After 3 years of digital M, coming back to the film that gives me more pleasure to photograph.

Results: the beauty and high fidelity of the image are present : image with a consistency that is not found in the digital, non-smooth edges of

subjects or objects, more natural color, brief more natural picture ....

 

I would like to open this thread to share with you and collect pictures of those who still practice the film and who share my point of view

 

Thank you to post what you want in this thread ..... we are in the "other" section.So the success of this thread depends on you,

otherwise it will be forgotten

Finally, I would like the film deserves this return because it's worth it!

and welcome to all for color photos as black and white

 

I start if you allow me

 

Thank you for reading me

Henry

This photo is from a series from some of my crazy, extreme photo adventures I  had photographing Mountains "Alpinists " and rock climbers. This is Alpes mountain range which is called   "Le Massive du Mont Blanc", Haût Savoir region  In France.  And this place is a White valley ( La Vallee Blanche - Chamonix ) the most beautiful region You must visit. I was very brave enough to carry my Medium format two lenses/ meters/ and a Canon EOS and a 50mm, a lot of films No tripod/ It is crazy when I thi

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a camera is always far from a final result, and the final result requires time and thought.   Film also continues to improve. The quality of available film and developers is as good as it has ever been, and it is still as competent as digital sensors of equivalent size.   I also much prefer silver g

On a week-long stay at the Faroe Islands, I took the ferry from Torshavn (the 'capital') to the southernmost island, Suduroy, and looked up potential shooting locations on the island. This image was taken a little before the sun was setting in the ocean, with wind from the west (left). With the uplift of the humid air at the cliffs, fog and clouds drifted over the island. A quite typical situation for the islands; the ocean can be more or less cloud free, but the islands are generally covered in

Bonjour Henri,

 

I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a camera is always far from a final result, and the final result requires time and thought.

 

Film also continues to improve. The quality of available film and developers is as good as it has ever been, and it is still as competent as digital sensors of equivalent size.

 

I also much prefer silver gelatine prints. They have a presence that is unique, which I like. Silver prints are generally not available to the digital home worker. They are available, but not so easily, and not instantly (eliminating one advantage of the digital camera).

 

I also am not sure I would be quite as pleased to live with a current digital M camera as I am with my M3 and (particularly!!) my M2. I have not yet used or seen anything that surpasses them.

 

I also like the fact that pressing the button has a cost. It means that I won’t take a machine gun approach (because there is no incremental cost to making another digital exposure). Good pictures imply thought of one form or another, and the constraint of 36 pictures and some cost is not limiting – it promotes good and thoughtful photography.

 

The picture is at St-Amand-de-Coly, near Sarlat-la-Canéda, France.

Recent tulip blossom Kodak Portra 160

What do you think of this soft focus that I can not have with my two digital M?

 

Note the thickness of the tulip petal versus smooth thinness in digital

All very very well done. I might post some also, but the quality of these is intimidating.

May I ask about the extent of digital post processing in these?

Hi Kd I did not make any post-processing

Just raw Tiff coming out the Nikonscan (all set as standard) and Jpeg for post

I rarely post processe because I trust rendering of ​​the film

Thanks for looking and comments

Best regards

    Thank you. I have returned to film for much of my RF shooting as I have sold my M9 and await an M240. I have to say I do enjoy it and have considered passing on the M as a result. But my results have been inconsistent, especially with color film.

    You are welcome

    I would like also to order the new M but when I saw the color and overall image rendering Cmos versus M8 and M9, I've changed my mind.

    For against, I'll buy a MP ! I have become allergic to digital and I will treat myself
