Ballad on the quays...(in film)

.... of Seine river at Paris

 

A "romantic" ballad in november with a Leica M7 and Ilford HP5 film

(my M8 and M9 remained in my Billingham bag)

 

... the romantic "bateau mouche" and the welknown "Notre Dame de Paris" cathedral

 

Ilford film gives a "nice grain" on "stone" of the cathedral (nice grey scale)

... and the opportunities to shoot with nice perspectives, like this photo "under" welknown bridges of Paris

 

"N" like "Napoléon" bridge also called "Saint Michel" bridge (1857) in the heart of the "Quartier Latin" , student area

great memories for me

I can't easily define civilization, but I know it when I see it - and Paris is it.

I understand what you mean

Yes I love Paris and its parisian inimitable atmosphere

I think you have also some great memories there , isn't ?

Merci Michael

Regards and Amitiés

... another picture with film for Michael

 

I brought my 2 digital M (as back up), but finally I did not use them, because I prefer to photograph , in the manner of H-C Bresson

(but not for my photos that are not comparable with hers) !

 

Nostalgia , nostalgia you hold us

"Under the bridges..." ("Sous les ponts de Paris")

Like Kodak TX400, Ilford HP5 is also a great film !

Fine structure of bridge stone well reproduced in fine grain and "soft" lines !

Great set! I certainly have great memories there through several visits with my husband and daughter. My favorite is the way the city looks around this time of year.

Ece,thank you for your passage

Yes Paris is still Paris (like NYC) and few people do not regret to go and visit this city

Personally there are still neighborhoods that I have not seen !

Wonderful series, Henry, particularly those in your first post. Love the tonality. How do you print these (if and when you do)?

Adam, I develop on photographic silver paper (not inkjet) the selected photos

and I enlarged with my Focomat in 13x18 or 30x40 cms, as in the good old times.

Some photos are framed by a large margin and hanging in my office or living room

Thanks for looking and for your kind comment.

A strong series with a great sense of atmosphere and of the winter light about it, the grain and tonal range of HP5 adds to the overall effect and makes good use film's characteristics, which have a controlled drama about them, without the extremes of Tri-X

You are right Robert, Ilford HP5 sets a more sentimental tone than the TX400 , perhaps more subtle with a romantic side that goes perfectly with this winter atmosphere.Film grain also contribute to this perception

it starts to fall some drops of rain

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[pauledell]

Henry,

 

I have never had the pleasure of seeing Paris first hand, but your series certainly must display it in a wonderful way.
