I am always surprised by "definition" of film ** , even at 200% crop of the picture above

and the grains are beautiful to see  (huh ! not the pixels that are "smoothed" by the way).

it's fog

Grain silver = micro water droplets don't forget it  :)

I do not understand why this support is not used, always this search of the "fastest" and

"the right now". What  epoch !

It's been foggy here the last few mornings too, and I did wonder the same thing. I wonder where Ric is? ? ?

Gary

 

Gary I recommend you to shoot some fog pictures , with digital cam and film and compare the crops

You'll see the great difference :). Fog is so nice in film , if you like the nature and I know you like :)

Hello Henry,

 

Today's New York Times says the Seine is approximately 7 meters higher than normal. Not as high as the 1910 all time high of approximately 9 meters but none the less quite high. It also said that the rate of water flowing thru the City in the Seine is approximately 6 times the normal flow rate because of the rain combined with the overflowing of over filled retention systems upstream.

 

Are you OK?

Have you had the opportunity to photograph anything either with film or with digital.?

 

You, or someone else from Paris, or anywhere else in Europe experiencing this type of flooding, could use this Forum, either here in this Sub Forum, or somewhere else in this Forum, such as Barnack's Bar, to explain to Forum participants what is happening where ever in Europe they are.

 

David did this after the series of earthquakes in Christ Church. It was good to get his first hand account.

 

If you, or any other Forum participant reading this is able to provide photos or/& commentary it would be quite useful.

 

Safety from the water to you & to all of the others who are being effected by the water, who may be reading this.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Hi Michael, 

Thanks for your message.

Yes I am fine , but the situation is worsening in Paris (6m 50 but not yet 7 m)

and Normandy is under red alert soon (flooding of the Seine that passes city of Rouen

and tide from the Channel arrive in the same time)

I did not take any pictures yet but I have pictures of the last flooding. I'll post for you.

Some impressive pictures with this link:

Yes I like film to be frank my fridge is always well stocked up with B&W 35mm Film. Of course HP5 is the name of  the game, but now and then I will push the boat out and purchase 10 rolls of Delta 400.

I'm happy to say my M3 is always tucked away inside my jacket looking insignificant, but sometimes it does not go unnoticed with traveling public. Well Okay back into my Darkroom now, I must try and

understand all of the advantages and workings of my Enlarger (Leitz Focomat IIc with a Ilford Multigrade 500s) The B&W Prints from it are superb thanks to my M3. I must also add they certainly new how to manufacture High quality Cameras and Enlargers back in the 1950's. Just a thought --- I wonder about today's Digital Cameras will these Cameras still be in use in 50 or 60 years time?

Hello Henry,

 

It is good to hear that you are alright.

 

The Zouave in photos #7 & some other photos later has water up to his waist now. I think that many years ago when he was at his old location somewhat higher up than he is today, that the water in a previous flood at that higher location went all the way up to his shoulder.

 

Do you know how much higher than today's location the previous location was?

Also: Given today's circumstances combined with a future which will most likely include more Global Warming*:  Do you think that the people in charge of the placement of statuary in Paris might consider relocating him to a somewhat higher location?

Best Regards,

 

Michael

I will try that Henry, good idea.

I love both mediums though, and while I do appreciate your side, I enjoy and love the digital medium too.

Both have their place in my hobby.

I try to carry my Leica M6 TTL with me wherever I go. I don't always use it but it's there in case I see something cool to shoot. I was waiting for the bus after work one spring afternoon, and while waiting, I walked across the street to get this shot using my 28mm Elmarit on Tri-X, processed in Adol, then scanned on an Epson Flatbed.

Hmm. Seems analog pics don't show on digital media. :o

Sorry, couldn't resist that.

Check carefully about selecting and attaching your image to your post. There are several steps to follow.

You have a serious talent. Wonderful. Thank you :)

I don't know about that; but thank you anyway! :)

 

The sky is very British :)

Nice picture

Yes, I LOVE those British (or, as my London colleagues say, "English") clouds.  Wish we had more like that in NYC...

 

A few views recent from "medieval" Europe, without a hint of schmootz.

Overall I'm quite happy how the Cinestill rendered the colours.

Really nice, Christoph.  Probably wouldn't have been my choice for the low light.  But the skin tones came really good.

Michael , I think also that the "global warming" has a part in the violence and the rapidity ot these current events.

We had four dead and dozens injured including a child drowned in the garage of his house.

Thanks for thinking of us
