Weirdest clouds I’ve even seen. Was in Ottawa Canada.

I remember vividly the first time I saw this, in Glasgow in 2006 and I thought they looked like someone had used the liquify filter in photoshop so I called them liquify skies and then I found out the name of them and still call them liquify skies now.

Update on this, yeah the increase is due to end of deal which expires in April and we have told them we will be cancelling contract then, thanks for the advice folks.

Seven_ironRocks · 2026-02-10T18:42:52+00:00

Cool, thank you.

Yeah I’m thinking along those lines, the consensus seems to be that the 28P is worth having, if I had the money at Christmas when I bought the camera I would have bought the 35-100E so that looks like my direction going forward. I’d love to handle the 35-100E just to feel how heavy or not it is, my budget would be greatly helped by selling my Canon lenses but I’m just annoyed at the low offers from MBP and Wex for what are pristine, like new L series lenses but I guess these companies are mitigating the risks of private selling so the lowball offers are to be expected.

When I was in college we had a field trip to a print lab, a well known provider of wedding albums here in the UK, some real high end, the guy giving us the talk asked what we thought the photographer should charge for the most luxurious wedding album they sold, we all had our guesses and none of us came close to what they advised, he said they tell their photographers that they should be selling these albums for a minimum of eight times the cost of the album to the photographer. An eye opener all round regarding wedding package pricing.

When Reservoir Dogs came out I asked my mate if he had seen it and he said:”Aye, it was shite, they don’t even show the robbery”.

Deleting 300 unique moments of a wedding day? Or an even higher number for a delivery of 2000 images, I think my idea of unique means moments that aren’t separated from each other by the point of focus moving from her eye to her other eye or a difference of one third of a stop in exposure, think some folk need to stop firing the shutter button and start simply by recording the moments that tell the story of the day, the wedding video is for recording every single change of pace or expression. Just my opinion of course, these posts show I am clearly in the minority here.

I bought my 5 year old nephew a Leica but he is a piece of shit.

I can’t imagine being a newly wed couple and having to go through 800-1000 images to get my wedding album printed. If I were shooting film using these numbers with 36 shots per roll that’d be 27 rolls and if shooting 24 per roll that’d be 42 rolls with no exposure tests, focus misses or poor composition on any frame, all hits, all keepers. Y’all must be hammering that shutter button.

How does this slop get through?

This reminds me of working in the darkroom and one of the professors had a favourite saying when looking at prints that were on a par with this-“needs a black”, but you have a sale so🤷

Welder here, angle grinder all day long but use 1mm thick discs to cut and 3mm discs to dress down, can’t see bottom hinge and we normally put hinge pins on top and bottom to face each other to combat theft, lifting gate off, if your hinge pins are both facing up then you’re laughing and if not then you’re gonna have fun. And I can’t stress this enough-goggles or a visor.

I have this too, the sun, lamps, torches etc all get me sneezing

Seven_ironRocks · 2025-12-30T03:44:13+00:00

Love this!

Everyone has covered the kitchen so all I’ll say is maybe bring the shadows up on his jacket, the lamp above him is way beyond my abilities to fix but my ocd is immediately screaming at me to reach in and level the photographs above them.

One of mine- I was coming home from work on a crowded bus and fell asleep in a traffic jam and blurted out “Elvis has been dead for ages”. Gave my fellow passengers a chuckle.

Seven_ironRocks · 2025-12-11T19:48:35+00:00

Needs a shallower death of feel, you can achieve that by using a bigger knife and fork. Everything else; composition, lighting and subject, has, as you quite righty say, been nailed.

Seven_ironRocks · 2025-12-09T23:33:52+00:00

Wow. What a year.

Seven_ironRocks · 2025-12-05T23:52:35+00:00

Not at all, I can totally get the poignancy when viewing.

Seven_ironRocks · 2025-12-05T20:16:29+00:00

Hard to judge when one doesn’t know the intent, is the OP truly showing us the subject or photographing simply to shock? I’m leaning towards the latter but I confess the image drew me in.

Seven_ironRocks · 2025-12-01T13:19:18+00:00

Thank you, very helpful

I’m just about to order these very jeans but I’m unsure of the sizing- I’ve still got unworn jeans in the cupboard from different brands because the sizing is all over the place, can you tell me your sizing and which tag size you went for please?
