Iduna Posted September 12, 2014 Share #9 Posted September 12, 2014 Henry, both a re lovely and very creative shots. This is what I like: the perfect focus in the color version. The dainty texture of the petals is well handled. Color is also good. The b&w is showing an impression and movement in a very creatice way. Very good work, Henry. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thanks Iduna for your nice comment ! As I said above , this is "film" that gives this general rendering that can not have digital. It seems that Leica will release a M-A , A for analog, at Photokina Cologne ! I took poppies with my 2 digital M but : -the color is not as true with the film -the edges are too sharp and too smooth, contrary to what we see in reality Best Henry Edited September 12, 2014 by Doc Henry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iduna Posted September 12, 2014 Share #12 Posted September 12, 2014 Henry, the film emulsion is giving a cinematic effect smooth but sharp whih can hardly be imitated by processing digital files. Only with much skill you can achieve an approach. Keep going with your photography on this field. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only with much skill you can achieve an approach. Keep going with your photography on this field. Iduna, I said in another thread I'm not a fan of the corrections of my digital images (M8 and M9) because I am not competent (medical yes). Furthermore visual memory is very "fleeting" that is what we see, is very difficult to reproduce in his memory (the visual center is located behind the brain).We remember what is remarkable, as the pink color of the bus , the rest is vague Please look at the post 1273 of this thread : http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/other/286747-i-like-film-open-thread-64.html Thanks for your comment Best Henry Edited September 14, 2014 by Doc Henry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted September 14, 2014 Share #14 Posted September 14, 2014 Henry, thanks for the link. Ifollowed your hint and what you are saying is convincing. Every image has its own look and so does every photographer has his own visualisation and style. The presence of film is different there is no doubt. Keep going, it makes your photos unique. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Hi Iduna, there is also the "real" side of the flower that I did not mention above. A petal edge is never "cut with a scalpel" as this photo with my M9 and ApoSummicron Asph 90, compared with the flower of the first post. Nature is remarkable for the sweetness of what it offers us, never "smooth edge" like on the picture ! look at a poppy in nature and you'll see ! but people do not notice it unfortunately ! I think this is a "distorted" view of this flower that the M9 and all digital cameras reproduce. That's the fidelity of an image which I speak I love this flower and every year I photograph poppies without getting bored and I'm not talking about the color, that's another problem !
