not sure what I am seeing.  A little like the real melting into the surreal.  Very nice visual.

Very rough, storm-driven sea and 16 stops of nd with a further 3 stops on the sky. Probably approaching ir, blended with strong sunlight and lots of ambient uv, hence the on acid effect.

 

Think calm. ;)

Not only the Beemer - but me as well (amidst the Carnac standing stones).  BMW R65 with Rickman Polaris fairing & BMW panniers - a comfortable if somewhat leisurely tourer   :)

Did your son take the shot, Keith? I was riding CB750's and CB550's back then - Beemers being a little out of my league at the time.

This is a stunning shot, Steve, and I'm sure it looks great in print.

Last Thursday night our camera club had a wonder around our town and this shop window was the only thing that caught my eye so i ended up just helping the new members

Fuji GW690 loaded with Fomapan 400 shot at iso3200

Very nice tonal range at 3200, Gary.

Another long exposure - Ilford Delta 100.

 

Been playing with Delta 100 and pushing it to 400 - fog, snow, trees, the usual routine. The results look very similar to non-pushed, which is quite impressive. Shall try Delta 400 soon and see how they compare.

I think this is my favourite of the long-exposure shots you've posted so far, Ric. Grandmaster of Fog and sloooow-shooting.

Not sure, but they both look equally as good to me, but I'll plump for the second one being the Delta 100 pushed.

 

In the meanwhile back to the fog :D   Grainy, misty, early morning sunlit Moorhen....

I like the glow in this, Bob. It makes the scene feel alive.

Santorini, Leica MP with 50mm Summilux and Ektar 100:

This is beautiful, Dirk, as are the other Santorini shots on your Flickr site. I really like the 1960's feel it has to it, and the colours promote that well.

Two more from 1987, taken during a week or so tour of southern Brittany on my BMW motorbike, with my elder son (then 14yrs) on the pillion.  Fuji 100, Pentax ME Super.  Fortunately negs from that period are holding up quite well, whereas slides from earlier periods are not.

(1) The chateau at Josselin & the River Oust.

(2)The rooftops of Vannes.

These are beautiful, Keith. I particularly like how the River Oust appears - Thank you.

Top is pushed, but I have a 50/50 chance of being wrong. (based on shadow detail and steeper contrast/transitions but they are different scenes so comparison is even harder)

As modern emulsions are a blend of layers of different "native" speeds the difference between those two stocks, which I suspect will only differ in the blend ( with maybe other minor formula changes required by that) with that relatively gentle push is unlikely to be substantial.

As HCB may have said "film speed is a bourgeois concept".

 

either could be pushed. there isn't really enough shadow detail in the scene to be able to adequately assess. My wild guess is that #1 was pushed...

 

Ok, so the first one was indeed the pushed Delta 100.

 

Looking through the two sets of photos, I've come to the conclusion to use Deltas 100 and 400 interchangeably... I strongly suspect they're very similar chemically, but concede they *are* just that bit different enough that it's more than just the colour of the cardboard box they come in.

 

I might move towards Delta 400 because of the versatility of using an ISO 400 film on the street, or on the foot during a foggy day.

It may be terminal, Philip - You've seen what it's done to Ric. I like how the spire (?) in the background appears almost as a flame coming from the fence column.

 

The cheek of it!

p.s. :-)
