Jo! These are fantastic! You're getting very good :D

I love the ones that you enlarged. The one of the legs is very nice, the stockings are interesting and only add to the composition. The one of her looking down is also very nice, you can see the emotion in it pretty well and the lighting is very nice in it. Keep it up! You only keep getting better and better :) Looking forward to see more great work from you

I also apologize that my scanner seems to have sort of cut them off a bit funny.

EDIT: Viv, thanks. And Mike, I'm thinking I may be doing more film photography than digital. Well, this summer will just be digital because I don't have a darkroom at my disposal but I enjoy film much more and I find it's a lot better of a self-teaching method because it's so much more precise. I posted a long thing in the film vs. digital thread about why. I find it funny that one of your first comments to me about my work was composition and the enlarged ones were a composition project. :P

Very good Jo. The only thing is the second picture's a bit blurry. Other than that, they are great.

Yeah, pinhole cameras are a bitch that way because if they even move slightly, you'll see it. :P

I think these are great! I have attempted to use a pin hole camera before... it didnt work at all, I am thinking of trying digital pin hole to see how that works out, but these are really good and i like the blur of the images i think it adds character to them

What is a... digital pinhole? That takes the point right out of pinhole photography. Pinhole cameras are basically just cameras you can make out of anything, no technology needed.

1971 Canon FTb and I was using a 50mm lens, Fujifilm 100 ISO/APA fine grain black and white film.

You take the lens of a DSLR and put black paper over the hole and make a pin hole, its the same concept but digitalised

Uh no. That's not the same concept even remotely. That's taking a camera and making the aperture freaking tiny and essentially doing nothing. Real pinhole cameras take timing and most just luck but I don't see the point of digital "pinhole". I mean, I guess it could work but really, that just takes the fun out of it.

These are great good job .Any body can be a good photographer witha fancy camera but it takes a truly good photographer to work with film.

Wow Jo, these are actually really good. I love these types of photos :P

I really can't give a review any more detailed than that because I honestly know jack-shit about photography :yeah:
