When I look at photos of the banks of the Seine, with the M Monochrome, taken

by renowned photographer and the photos with the film, what strikes me the most is

the smoothness and structure which are increased and accentuated,
making the image "hard" and "flat",
Smoothing all the edges making a flat picture (the camera photo software has no nuance)

and accentuation of the structure making a hard picture.

 

 

 

With my enlarger , this picture posted below  is more beautiful with soft lines (no digital scan step)

That's the reason I let my 2 M digital cam. in my bag.

A few from the archive – either Velvia or Astia (transparency was the only kind of film I used prior to using digital). I still have some Velvia in the freezer – I must dig it out at some point this year.

I love the foreground for the bokeh and color of your last photo , in the same painting style of Massimo's picture.

I think the Noctilux has a part of this contribution.

 

Very nice series with soft color really relaxing pictures.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Happy New Year Ian to you and your family :)

some of your most well exposed and color balanced images, Henry.  The first has very effective composition.  And yes, the 28 cron is a wonderful lens that will last many generations.

Nice picture. In my view the softness of earlier Leica Lenses harmonizes well with the subdued colour of the film.

I continue my walk on the banks  ....

 

.... with Kodak TX400 (the last time with Ilford HP5)

 

 

 

MP-28 Summicron Asph

 

Quiz : If you look closely , there are 8 walkers at left (3 sitting on the edge of the Seine river

under the bridge) ...   and 9 pigeons at left  :D

 Walkers, sitters, pigeons - and one of the most civilized places on earth. Henry, your pictures of Paris are wonderful.

This one is for CHRISM, who I understand has an affinity for straight razor blades...

You wouldn't catch me dead in this vulnerable position, especially in lower Manhattan...  :)

Massimo,

 

The colour and distinctive grain pattern reminds me somewhat of the autochrome process of the brothers Lumiere. There's a fantastic museum ( http://www.institut-lumiere.org/musee/pr%C3%A9sentation/presentation-english.html ) on this, the brothers Lumiere and on early photography and cinematography in general in Lyon.

 

Adox colour implosion seems to be a film made in heaven for Sonnar-type lenses ...

 

Regards

 

Christoph
