It is like I've been here before - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Manic panicked, so it seems I'm here back again.
I went to my homeland. It is a small town in Kazakhstan where I haven't been for 8 or 9 years. Not sure they missed me so much

Here are some random shots. I still don't know what can I do here except taking pictures, listening to Svarte Greiner and a kind of working out in a random gym.

Their new mosque.

It says: "Household stuff repairing" or something like that. And don't even ask why there are these minaret things.

It's... uhm... When I was child I hated this train very much.

Behind our food market.

I suppose it is a bull.

This word, "Tokta" means "Stop" in kazakh language.

Local friend portrait.

Wait, this looks better.

Nice shots. Thanks for coming back. These are superb.

Not really relevant, but still:

Also intriguing to see that you can embed a link from a flickr page into the photo, 'cause every time I try to wrap a [URL] onto an [IMG], it whacks out harshly. How'd you do it; does it involve trackbacks or, did you turn off the "automatically embed media" box?

Thank you )

It is very easy actually. The code should be like this: [URL="your page url"][img]your image url[/ img][/ url]

dlish · 07-13-2009, 12:38 PM

the mosques there are built vastly different than here in the mid east.

Good to see you back, Nettuno,

I'm still jealous of your colors - 1,2, and 3 especially. The train shots just feel like home.

Nice work. You'll have to send me some film recommendations (again.)

Thank you. It was a Kodak Portra VC 160 as I remember and my favorite very yellow photo filter. Yes, it is very yellow (4x, I suppose) and very old so I can see the world as it could be like 30 years ago

I also tried new Kodak film — Ektar. It is amazing!

The childhood rocket train seems like such a fun thing!

fiatguy85 · 07-13-2009, 08:48 PM

These are excellent shots! Very good use of the light.

nettuno · 07-14-2009, 10:05 AM
