likalar Posted April 18, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted April 18, 2012 Excellent, touching photograph! Quite a story there, and I can't stop looking at it. An easy thousand words. Thanks for posting that. Â Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloumiles Posted April 18, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted April 18, 2012 Really like the subject and action, incredibly gritty. What did you shoot this with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semrich Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share #4 Â Posted April 18, 2012 Larry and John, thank you both for your taking the time to comment. Â John, the area in Istanbul where this was taken has empty and crumbling buildings side by side with buildings not much better where families are living. The scene is gritty and it was shot with an M3, Summilux 50/1.4 ASPH, Tmax 400 at 400 developed in DD-X 1+4, PP in Aperture and Silver Efex Pro 2 just for tones and edge burning.

roguewave Posted April 18, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted April 18, 2012 Richard, I like the content. I'm not fond of TmaX 400 for street work, unless I'm using my Hasselblads. The film is too flat for me in 35mm format. The grain has nowhere to breath. I much prefer TriX 400 for the grain, particularly for the street. Just my opinion regarding the films. I'm sure you will find yourself in these settings again. It might be cool to move the camera in synch with the rider on the swing so the background appears to have some movement & your subject is in focus with no blur. Just an idea. One last thing is that you might try not sharpening the walls at all to heighten the sense of movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickan1 Posted April 20, 2012 Share #9 Â Posted April 20, 2012 Wonderful picture that tells a story. To me it has the atmospere of times passed. But i can understand that it is real times in many places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semrich Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share #10 Â Posted April 21, 2012 Thank you all for taking your time to comment, I appreciate it. Â Ben, I agree, I don't like TMax at all, in fact I bought 30 rolls of TMax 120 and disliked it so much I gave it all away. Then I was given 6 rolls in 135 and it was all I had at home when setting out to shoot for the day (my HP5 Plus is in the fridge at the office) so it was a case of shoot what you've got. I will print this in the darkroom on Ilford MG fiber base brilliant paper, sharpening is not an option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
