Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

James I like all with their very nice color

I have also taken the second picture like you (same inspiration :) ) but with the 135 mm

Have you tried it ?

Henry

 

Thank you for your comment. I didn't try another focal length due to two reasons: I usually take one lens on a tri only and I do not own a 135 :). The longest lens I own is a screwmount 90 Elmar, btw...

Sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to give me some feedback.  One can only stare so long alone!!

 

To answer a question posed, I used a cable release for all shots, but the provia shot had a substantially longer exposure that the Ektar shot w/o the ND filter as the sun was piercing through the clouds and provided a much high exposure value to the scene.  The longer exposure and probably some tiny camera movement due to my inadequate travel tripod would explain the difference in crispness.

 

For the provia, as one might imagine, the scene had wide range of EVs, with the bright horizon and much darker foreground.   The only way to get a decent shot was to reduce the range of EVs, and the only way to do this was to put on my 2 stop hard ND grad filter right over the horizon.    This use of the filter on the Hassy superwide caused extra vignetting.  In cases like this, the only thing to do is embrace the vignetting and not fight it :)

 

Thanks again to everyone.

Adam

 

 

Thanks, Adam. I like the Ektar w/o ND most for the colours, both reds and greens. The long exposure is impressive though, holding the colours well.

 

 

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?
Gary

 

 

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. 

 

 

I like the first one too, but the Ektar (static parts) appears sharper for some reason. Did you use a cable release on the Provia shot?

 

 

Another vote for the Provia 100F

 

 

This one for me. I looked and looked. Compared and compared again. This makes me feel the scene...d'ya get me..?

 

 

 

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!

 

Christoph

 

 

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 - you are well on your way to mastering B&W with film.

But your color still needs work.  

But I am confident that you will get there and them some...

Love this one, Christoph.  It is one that will get more interesting with time.  

You might consider opening the shadows a little though so the detail in and around the people is more visible.

I cant wait to try the Ektar when I am in Switzerland, I will also get the snow caped Alpes with some TRIMAX, I am shooting more color now and will continue shooting it and learning what each of the films is capable.....fun times ahead :)

Adam,

 

Thanks. Indeed, on the web, the picture looks rather dark. :(

It did not so on my monitor...

I think I'll print it anyway, which should settle the matter in a sort-of reference kind of way  :rolleyes:

New York City, like Paris, has an immediate appeal to photographers, and many of the photographic

opportunities are characteristic of the city, instantly recognisable like a fingerprint, and probably have

become - with time at least - stereotypes. When returning from NYC I did notice that several of the

scenes that I captured have also been captured in a very similar fashion by others here on the forum,

some I found printed in the Leica User Forum Books  :blink:. 

So here's one from the Museum of Modern Art that probably has been done as well, but at least I

have not seen it yet  :p
