@weftyarn If you ever come to NYC,I'd be happy to take you on a NYC Subway photoshoot. Really great pictures.
Oh man, that would be so great!! I’ve never been to NY and will definitely let you know when it happens.
@weftyarn you'd love NY Subway (actually NYC!), some fantastic ops for some great street photography. Some I took last time there…

@pechelman thanks for the reply! Some great info. My head says get a newer one just to be on the safe side of future proofing. My bank account says otherwise!
Incredible shots, really really nice.

@Steve Not sure what you call it, but were you using film simulation settings?
. That’s a great question,as the pictures do look like old school analog film. I have a plug in for my software that allows my to access quite a lot of color and B&W films from different eras,which sometimes is overkill.

@Giles @Jett129 I don’t tend to have to do too much edit/filtering, With Fuji, at least with the x series cameras, use a different sensor than other manufacturers - normally a sensors pixels are uniformed but on the Fuji sensor they are random, so give more of an analogue result (at least that’s my understanding)

@Steve Awesome shots! Which boardwalk is that?

@Jett129 That would be my guess too. Seaside Heights would be my second guess.

Thanks @Jett129 !

@GardenState @Jett129 yep, it was Coney Island, 4th July about 10 years ago (The Hot Dog eating competition at Nathans was something else!!!)

@Steve @Bailey @Alex You guys really produced some outstanding images over the weekend. Many of them I would print and hang in my home!!
These three were a fun and thought provoking concept that I really enjoyed. I know you were being cheeky and coy, but it really started me thinking…
In the first photo with the clothes intentionally edited out, you eye starts to wander and you see glimpses of the beauty of the room. The hint of artwork hanging on the wall, the ceiling detail, and the little artistic sculptures along the wall in the recessed areas.
I want to see the clothes, but when you can’t your eye wanders.
In the second picture, the clothes are obscured once again and the eye wants to see the clothes but you start to look at the people, the computer screen, and the tiny corners of the clothing that is visible.
In both of these images, I as the viewer feel voyeuristic and I’m viewing something you want me to see, but not.
In the third picture, when everything is removed: the feeling is lost. The room is beautiful and you can see everything clearly but the mystery is gone.
I loved it conceptually and wonder if there is a name for this kind of photography/art.
When I played around with the concept yesterday for my WAYWT photos, I realized how hard a concept it is to execute. Showing the viewer what you as the artist are trying to show, but obscuring the details to make the viewer want more. It activates the imagination and makes the image fun.
None of this probably makes sense, but it’s definitely something I’m going to try playing with. I would love it if you guys want to chime in and give me some pointers.
