I rarely ever post on the photo forums as I know nothing about the technical skill to produce the photos.

I am a point and click man.

However, I have to say, I am in love with the first picture. I would hang that on my wall it's magnificent.

You are much too kind - and I'm sure my Wife appreciates it too

RE: abbreviation - TLA = Three Letter Accronym so FLA is Four Letter Accronym (as in your use of NSFW) - which is itself a TLA

interesting theme... I quite like the first one and again first one in the second post (phone)...

I do wish the girl in the first one was closer to the phone booth.. She kind of blends in the background.

yes i wish we exercised this all in focus or maybe as you say, was crowded that day(leicester sq.) & difficult standing & await for zero people in foto/background ~ the link was between card in booth and standing there (simulation) ...

It's O.K. Hiker - I used my Wife's


RE - "Cross Processing" it's a reference back to the Film Processing Days and a way of developing one type of film as if it was a differnet one to achieve a certain processing effect - for some brief info see here :-

youve gone back and edited that fourth one now? Before the road had a more purple hue and the box as dark green. I can now see that the box was in fact green but it looks like your white balance is off as the road still looks purplish.

cross processing was when one type of film was developed with chemicals for another type of film. it gave weird colour casts to images in a kind of random fashion. It is often mimiced in photoshop. I thought that was what you had originally done

many thanks to you, its cool to know many things regarding process etc

i did not edit No4 no, its how it was when first post(you can see my edit time/date), just placed original (link above) for this unusual green booth, ha .. will consider experiment this cross process(in PS) though .. it appears interesting, oh & my white balance is always haywire, will learn eventually/hopefully
