he said, "You want an English manager. But who? Who?"
I noticed that the meter on the F was a bit wobbly... There's a couple of screws missing. It'll be easy enough to sort when I know what size they are, so I'm trying to find out here. I like the F, but I'm thinking of trading it in and getting an F5. You can get them for less than 300 quid, which is ridiculously cheap for the camera that was THE pro model until digital came on the scene. I was using the FED2 during a trip to Russia, and realised how much I like it - perfect for Sunny-16ing it, and a rangefinder's easier to focus, especially in decent light. And the meter on the F is a bit eccentric... The thing is, I need one Really Good Camera - something that's always going to get the shot - and it's shaping up to be an F5.
I've got six or more rolls of this, and apparently it's a pound a roll at Poundland. I'm going to have a go at developing it in ID11, as per this.
