Our names might be confusing, the shot is Marc's aka Benqui !

 

I believe this was shot on velvia:

 

Dune Camp, driving  from Nouadibhou to Nouakchott, Mauritania by _JM_, on Flickr

 

Cheers JM aka Jean-Marc :-)

My apologies to both of you - Multi-tasking is something I fail at repeatedly, although I still keep trying.

 

I like both Marc's tyre-change in a sandstorm, and Jean-Marc's Mauritanian dune camp. I spent a lot of my younger life working in deserts, and these shots are very evocative - Thank you to all varieties of Marc's.

Whoa, whoa everybody - slow-down!  How can a person keep up with the rate of uploads and do justice to so many great images  :0  

Very impressed by (amongst so many others) the Pan F tones of the KL skyscrapers.  A film I have yet to try...

 

First upload for a while - MP, Summaron 35mm f2.8, Acros 100, Rodinal.

Waiting for the Tide

This is great, Keith. The mud looks tangibly wet!

Hi everyone,

 

I've been away for a while (... leaving again in a couple of days!), popped in a few times fleetingly and the thread is well and truly on a gallop with so many wonderful photographs. So fantastic to see. I've flown through the pages and not really feasted on the fare. 

 

I'm going to Melbourne for 3 weeks and there should be some autumn colours out. I'd thought of travelling really light: M6 with a 28 and 50. Now I'm getting tempted to take the FM3a with a 40 for colour too. There will likely be a chance to get out of city as well. Any thoughts would be welcome.

 

Here's a photograph taken in Amsterdam between Christmas and the New Year.

 

Agfa Vista 400.

Nice Winter colours, Suede. Melbourne should be looking good in the Autumn light, and has plenty of urban opportunities and seascapes close at hand. The main thing is to enjoy yourself, and capture shots along the way.

I can only speak for myself but, when I carry 2 cameras, I generally end up only shooting with 1 (and also seldom change lenses once I'm out and about). I'm usually happy to wait until the end of a roll before changing B&W to colour or vice versa. That may just be laziness, rather than anything Zen-like.

This photo is beautiful David.

As you said , I have allowed to reduce (it was 840x1280px) to 550x838px

 

Your original reduced 550x838

 

attachicon.gifpost-34041-0-41668400-1459683902-photo orig.jpg

 

and a bit corrected (same size) : I add a little contrast and extra light

Your opinion ?

 

To reduce picture size, you have many free photo reduction software * and I believe also

in recent LR.

Hi, David. As with Philip, I use the Save for web option in PS, which adds a Gaussian blur as it downsizes. If saving for Flickr, I reduce to 95%, and if saving for LUF, I reduce by the % required to get to a file size ~480Kb.

I put together a separate PS Action for where I have a very big file, such as a multi-shot panorama - This does a multi-stage downsizing (there are instructions on the interwebby for how to do this), but it is not required for the scanned film images.

Beautiful shot, Adam. The deep shadows of the bridge stand out well in the metropolitan scene.

Very nice, Henry. I love the textures coming through in the shadows. One of my favourite activities in Paris is "bridge-admiration", walking beneath these magnificent structures and admiring what man can achieve when inspired - Thank you.

I have been using Perfect Resize (versions 7 and 10) on my OSX computers and am satisfied by the transparent resizing , no added sharpening nor any apparent lossening of quality to my eyes ! Never seen any added sharpening once uploaded to flickr either .

 

My 2 centavos, JM.

Marc, ah sandstorm, awful when driving a car

Good moment for the picture but not for the camera (doesn't like it)

Thanks a lot Henry. But I was very lucky, there was no damage on my F3

Thanks very much, Eoin and Jean-Marc - I will make a test print and see how it comes out...

 

Still waiting for Gary (GSGARY to come on-line....)

Henry, thanks for this. I do prefer the darker image. I was really struggling for light and was making the most of the dying natural light. I would have to clean up the image quite a bit for the light picture !

The blue comes through as very deep, Christophe - I like it.

 

Hi Eoin,

 

Thanks, Ibought the film, which is sold as traffic surveillance film, as an experiment. The colours are very saturated indeed when exposed at ISO200 instead of the box speed of ISO640. Still, it has abominable grain. So far I have mainly exposed the film in the Rollei 35T - whose Tessar Lens is perhaps not always the reference when it comes to sharpness - and in the bright sunshine of that early spring day I had to close the aperture to f16 or beyond, which does not seem to help either. So I will run a roll or two through some M body as well in the near future. I'll post some more of the results so far anyway soon.

 

Best regards

 

Christoph

This is a test to see how my images look on the thread - the first is by exporting from LR as a jpeg max 500 KB and the second resizing in Perfect resize - thanks JM for jolting me I had the software ! 

 

Thanks to all who have responded.

Second image resized.

This would have been developed with Ilfosol of DDX, I think it is the Rodinal at 1:50 that is causing the grain.
