I really like this photo! Algeria is really a beautiful country. What a pity that right now it is almost too dangerous to travel. I met many friendly people there

 

best regards

Marc

Thank you Marc

Yes , we are in a bad period and the world is in the terror and the insecurity :(

..... but there are still some places a little safer :)

Henry, your scans are producing a consistent yellow cast.  To overcome it you need to start at the very beginning of your conversion of original to digital workflow (also take a look at your working environment) and calibrate your monitor.  Your scans will improve if you eliminate the yellow cast at the preview stage. Given the consistency, it should be very easy to deal with it. Happy with pm to help you with this if you wish.

 

Thanks for your comments.  Most of my landscape and travel photography is taken with film (several formats including a Leica MP), I also use a Nikon D810 and a Fuji X100T.  I have no interest in Leica M digital cameras for my purposes.

Hi Steve (Honcho) - I think you did improve the colors.  And I for one appreciate the time you took to give your spin on this.  Having said this, I think you may have gone a little overboard with the contrast and micro-contrast, and then with the NR.  The resulting image has a somewhat "plastic" (more digital, less like film) feel to it.  I could see how some people could like this look.  But I think that Henry is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.   He likes his images super natural looking, without even looking like a heavy hand was taken to the negative in the (analog) darkroom. Whatever slight color casts there might be on Henry's images, my impressions that he loves them just the way they are.  

Your rendition demonstrates how far one can dodge and burn a film negative in the digital darkroom; and it is quite impressive, indeed.

Today I tried the Adox Fx-39 for the first time. Not a good photo to evaluate its quality, but I will see...

To be honest it was no Leica today, I used the Minolta TC-1 with a fixed 28 mm lens. It is a beautiful very small analog compact camera with a fast autofocus and I am impressed about the quality. 

best regards

I think your new camera has potential.  Very nice. 

I just sent my Ricoh GR1V to the Square Warranty company for a look at what appears to be imperfect autofocus and metering.  Due to its age, I doubt they will be able to fix it, so I am hoping for a refund of my purchase price. 

I though about the Minolta TC1 (as well as the Contax).  I wanted a 28mm, so that eliminated the Contax.  I can't quite remember what drew me away from the Minolta, but it certainly won out in the construction category.

I think if the GR1V worked perfectly, it would really be quite a nifty tool.  The ability to change aperture on a dial on the camera  and zone focus at 1, 2 and 3 meters is quite cool.  I just wish the flash could work at high shutter speeds.  

Any way, those compact film camera are really cool and I think everyone should have one (that works properly)  :)

No more fog, but today's bright sunshine over a frozen pond deep in the woods gives a veiled look:

love the colors on this, Chris.  Better choice than B&W as you get a good feel for the time of year and type of lighting...

Adam, 

 

Have you onsidered a Rollei 35? Both, the S and the T version boast terrific little lenses, albeit 40mm and not 28.

I find that in most cases, with a bit of exercise, the guess-focussing works fine, and for the rest the camera is truly

pocketable and unobtrusive.

Hi Christoph - I did indeed look at the Rollei 35 and, at the time, I really wanted a 28mm.  But it looks like a really nice camera and I may consider it again if I end up parting with my Ricoh.  Hope you are having a great holiday week.  Best, Adam

My Paris shots again, love the City.

This was along from the Louvre, and is now a severely cropped panorama, the sky was full of gunk, it looked like the neg had been close to someone with a cold. I'll re-wash it and see if I can extract the full shot.

Adding to the woes, it looks as if it was not secure in the neg carrier, so is soft on the sides.

Lovely place though, Henry will know it well.
