Here are two from Ektar just a few minutes later.

The shots were taken immediately after each other.

The first, though, used a 6 stop ND filter, while the second was shot w/o any filters

Thought some people would find it interesting how Ektar handled the same wide angle scene w/ and w/o an ND filter....

 

 

w/o any filter...

OK, head on block time again.

First for me.

They are all nice, of course, but the last is "too dreamy" for me, very nice, but I like the first in that it has a little bit of that blurred feeling, but isn't completely static like the middle one, or too dreamy either.

Get what I mean?

Adam, I prefer the first one as the hidden sun helps keep the attention on the foreground or lower part of the picture ! I remember you posting a similar shot in broad daylight which I liked a lot .

 

Please keep them coming as they aren't boring me at all... !

 

Best, JM.

Adam,

 

Of course they are all nice. Without having been there it's difficult to judge the colour reproduction, but for me the Ektar looks more convincing than the Provia. IMHO the colours of the Provia does not look right in the clouds and the sea just below the sun. I think this is much improved in the second image. The third one, due to the extended exposure, I presume, acquires a more pastell sheen, which does the scene less justice.

To complete the overview, and help me to really make up my mind, could you also post the Provia shot with the extended exposure time of the second Ektar picture, and then the Ektar with the medium long exposure time of the Provia picture  B)

 

All the best and enjoy your Bagels!

Question.

I am going on a 28 day trip with 2 weeks in Scotland and 2 weeks in Switzerland/Northern Italy. I had initially planned to take my M6 and Leica S, but really want to now just take M6 and 503 (I am really really enjoying this new experience of shooting film and just listing to the 503 take a picture is just so frigging amazing)

I'm confident enough to know that I can get the correct exposure (+/- 1) and confident that I can get the film back home without too much grief with the airports scanners...............there's just a wee bit telling me to take the S and leave the 503 to guarantee the picture, but there's also part of me saying .................hell if I miss a few pictures so what, its all about enjoying taking right??????

Here are three photos of a sunrise that I took within a span of a few minutes....and it is the last of this subject that I will bore you with...

Any reactions and preferences are most welcome.

The first is with Provia 100F.  Too long of an exposure for the velvia 50.

Adam,

Provia gives a complete and vivid color palette

without filter Ektar is more light in color level than with filter where color is more pronounced

All three are beautiful to me with a preference for provia.

Thanks for sharing

The proof of : "Each film is a new sensor " as said a famous photographer

Its depends on your artistic style and preference :)

Film is extraordinary

Neil,

 

In a few years from now, digital technology will decide for you not just iso, exposure time and aperture, but also the best moment to take the shot (out of so many recorded ones); depending on the desired picture profile (like HCB? Ansel Adams? or ...), focal length and the most suitable aperture setting as well as shutter times are be chosen or re-constructed after the picture is taken, etc. ...

So if you ask me, enjoy the possibility to chose your own moment and settings, while you can; at least it is you who took the picture, and not some unknown programmer ...

M6, and 503 for me Neil. And less lenses rather than a whole bag full.

Take perhaps the 50 and a 28 or so for the M6, and the 80 for the Blad.

Maybe the 40 as well if you are not walking too far.

Thats the attitude I take. And just to take my time and use analogue equipment is my primary reason to shoot film.

I agree. Ektar is Portra on steroids, and Vevia 50 is Ektar with the turbo cranked up.

Anybody with a MF- Camera should try a Velvia sometimes. I was able to get a Rollei P66 Dual P for a reasonable price.

The bright, shiny colours  will just beat you off.

Neil M6 with wide angle (28 or 35) for landscapes of Switzerland-Scotland

and street pictures .Tele 75 or 90 for portraits without distortion ...and sometimes

landscapes or flower in nature

that's what I bring when I go on mission or when I travel far (12,000 kms)

but for the 6x6 I do not know, I leave it to the gentlemen here to advise you :)

Once I went with only 28 and 50, I regretted because under certain conditions the 90

I miss.

Best

Henry
