If any of you are in the NY area, there's
an art show going on now in Brooklyn, the BWAC show in Red
Hook. One of the artists has several Holga panoramic pieces on
display. They're quite good, she has a web site, http://www.susanbowenphoto.com,/ and I left
info on toycamera.com on her message pad. if you're in the
area, it's worth a look.

nice! she even got some in New
Orleans.
hmm.
wait...i knew that name
looked familiar. I was inspired by one of her times square
images try a 'panorama' in the first place. I guessed my way
through it as I didn't know she had a website and that's when
I decided to try it a slightly different way and I wanted
slightly different results. Thanks for posting that. I should
email her and thank her for the inspiration.

do you know these: http://www.saelon.com/panoramas/panoramas.html ? they are taken in the year 1999 - and I know another
photographer who did this kind of panos with 35 mm cameras,
but I cant find him now ... maybe later ... Andreas

I saw the saelon ones about a week or so
after I started posting my pano. Someone replied in one of my
threads on another forum with that link to tell me there was a
'different' way of doing it.
There's some good stuff there.

>where in Red Hook is the BWAC? I know
how to get to Red >Hook, but i'm not familiar with
it.
As you probably know, there's no subway that goes
intto Red Hook. So if you drive, go down Van Brunt Street all
the way to the end where there is the pier and the show is in
a large old warehouse. The bus goes that way too, there's a
big sign. The address is 499 Van Brint St. 718-596-2507.
Oh, and bring your camera, it's a great place to take
picures of Buttermilk Channel and lots of old
stuff.

These are great, I think there is a lot of
milage in the Holga pano, as i'm sure the upcoming
callaboration will reveal. Some of these remind of cubist
painting which I really love!
Can't wait to have a
crack at doing this on the weekend

These are really excellent. I wonder if she
doesn't improve the overlap areas with photoshop because they
are very evenly exposed with very little of the banding that
the overlap usually creates.
Doesn't matter to me
really as they really work well in this style. Just
curious.

Hello, all, this is weeks later, but maybe
you'll see this (just stumbled on these postings about my
work).
The pieces are about a third of a roll of film
and are made up of an unknown number of shots, I just crank
the roll a little and keep going. I usually shoot off of the
end of the roll so even if I was counting it would be hard to
know. Then I'll look at the whole roll and select an
interesting chunk. I try to keep the proportions about 1:6 or
1 to 7 max. Some are shorter if that is all that
works.
I started off printing in the darkroom using an
8x10 enlarger, but even that restricted the length too much.
Now I scan the negs and yes work in Photoshop. A lot of
dodging and burning type stuff goes on cuz yes the exposures
are far from even. And occasionally I cheat and cut out a
chunk or very rarely combine from multiple negatives (only did
that once with the New Orleans pictures... didn't have enough
good material). But my preference is to leave the content
mostly as is. I enjoy the chance element of the whole
process.
The BWAC show is up 2 more weekends; hope you
can make it.

My first roll with my Holga resulted in the
below photo. Removed the mask but didn't change the counter
window. Didn't realize until now that so many people did this
on purpose! I thought it was a fantastic effect and still do
(this was taken a year or two ago). Doing it deliberately... I
wonder if I could? Maybe then would be over-thinking it.
I got the grain and scratches when I scanned on an old
flatbed (too big for my enlarger) and had to make major
adjustments in curves. Really it all worked out so well. Like
I said, not sure I could plan it. Can't blame you for
photoshopping sometimes.
Nice work on all the links. Thanks for the
enlightenment.
