Henry,

 

The article describes quite well what I see is happening with "Digital" photography. While it is probably true that photography by nature does not depict reality, but an interpretation thereof, at least until recently it was substantially an impression of the actual light emitted at a scene. That link is increasingly lost. Laws of nature are violated in search for a perfect picture, whereby the definition of perfect may change according to taste. With analog photography I see an image of a scene. With digital, I see a picture that may or may not have some resemblence to (elements of) the scene. 

And the ease with which those manipulations can be applied facilitate an abhorrent deluge of, at best mediocre misrepresentations of ... I better stop and go for a walk and take some nice images  :D

 

Have a good weekend everyone,

 

C.

 

Christoph well said !

 

There is a certain similarity between what we have in the reproduction of sound and image.

 

People go to the most convenient and fast and forget the essential  .... fidelity

and it works because the industrial and economic lobbies are behind and try to submit to their dictate. :angry:

 

But we , lovers of film (and music) , we resist :)

 

I often make a parallelism between a tube of the amplifier and the film of the M analog , you see in the picture below.

 

The purest sound possible without denaturation and the most faithful possible picture of what we see, without distortion and without going through a computer circuit ("robot" camera) or the need of the  destructive software from our original ...

 

Sad time of profit !

.... and sensation to be in nirvana when listening to a vinyl record,
unrelated to the aggressive sound (especially in the treble and upper midrange) of a CD

and no relief (of the sound) ....  like for digital image ! :angry:

Did someone say mist?

 

Back to XP2. I'm lucky enough to live quite high up a hill, well I say hill but it would be the highest mountain in Britain if it magically relocated there. This being Switzerland instead of a windswept crag, it's just a hill where little old ladies walk their dogs.

 

Where was I?

 

Oh, at 700+ metres we're usually above the Nebelmeer which translates as "cloud sea" so enjoy more clear blue skies than most. So that makes misty, moody days far and few between. On the few days when it's misty I now rush out with a camera to grab a few shots. Make hay whilst the sun (don't) shine.

Dull and foggy today, but since Henry has shown us fog is beautiful (MP, 35ASPH, XP2, HC-110):

Ok...enough of the exciting destinations and exotic locales, famous beautiful people, and things like that.

 

Now for some mundane images from my latest roll of Cinestill 800.

 

I went to Ohio to get some lasik so i could see my 35mm frame lines without moving my head around so I thought I'd celebrate by busting out the Cinestill 800 instead of the old Kodak Gold $1.99 per roll :)

 

We stopped to eat at White Castle (I'd never been to one) and of course after the surgery, I had to go into the restroom at the Doctor's office and take a selfie without glasses just to see if my focusing got better!

 

Then, unfortunately, I got shingles, and man does it hurt!

 

The last picture is a shoot-from-the-hip shot at the pharmacy getting my medicine.

Very special color  and very nice.

Well framing for the second and third pictures :) 

Thanks for sharing

As mist and fog seems to be the order of the day.

 

The end of one roll (Poundland film)...
