Thank you for your feedback, good observation. Here's another copy with some adjustment...

That looks better.

 

I hope the comment was taken in the good spirit it was meant. About a year ago a good friend of mine made the same point to me about my b&w film scans that were coming back from the lab with a faint colour cast to them. I had't noticed it until he pointed it out and then it was really obvious (and jarred considerably). It felt ironic converting a JPEG scan of a b&w negative into b&w in post but it made a huge difference to the overall image.

 

Sometimes you can't see what you can't see until somone points it out but that's all part of learning.

Israeli Air Force Independence Day flyby.  First, F15s with their tanker.  The windows on the tanker suggest that it carries more than fuel.

Unfortunately, I was loaned a 50/1.4. It's an amazing lens. I'd probably still rather use the 70 on the S, but on the SL, it's excellent. This was stopped down to f/1.6 for some reason...

One of the trends I've noticed in the millennial generation (based on the 'Transitions' project though this is not taken from that) is the shift of male sexuality away from being quite so polarised between gay and straight. It's not that more men are likely to self-identify as bi-sexual, more a trend towards not feeling the need to be quite so demonstrably 'straight'. The insecurity associated with ambiguity is disappearing. In its place is a more nuanced expression that allows for the boundaries to be a little blurred. Women have long been OK with this flirtation; it's always been something that was permissible, perhaps even encouraged. It was incredibly risky for men to do this.

 

The two guys in this image are entirely straight, yet in the context of a long night out in Brighton (which is known as the gay capital of the UK), after a lot of fun and in the early hours of the morning, and in response to a random photographer goading them a little, the new masculinity is able to express itself like this.

 

I think it's something to be applauded (the expression, not the photograph, which is sadly compromised).

The notion that it is all right for men to touch each other, to express their affection for one another physically, without "having to be gay" or other implication of their sexual orientation, seems to be finally emerging as normal human behavior again, after more than a century of suppression. The only thing I don't like about this photo is the titling, as though I should be shocked to see two men being affectionate without being interested in having sex with one another.

 

I do like the tension provided by the expression of the man on the left against the expressions of the men on the right. For me, the photo would have been better left untitled, without the implication of the words.

Yes you're right - I changed the title for this reason. I called it this because I was concerned that if other people who knew the subjects saw the image they would get the wrong idea and it might cause offence. I guess that's still my own hang ups coming through though.

A surrealistic photo - but a real one. It is a reflection in a table surface of stone. Wioth SL and 24/90. My title for it is "Aspects of Dr. Strangelove".

I do not see  'the new masculinity is able to express itself like this'  .. surely it's more a case of two men after a night on the tiles being goaded on by the photographer … as a dare … and it has little to do with 'new masculinity'. They were prompted and encouraged to act like this … it's a staged shot which says more about the photographer than the 'recovering from a night out' subjects.
