Kev Byrne 1971's photostream
|
Happy.
Still alive.
Getting back into FILM...
This is what I use for over 95% of the shots in this here stream of mine (since 2009 I'd say):
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. I use a Raynox macroscopic lens Model M-250 and the Pentax SMC F/2.0 lens (inverted) for my macros!! Hand held in front of the TZ5 at full zoom...
Then I have some more simple toys:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 (need to use it more though...)
Pentax K1000, 50mm Pentax SMC F/2.0 , and SMC 50mm F/1,7 (unbelievable camera and lenses!)
Pentax Me Super (Takumar-A zoom 28-80mm F/3.5)
Ricoh KR10 Super
Kalimar KX7000 (Kalimar 50mm F/1.8)
I haven't got and don't know how to use Photoshop, but I'm pretty tasty with Lightroom 2.0

"questo fotografo, che non conosco personalmente, ha avuto la capacità di farmi riscoprire la mia città attraverso i suoi occhi. La città che lui presenta ed è capace di fermare nelle sue immagini, la mia città, è quella tante volte sognata, fantasticata o forse solo appena qualche volta intravvista nella rielaborazione della fantasia. Un cumulo di nuvole, un riflesso nell'acqua una geometria trascurata perchè ritenuta troppo rigida per poter essere apprezzata o anche solo osservata. Kev Byrne, invece, ha pazienza, osserva il mondo intorno a se e decide cosa cogliere e come catturare e finisce sempre per proporre all'attenzione immagini ricche di grande fascino e valore. il fascino della sintesi grafica ed il valore del colore naturale. la sua rielaborazione è solo mentale, il risultato stimolante. grazie."

"I'm here on a prediction. Which I'm just about to make come true! My records show Kev became one of my flickr friends in January, 2009... we did the usual thing, posting pix and commenting politely, and then one day Kev took a liking to one of my pix and singlehandedly drummed up over 100 comments in a few days. I was damned impressed! And started to pay more attention to my benefactor's photostream. I was immediately thrust into a bifurcated world of superbly seen archi shots, dripping with colour and cast in composition, and a magically emotional world of black & white portraits of his two beautiful -- and photogenic -- children. It was entertaining and instructional. Suddenly I found myself looking at rooftops. But that was just the start. It didn't take long before he organized his first group -- I Leica You Like You Leica Me -- which has grown to be one of the best collections of artsy, non-cliche pix on flickr, and more recently with Flair and Square, another fun group with fantastic photos. Lately Kev has gone full explorer mode into the land of macro, but basically, regardless of what theme or genre attracts his attention, what he sees is unique, full of thought, life, and his wonderfully animated personality. Little wonder his shots have received local recognition in his home town of Taranto, Italy, where he's won three competitions (at last count)!
When the prints dry, Kev's been a great inspiration to me, and a great flickr friend... I invite you to enjoy his terrific collection of photographs."30th March, 2011

"Kevin is an amazing photographer and has a truly unique style. I am often left speechless with the way he captures life and always look forward to his new uploads. He is a master of light and uses it in a way I have never seen before. From exceptional segments to amazing angles, from dreamy reflections to jaw dropping scenery, it's all there. It is an honour to call him a good friend and contact. So stop reading this and check out his photostream!"
