Share an analogue self portret

[cliveh]

The word is portraits.

Thanks benjiboy, I wandered what they were talking about, but didn't like to point it out.

Actually, I'm thinking 'portret' is the Dutch spelling (and TheToadMen is in the Netherlands).





(Good grief, my 2000th post!)

I've seen that from other Dutch contributors as well. Surely it's not that hard to understand what they mean...

It is Dutch, indeed. It is pronounced exactly the same, it was late at night so I didn't notice the error at the time

And congratulations on your anniversary!!!

Can we please have posts in English? I don't think many APUG members speak Dutch.

Sadly some of my best "me and the model" shots are all on digital, can't I post one or two pretty please?

Let me put it this way: if you project the digitals on a wall, make shot of it with an analogue camera, develop & print the negative, scan the print, then: yes.
Otherwise: nope!!

I do not speak Duch, but portrait in Slovenian is spelled portret as well (as is in Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian,...)

So we have an East European preference for this word. Do we know the country % make-up of APUG members?

Portret=portrait is not too difficult to figure out!

BTW, that is not me in my avatar.

Hopefuly no preference at all Clive.

Miha, well said and I understand your meaning, but I am just making a point about a forum that is primarily in English. It is not a question of bias against East Europeans, but I think most APUG members would not understand a post in one of those languages.

Don't forget Danish and Swedish, both are very similar...

If we are going in that direction: do we know the country % make-up of countries still producing B&W film?

BTW: "film" in Dutch is: "film" and "roll film" in Dutch is: "rolfilm".
So - when in Holland - you don't have to speak Dutch ordering a decent roll film in a decent photography store (but finding the store itself .......)

OK, can someone give a country breakdown of the 64,796 members of APUG?

Let's forget all the language barriers and simply post photographs. Photography is an universal language!!

Anyone has got a analogue self portrait to show?? You're welcome!!

Portret
Portrait

You don't exactly have to be a genius to figure that one out.

Let's move on with the pictures, shall we?!

Some people look like their on line persona.

That's how I chose my avatar.

Chiao!

 

[Dennis S]

Was wondering what the camera looked like with the shutter opened from the other side. Success to a point. Sorry... early morning adventure. Same as my avatar but this one is larger

 

[winger]

This one is from almost 9 years ago. It was actually done as a test shot, but I never got around to doing the "real" one. I wanted a shot of all of my cameras, with one of them taking the picture. There were 3 or 4 missing from the shot and I've added almost 10 since then, I think.

Bethe:

The Graflex SLR looks like it is just about to devour the little 35mm SLR (Pentax?) in front of it.

Amen to that.

You're beautiful

Also, that graflex SLR is almost as big as you! Lol

Thank you, Stone! I can't believe my great-grandfather hauled that old Graflex around. That thing is heavy!
Matt - The little SLR in front of it is a Pentax ZX-5. I gave it to my ex when we split up and I think he passed it to his sister (which is fine with me, hope she uses it). I still have all the others in the shot plus a few. Maybe it's time for a new SP before I move.
The one on the tripod is the one that took the picture, btw. I shot into a mirror, if you haven't figured that out.
