A miller Posted January 12, 2015 Share #2684 Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks, Henry. I like the candy wrapper rendering of the colors and contrast. After taking this shot, I was approached by this person who had been trying to take a selfie. He asked me to take a picture of him with his iphone. I did and then insisted on taking a "real" shot with my camera. I have emailed the shots to him and he was delighted. Nice that the shot was actually put to use! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblitz Posted January 12, 2015 Share #2685 Posted January 12, 2015 Adam -- I think this is one of my favorites you have posted. How did you set the flash and f/stop on the camera? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted January 12, 2015 Share #2686 Posted January 12, 2015 Nice contrast and nice black gray scale gradation only possible with film This goes a little too far for me. I agree upon the photo there. But with an MM you can make very nice work that gives the Tri-X feeling too. The big difference lies in the digital print giving never that depth as a wet baryta print Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted January 12, 2015 Share #2687 Posted January 12, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Adam -- I think this is one of my favorites you have posted. How did you set the flash and f/stop on the camera? Thanks, Steve. I used the SF-24D in manual mode on my M-A. Set the flash to the lowest burst and just stopped down 1 or 2 stops beyond what the exposure reading was. Had to hold steady as 1/50 was all there is on the shutter.

poppers Posted January 12, 2015 Share #2688 Posted January 12, 2015 I was hoping to post some more shots tonight but unfortunately overcooked the dev. I forgot to dilute my D76 to 1+1 . School boy error and I'll be more careful next time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share #2689 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) This goes a little too far for me. I agree upon the photo there. But with an MM you can make very nice work that gives the Tri-X feeling too. The big difference lies in the digital print giving never that depth as a wet baryta print Otto difference is visible if you have the habit to take 2 same pictures (one in digital and one in film) in parallel as the example you have in the n°2411 post of this thread. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/other/286747-i-like-film-open-thread-131.html The “gradation” of “black and gray” is not the same for both, as the digital “smooth” with its software the edges, lines and spaces. Edges and lines in film are not smooth because we have grains (and no software) , these grains are impressed by the amount of light coming to impress the film, we will have a grade and scale more accentuated in film than in digital (“density” of silver grains or “number” of silver grains less or more impressed by the light) and so no possible smoothing for film. We have a "grading" scale, more progressive and “not flat” like in digital (see post n° 2611 post , I copy you below). Look at the edges , lines and spaces of M8 and compare with the edges and lines of film images of fog (look at crop of fog of 2 images, one M7 and M8) They are smooth, not grainy like a real fog, that's what I have with digital ! For printing, Obviously with these smooth edges, if you enlarge the photo on inkjet, it will be clear and this will please you. Meanwhile, if I enlarge my image with an enlarger and I print on photographic paper, these lines will be less clear but for me this is what differentiates the 2 images , may be blurred but some like me , will appreciate a picture that has a certain shape and a certain charm as in the days of Henri Cartier Bresson. Sorry to be too long and thank you for reading Best Henry Look at these two crops below and you will understand why the fog is best rendered with the film1st photo: non enlarged picture 2nd picture: crop 100% of film crop left in the trees 3rd picture: crop 100% of the same photo in digital taken at the same place , same time (-8°C) You have noticed that it is the grain that gives this real aspect of fog that digital can not reproduce because "smooth" fog by software What do you think ? Picture n°1 : "Fog over the city" freezing fog original non enlarged picture Leica M7 Summilux 35 Asph Ilford HP5 400 Isos [ATTACH]478547[/ATTACH] Picture n°2 : crop 100% of film, like an impressionist painting [ATTACH]478548[/ATTACH] Picture n°3 : crop 100% of the same photo in digital (flat) Leica M8 * Summicron 28 Asph [ATTACH]478549[/ATTACH] * you notice that I always take the M8 (CCD) as back up and not the M9 because I find that the rendering is better than the M9 .... and only with 10 MPx M8 is the best digital camera of Leica in my opinion , I say the best !
