Running short of time so cannot dwell on this subject but it is down to personal taste really, I do like his photos but cannot understand why he has to manipulate his photos, it is not just tweaking them, he distorts them to his liking, he is never happy with the results, I have been to Venice and St Petersburg and you cannot fail to take a good photograph, why he changes the whole meaning is a mystery! Van Gogh made thousands of paintings and only sold one is also a mystery, he was never satisfied with his work either. Interesting though.
Not a great photographer imo but he certainly took a lot of photos, he spent most of his time manipulating them in his photoshop. I know he used Nikon F’s and a Linhof 5×4 on many of his early works perhaps he switched to digital later. Interesting photos all the same but if you shoot thousands of fools of film, you will eventually find a good one! 🧐

Worth noting,
A set of ‘Preloved’ Zeiss Super speeds will cost you £75.00 (That’s 5 lenses).
Arri Alexa camera well used will cost you between £5,000-£8,000 bare unit. Used by numorous crews and environments. No spares back up for the early models. Shelf life for an Alexa is 15-20 years (If you’ve lucky).
Lenses have a shelf life of 100 years. Makes you think, put your money in glass!
Roger,
I thought ARRI designed an optical VF specifically to your design and use, it was mentioned in a German film magazine some years ago. Not sure if you got your wish.
Roger,
Where was this location?
I am trying to visualise the working conditions to film these scenes, how difficult was this shoot assuming you chose the cold conditions to maximise the bleak effect.
Not sure what the poly tunnels were used for. Fascinating imo.
Thankyou Roger for your detailed reply, much appreciated.
Btw, the scene of the cinemas auditorium and the firework display actually took my breath away literally. Seeing nice images makes me emotional, not embarrassed to admit that. Very nice work imo.
Roger,
Ref the firework scene. Did the fireworks have a shorter fuse to explode above the cinema. Also how did you meter this scene. Assume there was no CG involved and everything was in cameras. Also how many takes did you do to get right.
Also the scene with Ron eating chips and miss Coleman stepping in to save the day, how many takes did that take. As always thankyou.
AlInterestingly,
the original Dreamland cinema had yellow tinted windows on some of the windows.probably to reduce sun glare. Just a comment that’s all. I used to holiday here in the late 1950’s, yes, I am that old.😂Max A,
Posting pictures was immediate for me, sometimes there was a hesitation but most times it was immediate. Can be very frustrating when it doesn’t go right.
