Dude rolling alone on the ground in public taking photos of a shell. I love it 🤣 SFLAB knows how to just go out and enjoy life.

[SloopJohnBeeRockabilly]

You are inspirational yourself mate. Anything thought provoking is an inspiration to me 👍📸

[victorcarmelo]

Fill the shell with sand and bung some wet newspaper to stop said sand running out. Makes it heavy. Lovely video, thanks.

One of my all-time favourite Photographs is the Cabbage Leaf (Leaves) by Edward Weston.

It is good to be inspired, Rog. Some nice simple photography there. I have a few shells, but don't dare taking them out for the price I paid for them. I loved the idea of you placing the shell in the middle of the road. I think that idea has a lot of potential. I alos think that some, if not most of Fininger's photos were done with a 4X5 Techinal camera and his use of movement to alter the perspective. Worth trying. Great to see you an dhappy Easter.

[philiphighe]

Those shots of the shell on the board walk were lovely - inspiration in themselves. Thank you

[linusfotograf]

Very cool idea! Using a shallow DoF makes the screen meld into the rest of the scene perfectly

[bondgabebond]

So many ideas for photography besides street photography. Thanks for sharing you and your shell.

[RicardoRMedina]

Andreas Feininger was a great photographer like yourself, thanks for my dose of inspiration!

[kenblair]

Wow ! what an Idea. I have a bag of shells, from a trip a few years ago . Just sat up a studio creation . Had to photograph on digital, (No film in any cameras), but is fun anyway. Sent a $ Thank you. Thanks. KB

[Halfpint]

I did this a while ago (on digital) with a glass ball. Even harder to get it to keep still even on a calm day. Great idea though and gets you out shooting and being creative.

[rdmckeever]

Fantastic fun. Always have some gum & gaffers' tape in the camera bag...

[mdanie]

blutack can be helpful when shooting light objects like this (obviously positioned out of sight).

[peterdclark]

Happy Easter! I enjoyed this context and was great to see you out and about with a shell in hand and a bottle of aspirin in the other for later! I stumbled across Feininger and that exact book you showed whilst poking about in a used book sale. I bought it for tuppence and it’s filled with a previous owners notes and comments in the margins…lovely stuff. Cheers~ Peter

[Pepsiphopia]

Oh I should try this. Been on a non inspiration depression recently. (wanting to shoot medium format but have no way to darkroom print medium format)

[GonzoTheRosarian]

His “selfie” photo appeared in the Time Life library of Photography which was an excellent series. This is how I learned photography. The “selfie” is iconic, I will never forget that shot. Your shots are great BTW!

[davidyearwood]

I love your energy. Any time u r in Barbados give me a hollo

[richardjames]

I have four of Andreas Feininger's books, The Manual of Advanced Photography, Basic Colour Photographer, Principles of Composition the the two volumes Darkroom Techniques. Well worth looking them up. White 'blue Tack', or white plasticine are good for securing light items, well it worked for me when photographing small pieces of charcoal, or artifacts for archaeology

[jonathanhotopf]

I’d recommend the BBC Master photographers interview on him on YouTube if you do a search. After seeing that I got one of his books.

[stefan_becker]

Great pictures! However I think large format cameras are perfect for this kind of pictures (more detail, less grain, perspective and sharpness control).
