Post your Subminiature camera pics of restaurant menus and restaurant pics in general.

[eli griggs]

How 'bout we post pics of restaurant menus, and restaurant pics in general here, and any tales of feedback from owners, managers, etc, just for the fun of it.

Details like film type and processing will help some of us to see things we might want to try ourselves.

Cheers.

Really??? I think you are missing the current trend, double exposures.

And to make it REALLY ART make a lith print of it.

 

[eli griggs]

I like garnishes, so have fun and add in any gold tone Platinum or Cyan prints you want to share, the more the merrier.

I have the Minolta (1) and the Minolta II, one yellow filter OEM and a close-up too.

I think using colour contrast filters with B&W, will make for some interesting shots.

Cheers

Funny you mention double exposures. I've been touring Manhattan art galleries in recent weeks and I've seen a major trend in paintings that use overlays very much like double exposures. You called it.

Most likely the epitome of sub-miniature - a cel phone sensor.

 

[eli griggs]

No, digital cameras are no that different from professional quality, digital camera images, in the hands of most folks these days.

This is about film, and getting creative with 16mm and smaller and I hope you'll join in with your own work.

Cheers.

I was referring, of course, to the size of the "sensor".
And I made a one letter correction in the thread title - pedantics unite!

 

[eli griggs]

Matt, I was no criticizing you and did no even notice the typo.

God knows I make too many of my own, between all me and my uninvited spell check, however, my point was, even small cell, cell phone's digital qualities is as apples to celery when it comes to analog kit

Cheers

 

[MattKing]

There was actually some method to my cell phone reference madness.
The relatively tiny sensors in cel phones result in short focal length lenses and a lot of depth of field. And that results in a lot of cel phone photography having a typical sort of appearance that is very different than most photography with larger formats.
Many of those same factors appear in subminiature film photography - the restaurant plates of food will look different.

 

[eli griggs]

Good to know.

Cheers.

But I still do not see that the combo of subminiature cameras and menus and restaurants is straightforward, but see it rather as arbitrarily. We could come up with countless such combos. Unless you refer to rather clandestine photography.
I was most puzzled by the topic of this thread. Saw it as joke. Seemingly I am slow on the uptake again.

Please send me your favorite mammoth wet plate infrared shots of college football overtime plays taken with remote shutter releases while standing on your head. And do it quickly…it’s Championship Saturday!

I can see the connection between taking "pictures of the menus in restaurants and the food with a miniature camera", rather than a full size one, it's not as painful when the manager /owner takes offence and sticks your camera " where the sun don't shine"

 

[AgX]

Well, I see the menus already at the websites of the restaurants... And photographing menus did not even came up to my mind before. And with a big camera it is much harder to take undetectedly annoying photos than with those phones everyone else has in hand always.
But I got your point.

Really? That is what Yelp is for.

I hate to say it, but in this case Instagram is actually better.

its too bad people who aren't interested in this thread can't just ignore it without posting commentary..

One step removed from Instagram.

nothing wrong with instagram, there is some great photography there, whether it's of food and restaurants or other stuff.
and a lot of it is done using film negatives and glass plates and wet plate collodion, and salt prints and ...

What is a miniature camera in this context? As an 8x10 shooter, my idea of miniature might be different.
Glad to see jnantz actually post pictures.

Tri-X reversal 7266, D-19 5'30". Digitized in color by haphazard flatbed and DSLR, respectively.

Let's face it: any frame larger than Minox is just an excuse for poor printing

Also, I'm looking for 16mm color stock. If anyone has any leads on this stuff I'd be glad to follow it.
