i learnt about 'Contre-Jour Lighting; when I joined the South Essex Camera Club age 16 in about 1952 ! There were some famous FRPS's there who befriended me ! When I joined the British ARMY ( RAMC) in 1955 My Mum and Dad had to collect my Prizes at the Annual Exhibition as i was in GERMANY ! When in UK I use to organise Army leave to co-incide with the Fortnightly Camera Club meetings !!

Mate I bust my back in my 20s laying concrete blocks in a shitty old Dewsbury cellar, from time to time ever since I knock the bugger up. I found a chiropractor who's played blinker with it now in my late 50s the back doing sound, you have my best wishes to yours right. Back pain is so debilitating no fun at all. Right onto the video what an Incredible selection of photographs hard to pick a winner they're all stunners, but the shot of the footy shirts on line across the terrace backs is pure genius, reminds me of the 70s back in Cas' on wash day, just a very atmospheric and historic image love it. All round cracking episode Martin hope you're back out at it asap. Regards Paul

That's terrible Martin! I slipped a disc in my neck in the spring and it was so bad I had trouble swallowing. I went to the emergency room here in the United States where they gave me prednisone steroids to knock down the inflammation so that things go back where they're supposed to. My disc was slipped 4mm on the MRI. On the fifth day of steroids and pain medication, along with exercises, it mostly went back and the nerve un-pinched. I also have a home traction device from ComfortTrac that made a world of difference. I continue to use it 3-4 times a week and the arthritis in my neck it doing much better. I hope for your complete recovery. I had noted the absence of new content and I'm grateful you are on the mend and not worse off. Cheers.

I hope you get well soon, Martin. We don't mend as well as we did when we were younger. I saw a little post on Insta today, it read " you can get a prime minister a lot quicker these days than an appointment with a GP." Fifteen years ago, the samething happened to me on a day when I was out taking photographs. I bent down to pick up my camera bag, heard something click in my back and the most god awful pain I had ever experienced followed. God knows how I got myself to the car and home. I remember that I was soaked thorugh with sweat from the pain. The pain is still there, and the back has never been the same, even though I spend two years of physio and back clinic and all that. So make sure you get it sorted. Thanks for posting Martin.

Looking forward to the resurrection of the box camera, I just resurrected mine, it's a 1904 model. Sticky shutter as well, I was able to free mine up with a very light application of sewing machine oil. As for your back, I've had problems in the past, PT helps quite a bit for my lower back and I have an orthopedic surgeon who has been a godsend. Worst case is surgery, but even that isn't bad, I had a fusion done for my neck years ago and my only regret is not having it done sooner. All the best and looking forward to your recovery and upcoming content.

I'm only in my 20s, but I've had the exact same sciatic pain you're describing.

Sorry to hear that you have had some physical problems and that it has limited you getting out to do some shooting. A question about the exposures into the light: how best to meter? Would an incident meter be better? I have done some shooting into a light source but the results have not been that good. I get flare that I don't want on the side of the image. Is there a way to reduce that kind of flare? I do use a lens hood. Thanks.

@martinhensonphotography Жыл бұрын

I think the reflected metering will give the best effect but you might have to consider the intensity of the light and judge the amount of extra if any exposure compensation, to reduce flare shoot in the way I have said in the video , thanks
