>Alvin Langdon Coburn recalled that the Vortographs he created in January 1917, including this one, were the “first purely abstract photographs.”
>Of the tool used to create these images, Coburn wrote in his autobiography, “The instrument is composed of three mirrors fastened together in the form of a triangle, and resembling to a certain extent the Kaleidoscope—and I think many of us can remember the delight we experienced with this scientific toy. The mirrors acted as a prism splitting the image formed by the lens into segments.”
>The poet Ezra Pound, who had introduced Coburn to the short-lived London-based Vorticism movement, wrote, “The tool called vortoscope was invented late in 1916. Mr. Coburn had long desired to bring cubism or vorticism into photography. Only with the invention of a suitable instrument was this possible.”

any anon's do pet photography? I'm just starting to shift into it from doing wildlife and I'm struggling with learning how to work with artificial light and smaller spaces, I invested in a speedlight which has been a huge boon.

Thread Question: What did you get away with?

Here's one I got of a bird. My first thread here so I plan to dump a few of various subjects. Haven't done any editing on these so they aren't quite what they could be, but let me know what you think.

Shameless edition.
Last thread: >>4457780

Been digging around online trying to figure out how to get that K64 look (big, punchy, saturated, picrel), but found basically nothing. Everyone either goes for K25 or just completely misses the saturation.

Not trying to do a perfect emulation or anything, I just want those insane saturated skin tones and deep blues, but every time I try, the edit falls apart. Feels like Lr/Ps just can’t push it far enough, like the digital files don’t have the room. Which makes no sense, since I’ve got a gallery full of scanned film that pulls it off.

Anyone here actually manage to get close? Or is it just a lost cause with digital?

Anyway, dumping a few Shorpy rips.

>The theory of photography can be learned in an hour and the elements of practising it in a day... What cannot be learned is the sense of light, an artistic feeling for the effects of varying luminosity and combinations of it, the application of this or that effect to the features which confront the artist in you. What can be learned even less is the moral grasp of the subject — that instant understanding which puts you in touch with the model, helps you to sum him up, guides you to his habits, his ideas and his character and enables you to produce, not an indifferent reproduction, a matter of routine or accident such as any laboratory assistant could achieve, but a really convincing and sympathetic likeness, an intimate portrait.
Was Nadar right? Could you really learn the basics of photography in an hour? And the rest of it is just artistic talent?
