I'm doing a series of Kalamazoo landmarks in black & white (Agfa APX 100)
with my Mamiya 645. I'll post all of them here if they turn out ok..
I'm also thinking of doing a before-n-after series, similar to this:

well...my B&W series of Kzoo, never really panned out.
But I was thinking of doing another series this summer, of googie
style (aka mid-century modern / space age / Tiki) architecture in
Michigan. Alot of these buildings are being demolished to make
room for more CVS's and Wal-Marts.
I was also thinking of doing a series on old themed motels - you
know the ones that have the flashy neon signs and advertise that
each room has air conditioning and a color TV.

I have a new series on Flickr. Feet At The Top.
find user ColleenM, select the set, and view it as a slide show.
Flicker keeps your most recent photos at the top of the queue, so order is
reverse of how you load them. check out the ordered set to see how I
storyboarded them.

thanks.
It originally was an hand/eye coordination exercise. I'm irritated at my
Canon A95 shutter response time. Sometimes it's more than 1 sec between
presshing the shutter release and getting the shot.
So I took my camera to Top Of The Park to practice fast draw shots. I learned
that it's a common problem with "cheap" cameras.
Got some fun shots though.

I hate that. One of the things I looked for when buying a digital
camera is a shutter delay short enough to not be noticeable. My Canon
Digital Rebel doesn't have any delay that I've been able to notice --
it feels as direct as my old mechanical SLR. The only exception is if
I'm in an automatic exposure mode and it's waiting for the flash to
charge.
On some cameras you can reduce the delay by autofocusing *before* you
trip the shutter, by pressing the shutter button halfway down.

Yep, was practicing that, too.

I find that very unnatural....and a source of poorly focused pictures if I
don't do it just right.

I do it all the time because, for me, it *prevents* poorly focused
pictures. By pre-focusing, I can see which focus zone the camera is
using and make sure it's focusing where I intend it to.
Even on my manual SLR, I would often use the spot meter to meter the
part of the scene I wanted to judge the exposure from, then recompose
the scene so it was framed the way I wanted. So this behavior sort of
came naturally to me when I switched to an autofocus digital camera.

My digital camera is ancient - it's LCD is essentially useless in daylight.
I can't use it for framing, or focusing, shots. I need to get a new one:
they have advanced marvelously (and come down in cost) since I got mine.

My digital camera is an SLR, so the LCD can't be used for framing up
shots. I use the optical viewfinder. It has a cross pattern of little
LEDs to show me where its current focus point is, though, as well as
some other annunciators.

Does anyone have any new 'series'/theme type photos?
On a few of themes include: clouds, shadows [and playing with light a bit]
and fences. And years ago, a few people commented that I'm rarely IN the
photos/albums that I have--so, often when I'm on vacation, if lighting
permits, I'll take a shadow portrait. I've used a number of different
backgrounds over the years.

Last summer I put a series on Flickr called Dancing Feet, or something like
that. All shot from the Summer Festival of people's feet. Watch for kjr's
feet, and other's feet.
