Shot with M7 with Tele-Elmar 90 on Velvia 50 film. temperature was -7°C.

 

Sunset the day of winter equinox at belgian coast (De Haan aan Zee / close to Oostende).

 

I did a print on A2 Permajet Portrait 300 paper with my Epson 3880.

 

The printed result is very nice.

 

Like Jean-Michel Folon's painting.

"LeicaBraz": I can not do painting... :)

 

It was the first tim I was trying a Velvia 50 in my M7.

 

I also had the M9 but it was not working anymore in the cold (blocked trying to save DNG non compressed files. The only way to reset was remove battery).

 

I'm very happy to have discovered that film and the sky at sunset that particular day was "pictural". That's all!

 

My preferred practice of photography is not "paysage"...

 

You can look at that work, for example:

 

Film "Na Wewe" - Photos de plateau - Philippe Vandendriessche

 

I think with that experience with Velvia 50 I learned it's possible to do nice color work with film. Usually, there is only TX400 or HP5 B&W films in that M7...

Philippe,

Thanks your comments. This was not intended at you - it is a nice photograph though must

confess that the colors dont have much of an appeal to me (just my taste, nothing else). Noise is large too. I assume some heavy post-processing?

But I have often seen this "praise" (looks like a painting - reminds me of a Rembrandt) in the forum and really don't see the connection.

Regards

No problem "LeicaBraz", and thank you for the clarification.

:)

 

I did the scan with my Epson 4990 flat scanner but I don't know all the tricks to do the scan at his best. The noise of the picture is probably generated by some wrong choices/settings.

I plan to ask a professional to scan the film again with the good equipment and the result will certainly be much better.

 

That picture gains to be printed A2 or larger and in that case the scan have to be perfect!

 

Thanks for your interest!

 

Philippe.

I think that's a great topic for the Barnack's Bar forum . . . "what should a photograph look like?" . . .
