That's because they were all on me, Gary.  

 

Actually I know West Coast sandflies pretty well and was wearing a military-grade insect repellant that actually stung a little as I daubed it on but was very effective at keeping the sandflies away.  And any other living beings within 20 metres, including humans. :lol:

 

Pete.

You must be (have been) of a reasonably portly size, as slightly built visitors have been known to be carried away if there is enough sandflies. Actually picked up and taken away, can you believe it!!!  :lol:

Maybe your Pentax was what saved you, it would take a few to get that and you off the ground.

Lovely Wanaka dawn shot Pete.

Beautiful Henry.

 

I agree Henry, beautiful.

Gary

 

These shots keep getting better and better, Henry. I love the contrast of the sharp reds of the poppies against the gold / green / silver river-like flow of the wheat.

 

Thank you!

 

This is lovely Henry. 

 

Thank you gentlemen :)

my first escapade : cool, rainy, not good weather since few weeks

but today, blue sky. So I left early this morning to go and take the poppies

before the sun rises too high.

I took all my pictures in contre-jour and film is very faithful to the color and

contrast without loss of definition.

 

Thanks again to Rob , Gary , Eoin and Philip fo your nice comment.

It's encouraging

I am also glad to develop the same day my roll of Kodak Portra without scratches

M7 works perfectly and easily with Apo Telyt and I don't need magnifier.

Well done Henry !

 

Thanks Jean Marc glad you like poppies picture

 

 

 

 

In contre-jour you have more relief and the color is more brilliant  :)

The sun is in front of me. I think digital cam cannot have this definition in the shadow

The red of poppies is for me the reference to test camera (for just exposure)

and film for vivid color.

I will return at the same place with this time the Apo 90 Summicron,may be to morrow :)

Following on from the lovely reds in Henry's poppy shots, an abstract from the playground. A bit of a grab shot, to be honest, as the keen-eyed will see there's not enough dof which resulted from too wide an aperture and maxed out shutter speed with a bit of over-exposure as a consequence (something which ACR's various sliders managed to tame).

The sensor looks to be a 645 equivalent.  You have so many incredible 6x6 and 6x7 film options available at a fraction of the cost.  Stay away ;)

 

Nope I meant this:

Leica II with Tri-x 400 and 50mm 2.5 Hektor.

 

Have you ever had a chance to watch a retriever swim? It is a real treat to watch. The obvious power of the animal is awe inspiring.

Philip , nice red and thanks for posting :)

You have a style in your picture. It's part of the richness

and variety  in terms of photography and we learn every day.

More red for Gary with relief in contre-jour

Kodak Portra 160 is also fine for poppies less warmer than 400 IMO

but nice too  :) may be best for difficult light condition of contre jour

 

I love the wheat shining and you ? :D
