Thanks, Steve - Velvita is one of the kings of film when used in the right setting.  

 

As for your Afghani fruit seller friend, he is my friend too and pose for me once a couple of years back.  I actually had been meaning to give him a print but have been distracted.  Given his personality, I am sure he will be delighted to get the photo you made of him, which, b/c it was with film I like better than mine (although I like my lens (75 lux) better  :)

Very nice color Adam

Extraordinary color fineness

Soft definition very pleasant to watch

@Gary & EoinC

Thank you for your friendly comment. It was Kodachrome and it is in my own neighbourhood in Bonn, which I never left for my whole lifetime. Apart trips to France.

I don't regret. It is fascinating to see the change of people and  the immediate vicinity. But I find it often  difficult to take pictures of these familiar things.

Please forgive the woeful detritus on the slides, and the wildly ranging colours, but I'm just digitising as I find them at the moment.

More Kimberleys and sailing for Dave, and some 1980' haircuts for J (Ektachrome 64, Kowa 6)...

We have guests tonight for a few days.  Luckily my favourites...so I could relate your pictures, and I burst into tears..yikes!

I just feel half the man I was.  I suppose it's part of life...but sometimes feel like a handbag now ( please no aspersions on my darling wife).

 

Such is life... :(

 

more please Eoin...it makes me remember.

 

all best..

Sometimes Fuji Velvia 50 as Adam uses currently has also nice color

In fact all color films have beautiful colors , each new film is a new sensor :)

A place I recall fondly, as kids we spent virtually every free day here, dad built a bach (modest holiday home) near the top of the inlet, and we boated, swam, fished, and generally whiled the days away, a great childhood.

Hello Gary,

 

I keep coming back to this photograph of yours and I’m trying to figure out why. One indifferent viewer would probably call it a tourist’ shot, then add “but a serious amateur’s.” If it is, it is a finest example of a shot by a tourist coming back home and bringing some exquisite photographs.

 

The photograph appears to benefit from a subtle balance; there is an “X” of lines crossing the field, one line made of the water, the other of the land; the two blue hues of the water work together nicely, sort of implying a  “movement” from the deep ocean to a serene gulf; then comes the glorious sandy coast, almost pure white, an impossible to ignore invitation to bathe.

 

Maybe it’s all that, maybe it’s because it is reminiscent of my birthplace; but if HCB’s criterion of a good photograph—the time spent looking at it—is of some value, then this photograph is really good!

 

Paul
