Seconded. That ruin (looks like the old slains castle next to collieston but isn't) with the circular formation in the sky is affa bonnie. Also like the model stuff, nice location/props.

For aekido, some cracking photos there but would be nice knowing where they came from. A gig photo that I actually like in there and the Belmont street one captures dreich old aberdeen perfectly. I always thought that dip in the road would make a good picture.

My friend Jane is an awesome photographer. She's got to take photos in some pretty interesting places, was particularly surprised by the aircraft carrier... check them out on JANE STOCKDALE PHOTOGRAPHY

Got to follow her round the Hot Chip gig in the Forum when they were doing that tennent's mutual thing which was ace. Was picking her brain as to how she got such amazing pictures, I think some people just have a really amazing eye for composition. I suppose the more you do it the quicker you become at picking the picture out.

To be fair, she may have an excellent eye but the places she's taking photos lend themselves to a good picture already. That's what it's all about I suppose, getting in the right places and then getting the shot right. Like that hipster gig... it looks staged it's so ridiculously elaborate. Like an episode of skins or something. Ace stuff. Ta for posting.

sure getting in the right places helps but her pictures have great use of lighting too and composition. a whole lot of skill on show there and i'm very impressed.

plus she has a portrait of the hoff. automatic win.

Completely agree. Just meant that your average amateur snapper isn't gonna get the chance to hop into an RAF chopper or get into a gig in the Rio Favelas. It's all about building up your profile and getting contracts etc which she has obviously done so well done her. Her
work is brilliant and I didn't mean to detract from it, but I reckon your photos probably improve exponentially once you get the backing to send you to these places and let you concentrate fully on it.

Just wondering, does anybody still use film these days? I can imagine it's one of those things that people will start debating like the difference between software synths and hardware... I am totally into the comparitave difference between the two. I think the debate would have exactly the same merits to it.

I can imagine the main issue with classical photography and doing your own photos is that the cost is much higher, buying expensive film that gets used up, dark room, chemicals... but is there any benefit to creating photos in this way over the digital realm? My dad has recently retired and it was always his plan to take up photography again but go digital but he's also got all the stuff for doing it old school too.
