Let's talk Vintage with Rose Atkinson

I'm excited to welcome Rose to Camversation, as she is joining to share a real passion and something which I know a great many of us really enjoy, or would really LIKE to try!

From Rose:

Daddy made me a toy camera when I was three and photography has always been a part of my life. Over the years I’ve dabbled in many genres, but I most enjoy using my camera creatively. In recent years I have become an ICM specialist and gained my ARPS with a panel of ICM images. However, discovering vintage lenses has also been a game changer and I love the way they enable me to see the world. In this presentation I will take you on a journey to explore this wonderful (and sometimes weird!) world and show you how for very little money, you can create new images with old lenses that have real character and personality.

About the talk (general outline):

• Introducing me, my photography, and how I got into vintage camera lenses

• Things to consider about vintage lenses

• Why should we consider using them?

• Where to buy them, including a live look at some eBay listings

• Things to check when buying

• Introduction to my vintage lens collection

• A selection of images showing the characteristics of my different lenses

• A live look at some other people’s images on Flickr

• Introducing non-camera lenses

• Things to consider about vintage projector lenses

• Why use projector lenses?

• How to adapt projector lenses, including a live demo

• A selection of images showing the characteristics of my different projector lenses

• Some inspirational images from two photographers using projector lenses

• Summary and a final video

This talk will be recorded and made available for four weeks after the event.
