Bateleur Posted October 17, 2016 Share #22601 Posted October 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is from photokina this year, taken in Hall 1 where Leica normally keeps their cool kit together with the pictures of photographers whose names they borrow to further Barnack's cause. This year, Hall 1 only held photos; Leica had relocated to the basement (the horror) of another hall. Compared to previous years, Leica's presence was minuscule and from an equipment perspective, frankly, disappointing. In Hall 1, however, there was some interesting photography on display. But these mammoth prints of Bruce Gilden's photos were not that. I have never been a fan of Bruce Gilden. I've seen videos of how he works and just don't like how he approaches his subjects. When I saw these extreme close-ups in the S magazine last year I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but this series and interviews he's given about it has now cemented him in my mind as a photographer with little regard for those he photographs, as much as he claims the contrary (which is what he does for this series of photos from US state fairs). I think it is unfortunate that Leica has included him among the photographers they use to market their cameras when there are so many other to choose from. All this just my opinion, of course. I'm sure there are people out there who just adore him and his results. On another note, I was amazed how many people walked around with sport cams on sticks, simply recording their own existence. I'd better stop now before I begin sounding like a grumpy old man Flickr TTL 35/1.4A Superia 400 Love this dramatic photograph Philip! Interesting comments too on Leica's photokina presence and associations which made for disappointing reading and so agree on the humankind's narcissistic nature nowadays!

Bateleur Posted October 17, 2016 Share #22602 Posted October 17, 2016 I absolutely love Your pictures - all of them. I do not have an ounce of Your knowledge and professionalism. I learned developping photos at college, in 1969. Had that opportunity for one year. Then I sometimes went to the darkroom much later, when my wife did a lot of photo work. She gave all material away when digital photography came - and I always had some regrets. Then the photographer of the neighbour village, retired for 12 years, offered me the Krokus he had bought as a student, in the early 1960s. THAT was when my wife was two weeks to visit her family in France. So when she came back, I had re-created a simple darkroom and I started develloping the photos I shot. Yet I feel like a complete newbee in this place. I have little technical knowledge, basical should I say - and try to see what I shoot in a way that allows some kind of pictures depending on feeling rather than profound knowledge. So all this said, I hesitate to post pics as Your photos look so much more pro and better than all I'll be able to do. This all said, trying to be on-topic : here's a pic I shot in winter in Firenze, Italy. In front of the "Annunciatione " Fresco by Fra Angelico in San Marco. ( Leica IIIf / Elmar 3:5 / 50 lens Kodak 400TX - photo on baryte paper scanned to upload) Jean-Marie Jean-Marie, the photo you posted contains much feeling and human interest and speaks volumes which to me is more important than technical quality and hope you post more pictures on this thread.

mikemgb Posted October 17, 2016 Share #22610 Posted October 17, 2016 The first of a few I'll be posting today, I ran my first roll of Ilford SFX in 20 years. I used a Canon QL17 with a deep red filter. That camera was chosen because the meter is within the filter threads. I ran the first film with no adjustments to the metering and developed in Ilfosol 3 for 6 minutes. The negs have a nice density but the numbers down the side are weak, I believe this means I overexposed the film and undeveloped it, please correct me if I'm wrong because I'll adjust for that with my next roll. Taken at a classic car show a couple of weeks ago. Welcome, dear visitor!
