Poppies soon....

I am always in open test to improve the rendering of what I want to scan with my films because I intend to keep shooting with film,

along with my 2 digital M9 and M8

Also, I just bought a glass for improving scanned photos

 

Here's a first shot and I'd like to share with you and need your advice

I also posted here:

... spring is coming soon and the poppies are blooming :)

PS: the glass "ANR""that improves the scan of the photo is available here (sold in the United States):

henri -

Quite lovely, and your watermark is nicely subtle.

Thank you Stuart for your nice comment

I don't like "big"watermark but "subtle" as you said

....another poppy in macro and in b&w

the glass is useful to flatten the film and gives an optimal contrast and sharpness to the picture, without Newton rings

 

Your opinion ?

Henry, I love it. Beautiful color, composition, and selective sharpness. Keep on shooting with film. I just bought a second-hand M7 and cannot wait to use it.

Tri:)

Thank you Tri for looking and comment.

It's a good idea to return to the film with M7 :) You'll love!

For Stuart and for Tri , this photo taken in contre-jour , with the sun in front, without underexposure, very difficult to take with M8 or M9.

Only the film arrives

Henry, A great series. I agree with you about using film cameras. I have been using my M6 with success when I have the time to get out and I love it.

Paul

 

Paul thank you for watching photos

Yes, with my film camera, I spend more time choosing the right place, the right direction, to take the picture. I do not often do with my digital M

You are right to keep your M6 :)

 

Henry,

These are lovely. Sure sign of Spring! We have golden poppies (California State flower) showing up everywhere, and your shots remind me to grab my camera before it's too late.

Ece

 

Ece thank you for the comment

Here the poppies will soon bloom in the beginning of May

I like this flower because of its beautiful red color

Tomorrow is the day, Henry. I already have the films ready. I am so looking forward to not having to deal with blown highlights! Such a wonderful series you are sharing.

 

Thank you,

Henry, you are killing me with these!! Each image is more gorgeous than the one before. I have to try my hand with the new Portra (just ordered a few rolls today) and our golden poppies. I hope I'll have some images to share soon.

R8 Macro Elmar 35-70mm Fuji film Reala

 

I like finally poppies alone or by 2 or 3

I find them more attractive !

 

Personally I find the colors more faithful with the film

Your opinion ?

The leaves and the centre of the blossom are very well reproduced in terms of colour, light contrast and sharpness - simply perfect. I'd prefered to have the backgroud some darker with more contrast. However all colours and contrast can be subject to postprocessing with the PC. So for me there is no more the question if film or digital photography is better. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Karl , thank you again for your opinion

By correcting the background (as you said) less green , here's what I get on LR

I also corrected a little red color for it approximates the color that I saw

(ie a little less red in a previous picture).

What do you think?

 

For the film vs. digital, I want to say that red seems to me more natural with film

Thank you Ingrid for your nice picture ... :)

 

so I'm not alone in loving the Red Poppy

 

In fact, I never get tired of looking at the poppies because there is not one that is identical to another and then the color red is virtually inimitable and it fascinates me

In addition to the green in the background, it's really beautiful

 

This last picture is offered to Ingrid
