Probably not quite the full week because I was away, but I have:

Pherdinand - Heavy (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/4864/nito040_k.jpg) but beautifully balanced, and the real and the fake (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/4864/medium/nito073kr_k.jpg) attempting an unconventional manoevre.

Anaanda - Youth (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/500/Youth.JPG) and beauty.

Thafred - Donaukanal struktur (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/5456/medium/APX_Nokton_Donaukanal_Struktur_copy.jpg).

Edho - WTO no. 2 (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/6368/56.jpg).

Sputty - Beijing (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/500/000033_cc.jpg). Beautiful coloured homage to HCB?

RayPA - Fortress (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/500/v_crop0002_adj1a.jpg) - should be on the sleeve of a Jeff Mills record.

Haven't posted anything myself this week because although I've been busy with this (http://www.pbase.com/tom_77/deep) and that (http://www.pbase.com/tom_77/deep_colour) I can't post it here due to equipment choice... :rolleyes:

Hi,
That's my first participation in this thread. Selecting photos has been a real nightmare as there are too many excellent pictures this week. I decided to choose only one photo for each selected photographer (damn it Vladimer!!). And I selected only new photos (Gabriel, I already knew the one with the guy, I love it though).

Alex Krasotkin, Mom's night gown (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46785&limit=last7) Pic of the week
BudGreen, Seth on Porch (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46545&limit=last7)
Nico, 7 (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46708&limit=last7)
Nachkebia, indd456 (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46826&limit=last7) Vladimer, too many great shots this week; save some pictures for the next week!!
Avotius, Raconteur (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46638&limit=recent)
Formal, Young Boy (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46592&limit=last1)
Santino, At the cafe (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46615&limit=recent)
Andrew Sowerby, 101106i (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46554&limit=last7)
Mango, St Patrick's Day (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46627&limit=last7) I like it Mango, I like the way she looks at you ... at us.
Todd.Hanz, Shrimper moorings (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46694&limit=last7)

Thank you guys for the great job!

Finally! I got some time to post my picks. A tough week to narrow down, but in recognition of Friday the 13th, here are my 13 picks from last week:

Marc-A.'s Trinity (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46405) A brutal image.

Jon Graham's What's In Bloom (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46407) A beautiful splash of color.

HFAISTO's P4301872_RS (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46410) Like a dream

Nachkebia had a BUNCH of great uploads. This one stood out for me Image32 (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46517)

One from Sputty's Beijing series (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46488)

Iskra's Ramp-B_W (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46594) A beautiful b&w landscape.

Formal's Lady with hand over her eye (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46593&cpage=2#poststart)

anaanda's Breakfast (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46585) GREAT color!

gregg's Phone Numbers (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46504) Yes, it's OK for text to accompany an image! Here's an example where a little bit of information brings it home hard.

I'm still enjoying the GR-D street photos (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46471) series from pstevenin

Great work everyone! To everyone who posted to the gallery last week: Thanks for Sharing

thanks nico, iml!

I didnt have a chance to browse though all the photos but I really like Nachkebia's India serise, although im more then a little curious to why he seems to have a few foul feelings towards his ZI after his trip.

Nachkebia

10-16-2006, 23:14

Avotius

10-16-2006, 23:32

Thank you people!!!
Avotius : Thanks alot! fact is I love my ZI, in every way, but truth has to be said! ZI is not a hardcore workhouse! I think if I take it to my next trip it will be its last one, I mean it will be destroyed :)

damnation man, you really need to post an in depth thred about this in the ZI forum, or maybe I should go poking through your blog to see if there is any information about wha the heck you have done to that damn thing.

Nachkebia

10-16-2006, 23:39

Honestly I could not care less about how stardy my ZI is, plus to write about it? are you kidding me? :) harder part is to remmember everytime I compose image I need to compose it slightly left side because of paralax thingie, otherwise everything shifts on the right! is it normal?

ok
great shots, a lot of them
here are a few i selected:)

vagabond - looking up (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46870&limit=last14) - i like the expression of the guy on the left, priceless

gregg - mums (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46855&limit=last14) - just pretty.

nachkebia uploaded alot that i like, here's one of them (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46824&limit=last14)
and another one (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46646&limit=last14)

patrickjames - nudes (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46746&limit=last14) are not too often to see on RFF gallery, but this is a good one I like very much

todd hanz - shrimper mornings (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46694&limit=last14) good composition

thafred - summicron etc (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46613&limit=last14) - i guess it's obvious why

gabrielma - af-iv (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46603&limit=last14) - maybe i just like the model very much, but it's also gabriel's merit

budgreen - seth on porch (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46545&limit=last14) - very good composition, face, everything

sputty - the beijing series has alot of keepers, like this one (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46542&limit=last14)and the others that are already mentioned by ... others :)

and finally, a hip shot (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46462&limit=last14) of pstevenin - the "best face" award of the last week's RFF gallery.

This was an amazing week in the gallery. I am sensory overstimulated to some extent. I think tht the street shooting is really great this week. Nachkebia wowed me with every one of his shots, some already mentioned here. Kbg's self shadow was another sweet addition to the gallery. Sputty had many great documentary shots, also noted above. Formal had some great shots young boy was already mentioned.

This shot also caught my attention, a very nice still by gregg: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46856&limit=last14

You are all an inspiration. Keep clicking.

10-17-2006, 10:04

Being new, I wasn't sure if just anyone could pitch in here or not...but here goes, you can always delete the post if I'm out of line...

I've had more inspiration from the Gallery in the last few weeks than in years of reading expensive coffee table (sized) books. These ones really caught my eye and imagination - and it's the combination of both that I find so hard to come by in my own photography.

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46873&limit=last7
Birds of Steel - anaanda - simple and powerful - I'd frame it :)

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46773&limit=last7
Beijing - Sputty - excellent

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46708&limit=last7
7 - nico - a whole story here

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46695&limit=last7
Watching TV - Avotius - this is a great observation

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46616&limit=last7
TMAX3200 plus Steinheil 85mm/2 - raid - one of the best portraits I've ever seen

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46549&limit=last7
~ - sbug - quirky and interesting balance of expression, shadow and lightning - I really like it

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46545&limit=last7
Seth on Porch - BudGreen - just superb

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46517&limit=last7
Image32 - Nachkebia - the whole series has been fabulous but this is the one that stirred me the most artistically

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46525&limit=last7
Date - Pherdinand - so alive you can almost see the guy move - and wonder what his story is

:)

Thanks
David

Thanks to everybody who has looked and commented on my Beijing series. That's all there's going to be, as I only had five days there to shoot, and I've posted most of the stuff that I like. It was a fun project, though, and I hope to do something similar again soon.

Nachkebia - your India stuff is fantastic - inspiring, to say the least. Travel photography is not easy - getting past tourist clichees. I find that I don't generally photograph well in a place that I'm not familiar with - Beijing was a challenge for this reason - and I imagine that you must have faced similar challenges in India. It's tough not to go for the easy shots, but you have challenged yourself consistently, and the viewer too. Well done.

most of my Favs have already been posted but I would like to point out these few more:

Avoitus', the whole series had excellent contrast and subject:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46696

thafred's shot here is one that doesn't come along often and he was quick to notice: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46613

formal, these two really took a great eye:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46593

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=46592

add these to the talented pool of photogs listed in the above posts, great work!
