philipus Posted February 24, 2016 Share #11842 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Thank you Henry. That must have made quite a roar This is another type of aircraft photo. Flickr 50/1.4A 5222 at EI200 in Diafine This picture is for Philip I had the chance a person responsible of the airport led me on the runway Aircraft landing Kodachrome 64 MP-50 LA Image3usavkodcfeclfht++++1000tc.jpg Best Henry This is a shot I may have posted earlier. It was shot at a small aperture (it was a very bright day on the Barrier Reef) but there's still quite a lot of vignetting. From what I understand the Summaron is a much "better" lens, optically (seem to remember Puts wrote about them). The Hektor is soft wide open and doesn't deal well with flare but I like it anyway and use it quite often. I'll see if I can dig up some street shots taken with it. Flickr Portra 160 Interest, Philip. That f6.3 lens is, I think, older than the 5.6 summaron. The lenses are really made to be stopped down quite a bit. Otherwise, there is very meaningful fall off, which is perectly normal for wide angle lenses. The general rule of thumb for a typical WA lens (even with large format) is that you need to stop down at least THREE stops from the widest aperture to prevent vingetting/fall off. So with your 6.3 it would be at least f16 and with my 5.6 it would be at least f11. For landscapes this is REALLY important as the fall off (which probably isn't the right term) doesn't just affect the brightness of the edges but also the sharpness to a meaningful extent. So using these lenses for landscapes at anything less than f16 and f11 (resepctively) is really not going to deliver good results. For shots in the street and of people in general in which there is a select focal point or subject, the wider apertures aren't as problematic and can even be used to the advantage of the photographer. How is your 6.3 with sun flare? As stellar as the summaron? Edited February 24, 2016 by philipus 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 24, 2016 Share #11847 Posted February 24, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Very nice picture Ric. When you said "long exposure" it means less 1/15 -1/30 ? You'll need a tripod in this case ? Best Henry Hey Henry, more like 3-4 minutes, so yes with a tripod... and remote release. Ric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted February 25, 2016 Share #11849 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I am headed to Park Avenue and 53rd street to shoot this sculpture with my wide angle lens (I took this photo from the internet; it's not mine)... 58157e420e6c098ba5a78239a36756c7.jpeg I'll shoot a roll of B&W and color... I'd love to hear suggestions for what film you'd suggest, assuming you can get back to me within the next 30 minutes or so... It is an overcast day, which has good ambient light. Flat clouds (unfortunately nothing dramatic) I have, Ektar, Portras (160, 400, 800), Velvia 50 and 100 and Provia 100F For B&W I have TX400, Ilford Pan 50, TMAX 100 and 400 and maybe Delta 100 I'm leaving soon and will bring them all with me... Here are a couple of results from the roll of Ilford Pan-F 50 that I shot as per my message from Sunday. I think these are strong from a composition perspective although I think that my ideal shot would be with Ektar during either the onset of a sunset with clouds or during the magic hour with a bright navy blue sky (no clouds needed), in either case with long strings of red, orange and yellow car lights running along the length of the streets (resulting from the long exposure of ideally b/n 8 and 15 seconds). I have until July to execute as that it when this chrome guy is being removed... Welcome, dear visitor!

A miller Posted February 25, 2016 Share #11850 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) one more... I'm interested to know which composition strike you as most appealing, again, given the right light/color backdrop... Welcome, dear visitor!

Doc Henry Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share #11858 Posted February 25, 2016 Welcome in my world Henry! When I developed a film a few days ago, I accidentally opened the lid of my development tank too early, after pooring out the developer. I immediately closed the lid again, and poured the fixer in. Luckily it seems that the develop silver is not so sensitive to light once it is developed. I still need to scan the results, but the negatives look ok... Rgds Christoph Yes Christophe . The error is human and this allows to gain experience Once I was under developed in times of revelation All this will force us to be careful next time Best Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share #11860 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Adam , the first give a perspective of the statue with buildings and vanishing line , I would like more sky The 2 and 3 give a narrower view , but also the perspective of the statue with buildings around.
