Doc Henry Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share #22043 Posted October 1, 2016 Henry, I agree with your comment about the blur. To me your photo could be even stronger if there was not boats left and right. As is I do find them a tad distracting.

finarphin Posted October 1, 2016 Share #22044 Posted October 1, 2016 Eoin What does shooting it at 50 do.......... I guess one stop under right?? I happy to hear about the blacks being blacker as well mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Most film is slower than the number printed on the box would indicate. If one wanted to adopt a strict Zone System approach, there is a certain procedure to be followed -- involving making various exposures of a neutral test card at different f stops -- that will determine the actual ASA (or I guess it's called ISO now) -- but that only holds for a particular batch of film (so you're doing a lot of testing if you want to be really strict). There used to be an outfit -- Zone VI Studios -- that would develop the test film and measure the result with a densitometer and let you know the results. They were looking for 0.1 above film base plus fog, or whatever the actual number was. The negative that had that value was the one that showed the true ASA of the film. I went through that procedure once with them, and if I remember right the printed on the box ASA was 320, but the actual ASA was something like 100. All this was significant in order to enable an accurate placement of the low values, like Zone I and II. Of course the subsequent development of the film, to get an expansion or contraction of the range of tone, was a different matter. I'm not really strict anymore, but I generally use about half the box ASA when working with sheet film. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted October 1, 2016 Share #22045 Posted October 1, 2016 When using sheet film do you just cut it yourself or what. Why not just use pre rolled film?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted October 1, 2016 Share #22046 Posted October 1, 2016 When using sheet film do you just cut it yourself or what. Why not just use pre rolled film?? Depends Neil, like always. Sheet film is "usually" 4x5, sometimes 7x5, and also 8x10. Inches as it harks from ye olde days. In my time it was also available in slammer sizes, but not so much now. Widest roll film? usually what you are accustomed to in your Hasselblad, 120. But, again in my time I used roll film in 12 inch widths, it was used for aerial shots, 12x12 inches. But you wouldn't want to be carrying the camera, even if you had "staff" to do this. They were hard mounted in an aircraft. So, if you desire bigger than the 6x6 (cm I know) you currently have you are destined for 4x5 or 8x10 most likely. Apart from the intrinsic fun factor, I can't really see the point though, not after seeing your recent shots posted (man on cow, bonnie wee lassie etc). Always good fun though, so don't be put off by the slowness and fiddling of sheet, it's fun. It was in the 60's when I had a Linhof anyway.

Frank Sellitto Posted October 1, 2016 Share #22049 Posted October 1, 2016 Hi Franck, I like these grains, they are beautiful , give the photo a paint appearanceVery well done.A remake with for example fog You know why nobody watches.... because people are now "formatted" for "plasticized" images,for synthetic images by the camera software , with pixels superbly "smoothed" and "flat" images , without relief, without consistency.This is the reality ! You know what ? There are now photos software that give grain to digital images , they want to imitate analogue photo. Who knows why ? Thanks for posting Franck Best Henry Thanks for your perspective Henry! Much appreciated. Love the hp5 'fog' image. Ouite lovely! Frank 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinC Posted October 2, 2016 Share #22051 Posted October 2, 2016 Sometimes a blur in a right place should have this effect... It is quite involuntary because I made focus on the sand and the boat in the foreground ...... Tam Ky at dawn (6 am) September 2016 Kodak TMax100 (dev in pure Kodak D76 Pro) MP-50 Summilux Asph Image5tamky2tmaxcipredrfeslfht+++950.jpg Your opinion ? Best Henry I like it, Henry. I like a photo that does not explain everything through the area in focus - It adds an almost parallel World aspect with something else going on, setting the imagination rolling. A favourite of my own photo's is an accidental one I did years ago (digital with a T/S lens) of a bridge North of Paris, in which everything is out of focus. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted October 2, 2016 Share #22053 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Adam, Comparing your three pictures of the temple wall, I find myself drawn to all of them for different reasons. The composition in the first one is compelling and classic, and the human protagonist is a clear indicator of the location. This is much less the case in the second picture, however its dynamic is quite compelling. Finally the picture with the two older men and the boy is a masterpiece of catching the right moment, with a lot of " human touch", but, I do miss their feet. Overall: well done, I'm looking for more. Have a good weekend, Christoph Hi Christoph - I really appreciate the time you took to provide this feedback. Fair point about the feet, although I honestly didn't really give it much thought until you mentioned it. I can see how it can be bothersome. I had there SWC off of the tripod and was sitting and laying back just a couple feet away from these people and pointing the camera up to try to get as much as I could. Oh well. But I did get their feet in this exposure, but I don't think it is a winner... Welcome, dear visitor!

Seeing Eoin's selfie, I decided to post one of my own, from a year or three back, OK, more than three. How I accomplished this, I can't remember, possibly my dear wife tripped the shutter, as the camera didn't really have a self-timer.

I do like the symmetry, and - at least for me - the picture gains withe the inclusion of the feet, though the expression and gesture of the child is better in the earlier version. Also, cropping this latest picture by removing the top part until it is square improves the composition dramatically - IMHO. Rgds Christoph 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
finarphin Posted October 2, 2016 Share #22057 Posted October 2, 2016 When using sheet film do you just cut it yourself or what. Why not just use pre rolled film?? If it's 4x5 or 8x10 it comes pre-cut, of course. The time I had it tested I was using 8x10 -- I didn't cut it but I did punch holes in the test sheets (with a hole punch normally used on paper) so I could identify which was which after they were developed.

DirkR440 Posted October 2, 2016 Share #22058 Posted October 2, 2016 So much to see here Dirk, but it looks "different". Neg overexposed? Not sure what it is, reminded me of "old photo paper", but this won't be the case here, as it is likely a scanned neg? Either way, nice. Gary I think a few things came together here. First of all, the sun was shining very strong on the day. Then, I think (by accident) I overexposed a bit when I took the picture. I tried to rescue it a bit with Lightroom by bringing the light down, etc. And also the film itself has a very high contrast. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
