Henry,

 

Yes, there are more Cistercian Abbeys around; the three I mentioned are the ones of the Provence.

Nice that you could spend a week in Senanque for peace and meditation, I imagine this has been an impressive experience for you (meditation & the Leica :) )

My experiences there only extends to visiting as a tourist...

Yes Christoph you're right for the Cistercian abbey of Provence.

 

The beauty of these places is in the atmosphere research

you feel when we get there. Should that people make a pilgrimage to question occasionally

themselves , this avoids the stupidity of some people, this independantly of religions because

sometimes practitioners people are worse than all other (extremists)

Henry,

Since you are about to embark on another humanitarian mission, I'll post this photo of Pippa when she worked for three months at a mission hospital in Maua, Kenya. She still visits Kenya each year as she has set up a home for AIDS and AIDS-orphaned children there, but, sadly, all her photos of it are digital (but still Leica!)

Olympus Trip 35, Kodachrome 64, Nikon 9000 scan:

Chris , I don't know that Pippa also go for humanitarian medical mission.

It is a great pleasure to serve others , especially children with AIDS.

I have tremendous respect for these people.

 

Can you transmit to Pippa all my esteem.

Thanks for the picture a very nice moment and good memories of her life :)

Best

Henry

Ilford HP5 - Spur HRX - Scan of the print.

 

Charles , Ilford HP5 and Niky

Yes more please :)

Why ? the reasons :

Soft and not sharp cutting lines (as in digital)

Natural human skin with visible pores (not smooth pixels) through the grain of film

+ the manner of framing the picture , also the most important . Bravo Charles

 

All this gives this picture a sensual , a soul like no other medium can do, except the film

Long live film

Thanks for posting

Best

Thank you Henry. Agfa Vista is rebadged Fuji, likely C200. I checked the edge markings once using one of the online services and it reported Fuji (the text on the rebate is also similar to Fuji, CAxx I seem to remember). 

 

A lowly inexpensive consumer film, no doubt, but with wonderful colour and characteristics, including that it can be pushed very well. Worth trying. I stocked up a bit when there was a clear-out at Kruidvat here in NL. I think it's sold cheaply in the UK and Germany too (at Müllers and DM).

 

As for colour, I always adjust colour on my scans. I have never seen C41 give completely accurate colour out of the scanner, though how inaccurate the colour will varies (slides is a different matter of course).

 

 

 

Philip very nice color and refreshing color specially green and orange.

Agfa Vista looks like a bit Fuji IMO

Thanks

Best

Henry

Philip , before when I gave my color film to ext labo for development I find sometimes a light cast

with sometimes scratches on my film. Now It's finished since I dev myself in C41.

No cast and veil. I am happy to obtain a complete control of the chain since the taking of the picture

to printing  and what a great pleasure to do youself and also less work in front of his computer and use

of photo software. :)

Regards

Henry

I showed above same pictures in Kodak TX 400 with my MP .

I think both color and b&w are nice. Each has his charm :)

Beautiful shots with well reproduced colors! I found the best way to ensure color consistency after digitizing the negative is by setting black, white, and grey points correctly to adjust the white balance. Kodak Ektar 100 tends to be always too bluish in dark areas, and Kodak Porta 400 NC tends to have some magenta cast in digital processing. Sometimes grey point setting helps, sometimes it needs to be done by additional hue/saturation channel adjustments in PS. Best way to see the colors revealed in the negative how they really are is by printing from the negative on photosensitive color paper via RA-4 processing. You still need to adjust magenta/yellow filters in the enlarger, but since it affects the whole image, you will get a good idea after correct calibration how the negative colors look like.
