A 500 Hasselblad also makes for a very stylish appearance (photo Sven Gillsäter).

It's amazing how far technology has come, but it still doesn't replicate the feel of film.

Mike very nice grain and lovely pictures specially the first

Henry

 

Thank you Henry, that first photo of the second group is the only one not taken by me, but it is of me, I just pre-focused and handed the camera to a friend.

 

I have always liked high contrast and lots of grain, although not in every photograph, but it does mean that in situations like this I'm perfectly OK with the grain. I will mention though, a Leica IIIa is really not the best choice of camera in this situation, the rangefinder is completely useless in low light conditions! All but the last image were scale focused and on the roll of 36 exposures I only missed focus a couple of times.

 

I'll just add that the Summar is an excellent portrait lens and it suits this film very well.

I am back, thank you to all of you !, including Gary, Eoin, Christoph and others here for your sympathy

and think of my humble person

 

A very difficult and hard month to pass

Bad news I have someone from the family who will probably die

 

I regret not being able to access where I am. And in addition with what happens I forgot my access codes

to mail and LF and everything is blocked

 

Sorry to have left you without news.

Beautiful pictures here on these last pages. I will try to look at the beautiful pages of photos to forget a little ....

 

Best regards to all of you.

Henry

 

Very sorry to hear this Henry, my thoughts are with you.

Thanks fellas!  I always appreciate the kind words and encouragement.  

 

Superb color Marc

H.

 

 

These are wonderful, Marc. I particularly love the swirling colours in the first shot.

 

 

Sublime colors, Marc.  I Esp love the first one.

 

 

 

 

This is sterling stuff Marc.

Thanks Eoin.....the SWC may not be the most compact tool for the street.  However at f/8 it does become, more or less, a 21mm point and shoot (in 35mm terms) for subjects within 8-10 feet.   Set it to shoot at hyper-focal, point, compose....click. 

 

Great stuff, Marc - Inspiring!

Eoin is the SWC the fixed Hasselblad 500 look alike??

 

Neil....not sure I'd call is a look alike....the SWC is more or less a Lens with a film back attached.  

 

Here's my walking stick:

In my view,  the photographer adds to the shot.  Capturing the silhouette as you did makes it more than just another fireworks shot.  Maybe crop a little off the top and bottom?

 

Another fireworks shot with a photographer in the way of a good picture.

Thanks Marc, Mike and James for your support .

My sister had a stroke and the mortality rate is high after one year, 28% may die.

Here's my walking stick:

 

Marc, from what I read, the image size of this camera largely exceeds the MF digital

something as more than 7000 px in length , with the advantages of the film ie softness of the lines

and perfect color

 

Best

Henry
