hello,
Ive stumbled apon youre impressive gallery and noticed the speed film you use...
isnt it difficult? very cool, but I wouldnt expect it, maybe I have so much to learn

Hi,
Well I don't shoot over 800 so often: mostly in the situations I know upfront the light would suck. All high speed BW films on the market are very good now, I don't think it is harder to use them than say a 400 ISO film if you know how to develop film already.

Great stuff man, I love it. The grain adds a lovely touch.

it came out awesome
i'm shopping for some Ilford Deltas 3200 to do something similar (at 12,500) as we speak

nice!
what the hell did you develop this film in?

Microphen stock, time extrapolated from Ilford datasheet (can't recall now but maybe 16 min), 5 inversions every 30 seconds. Didn't really expect it to come out that well too

i like the photo.. but you made me curious. does EI 10000 mean pushed to 10.000 iso ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
Yes, pushed to 10k give or take. There wasn't much light available that night.

Not that Im saying anything new, but great picture. I love the expressions of the crowd, and its so dramatic in the snow or rain or whatever that is.

Thanks, this shot is actually my own favorite too

This is also a great picture, the grainy black and white with lots of contrast make it look very iconic. There is a lot of energy and movement in the picture, with the snow falling and peoples breath; the guy in the centre... despite what you said about it being a sarcastic laugh, still seems optimistic to me. Anyway, very impressive shot.

Thanks for the insightful comment!
To great extent I like the shot for its emotion as well; it might be not very descriptive of the event, but I hope conveys the spirit of people who gathered on the square despite threats of violence and legal prosecution by officials and harsh weather.

Thank you! Belarus needs all support in can have. There will be better times, and neighbour help in tough period aids for their advent.

Hi! I'm here because I've seen your Daily deviation on the dA page.
I must say that I prefer this one, for the happiness it conveys. Sorry I couldn't see more of your deviations, slow connection. But best wishes for everything and keep it up!

Thanks for the comment, and for stopping by!

... And SORRY for misunderstanding the meaning of this photo. You should write something more in the description, the discovery that the subjects are the loser ones changes completely the perception of the image.

Hey, you don't have to apologize, it's my fault
I have to admit though that part of me wanted for people to discover that the situation is completely different from the obvious from first sight, so you fell a victim of that

Ach so!
Yes, it can be a good example of manipulation of meaning... Thanks for your answers!

again, very moving.
i LOVE your work!!

a truly great shot. I love the motion, and the emotion at once.

Thanks, I'm glad you see what I've seen in it

it can be misleading because people rarely look for the meaning behind the shot. the story it tells, the history behind it...
another beautiful and haunting image from the elections. gooodness man you deserve an assignment with AP. you are too good to be a freelancer you know?
cheers

Thanks Mal!
I think AP doesn't typically hire freelancers.. they also want it to be in color and on digital. And since I have daily job anyway, it makes no sese ruin a nice relaxing hobby by turning it into fulltime job

Beautiful... I don't know the occasion for celebrating, but their happiness still comes through.
It reminds me of a U2 video - "New Year's Day" I think.

Their candidate has lost presidential elections, which are thought to be rigged. What you see is actually a sarcastic laugh for one of the speakers joke.
As you see, photojournalism can be extremely misleading
