Hi,

 

shot with a M6 plus 1:2/35 Summicron on Fuji Reala Ace 100. Uniform cloud overcast @ 3-4 pm, on the 18th of September near Asakusa temple in Tokio. Developed frame-by-frame and scanned @ 150dpi in a pro lab.

Please review some more pictures from Tokio and The New National Theatre Tokio here

 

Of interest : a rare Canadian 1:2/90 Summicron used in the Shinjuku station parade shots

 

Thank you

Piotr, welcome to the forum and thank you for posting such a colour-rich shot.

 

I am puzzled how you could develop a 35mm colour negative film 'frame by frame'. Always ready to learn something new.

Hello,

 

thank you for your kind words, I apologize for my vocabular mischap - the obvious meaning got lost in translation. By using the word "frame" I was referring to the process of developing film where the roll of film is attached to a frame and then the frame gets bathed in various corexes during subsequent stages of processing. This means that the film surface is relatively safe from mechanical abrasion and the negative is developed in stages, which allows for tighter parameters.

Of course, the best way would be to drum process (hope this is the right term), but the lab I'm using doesn't have this.

 

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am truly humbled by this forum's users work. This is one of the rare places where one can really appreciate the fine art of the still image. Some amazingly talented people post here, and I hope to learn something from you....

 

After all, having inherited my Grandfather's Leitz lens collection obliges me to use them well. It amazes me to see how lens like, for example, the 1:2/90 Canadian Sumimcron or the 1:4/135 Telyt fit perfectly to my Leica M6 body, delivering the astounding quality on par with the newer 1:2/xx Summicrons. It proves that fine engineering, like art, is timeless

 

I'm sorry to offend, but I love colour, especially primary colours. I was thinking of going B&W to refine my composition skills, but I simply cannot resist the richness and dimension that a few layers of gelatin based transcript provide. This is, IMHO, the real difference between analog film and digital CCD; the CCD images seem a bit too two-dimensional to me. I may be fooling myself, but I'm not ready for the M8 yet.

 

Really glad to be on this new forum, although I have published some of my shots on the old Leica forum. Once again, thank you and please bear in mind that English is only my second language.

Lovely shot...like the color scheme....not too sure about the "white area" on the reflection..this is where its important to keep snapping and to "visualize" the results you thinking of..like asking yourself... now what got me interested in this? Etc

 

Thanks for sharing

 

Regards, Leicamann
