Thank you Robert and Dario for looking and for your nice comments

 

Robert, my impression after 1 year of M9 and 2 years of M8 is that the pictures with the M8 seem easier for me, I have little failures compared to the M9.

the M8 have something I can not say :)

The M9 is a camera that I can not yet tame

 

...

 

Henry I have the same experience as you and I thought the same thus I sold my M8 soon after my purchase of the M9 and now, oh wonder, the only thing I am missing is the (slightly) better b/w performance of the m8. And sometimes it's good to have a beast, provides some challenges over the time ;)

Henry,

 

I love fish markets (anything that has to do with fishing is a weak point, actually). These are wonderful images as they convey the special character of these markets. Istanbul has lots of interesting fish markets. These reminded me of them.....another time....another place. Thank you for these.

Dario in my case, I do not sell and I do not regret for not having sold the M8 because it is a great camera

Thanks for your answer

Fish is rich in meat (proteins) and minerals

I recommend you if you like to change the meat

Thanks Ece for looking and for your nice comments

 

I always loved the port atmosphere and yours picts are iodine smelling... You did a good report of this place, just missing the sardine that stopped the port :p

 

Merci Jean-Claude pour le commentaire

I have studied medicine at Marseille and the city has changed except the fish market which remain

Thanks Martin for your comments

Glad to read you again :)

 

 

 

Tri, you have missed to visit Marseille the last time you came in France

because there is a large community of Asians including Vietnamese

and it is a beautiful city :)

 

 

Robert thank you for commenting

What do you think?

You can see the welknown Madonna of the city called "Notre Dame de la Garde" which dominates the hill and overlooking the city and the " Old Port " (" Vieux Port "in french) !

traditional fishing is disappearing and despite this , this gray-haired fisherman continues to fish as in the old times ... at line

.... on the plate, it says : "100% wild" and "line caught" :)

and he has all sold before the others... here these customers in full bargaining

and the girl at left waiting for his father to finish bargaining

 

Thanks Vo,Peter and Reimar for your nice comments :)

glad you like it..... it's typical of the Provence region !

Thank you Yvonne for looking and for your nice comments

As you see i also still use film (like for your "riviera beach" photo)

Thanks Heinz for watching !

 

Here another film picture with new Kodak Portra 400

These squid are so fresh that I bought 2 kg : fry in a little olive oil with fresh celery vegetable is excellent ! :)

notice the color of squid of Kodak Portra 400 : very close to reality

Doc,

These are oh so delicious shots! And, I love fish, anything out of the sea is good, and that's my weakness, I can't resist :D (I don't eat meat otherwise).

First, the "Old Port" which takes place the fish market .

The honor goes to M9 ...

Doc your post(s) are going on strong, Congratulations, in fact the subject (port activities/people) is a good one.

My favorite is the last one.

not only for the subject

but may be I am openning a pandora box if I tell that R lenses give better rendering than M due to the fact of larger lenses on the same focal basis.

will see what users say.

Wow, Henry...these three (and all the others) are amazing. I will order some Portra 160 and 400 after the first of the month. Might even order the R8 I have been looking at for a couple of weeks!:p

 

It really is difficult to tell which image is made with which camera to my eyes but the last one is my favorite.

Hi Doc, I really enjoyed your 'slice of life' pictures. I am allso very impressed that you are still shooting film, and that you are doing it so well! On my screen it looks better than the digital images....not that they are bad in any way....I saw the documentary on how the movie 'the american' was made and the director, I forget his name now, but he was/is a famous rock n roll photographer, was still using a R with film....
