Bill Sullivan's NYC Subway Turnstile Pictures

reports, 1d 14h ago
reports, 1d 14h agoBill Sullivan developed a situation so that various subjects could be defined by the constraints of exactly the same mechanical apparatus. The scenario consisted of someone passing through a subway turnstile. At the moment that the subjects passed through the turnstile, unknown to them, he took their picture stationed at a distance of eleven feet. Bill stood there turning pages of a magazine observing subjects out of the corner of my eye, waiting for only the moment when they pushed the turnstile bar to release the shutter.
His images are fascinating and are inspiring. They encourage us to try something different and when we do it shows what can be achieved.

^kkart reports, 1d 50m ago
reports, 1d 50m agoFrom the Publishers of "What Digital Camera" and "Amateur Photographer", IPC Media today has announced a new online photography magazine, "Better Digital Photography" that people can read free and fully online, it is also interactive with embedding video tutorials from the magazine and mouse-over tips. Aimed at the entry and intermediate level photographer, it is heavily devoted to equipment and technique-focused photography content.
From the IPC Media website:
Publishing director Alex Robb says: “This is an exciting and innovative new venture for the photo portfolio. The editorial team have worked incredibly hard to create bespoke content, including technique videos and other interactive content. I am delighted that we have secured distribution to around two million photographers to ensure that as many people as possible benefit from the excellent tips and advice. Better Digital Photography is a further indication of how IPC continues to innovate in this competitive sector.”
Editor Mat Gallagher adds: “We wanted to create a product that helps the reader expand their knowledge, while being easy to use. It is thanks to the talents of art editor Steve Crabb that we have managed to produce such a visually stimulating and accessible magazine that surpasses anything else in the market place.”
My thoughts, this is downright awesome and VERY well done, it is like looking at an actual magazine, but the fact that it has videos embedded within for tips, tutorials, and techniques, make this even better! You can also subscribe for free, via email for upcoming issues, make personal notes within the magazine, and download a copy to your hard drive. GO GET IT!

Film, Still Viable?
~SonicME64
reports, March 12, 2007
reports, March 12, 2007In this increasingly digital age, film is now beginning to meet its match. We're seeing improved image sensors on ultra-high end professional camera rigs, and beginning to see quality on the scale of todays medium format and large format cameras. Not to mention the ease of use and convenience of digital. Does this sound the death knell for film photography as we know it?
After reading many articles on the subject and seeing various works in my time here on dA, I'm inclined to say that film photography has its place, and it's definitely here to stay for the foreseeable future. There are many areas of photography where digital is just not up to snuff with film images. Street photography for one, digital point-and-shoot cameras don't come close to delivering what a quality rangefinder can, and good luck trying to capture your close-in street scene with a bulky dSLR. While digital has taken over fashion photography, nature, and especially experimental photography I still see as bastions of film.
As a film photographer myself, albeit one with a limited budget, digital is not something I can afford in the short run, while it may have a lower "cost of ownership" in the long run. I definitely understand why people go digital, you don't have to screw around with film, you don't have to wait for developing or do it yourself, and you can take as many photos as you like, discarding the rest. However, the aforementioned things are what keep me coming back to film, not to mention the investment I've already made in film equipment.
For me, it's the thrill of clicking the shutter and knowing that you've taken a great picture, then waiting for the processed print or negative to confirm that feeling. It's knowing what film will give you the results you want, and what you can get away with before you exceed the limitations of your equipment or yourself. It's about seeing the picture, and taking it, never looking back.
I've gathered some samples of film photography from several participants in a thumbshare post I made specifically for this purpose. Hope you enjoy.

Your selections are good too. Film is a good starting point. Every mistake you make will cost you. So you strive to get better shots.

Getting the shit out takes ALOT of hard work.
You still end up with shit.
I'm not sure if you're counting nature as film or digital but I think most nature photographers tend to use DSLRs now. The option of changing ISO and the ability to go out in the field with a few 16gb cards can make all the difference.

I almost completely share your opinion and I would like to say that this report stimulated me to go back to using film, along with digital. I think we indeed start getting "careless" when we stay away from film for too long.
