From my latest outing on the Marlborough Downs.

1) Folds in the landscape. Looking south across Pewsey Vale. Portra 160.

2) Looking east up Pewsey Vale in Wiltshire. Hasselblad 500C, Planar 80mm, Ektar 100.

Very cool shot Wayne, I really like the crop and framing. Is this the rare-as-hens'-teeth-almost-impossible-to-find 28 Skopar? 

 

 

 

Yes, it is. As I have two Leica LTM 28mm lenses, I almost convinced myself that I did not need the lens. Ultimately, the fact that the VC goes to 3.5 persuaded me to go for it. I have no regrets. Aside from the fact that the rendering is fun to view, the build quality gives up nothing to the Leica lenses.

I like this "natural" and "homogeneous" * black as I said to Coogee and you ?

 

Henry

* not artificial "banding" and "unhomogeneous"  !

You seem to be able to make magic with that SWC Adam, but if I was brutally honest, the foreground lower right "annoys" me.

No way have I taken anything that good, so I am a poor critic, but the boulder/rock which is silhouetted competes for attention to my mind.

Hello Gary & Henry,

 

I would disagree.

 

I think the boulder in the lower right corner gives balance which would, otherwise, be lacking.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Gary, Henry and Keith - Thanks for your feedback and I cannot and shall not defend that boulder!  Rather, I shall re-take sans boulder!

Philip - That's an amazingly cool photo.  The color palette rocks.

Charles - Thank you very much for your feedback and enduring kindness to everyone.

Keith (again!) - both very successful shots with spot-on colors.

Nice color Adam and great work.

I agree with Gary

Adam, an interesting discourse on the fragile world of self publishing and preferences (this and the rest of the interaction(s)) as I much prefer the printed medium. I too enjoyed my introduction to the diverse and interesting New Yorker through your creative eye!

Another slightly bizarre observation, again from the lovely island of Gotland.

Agree with Gary etc - a really powerful image - except for that boulder!   ;)

@ Keith (M)

 

"Two more views of Pewsey Vale & the Marlborough Downs escarpment from my Hasselblad 500C / Planar 80mm. First is on Portra 160, second on Ektar 100."

 

I particularly like the rendering of the trees in the foreground of the second shot.

I was off for a while . Too much work lead to a - pneumonia / lung inflammation. Things are ok now... but I missed a lot of Your pics. Also, I'll be off ( without computer ) for a couple of weeks in January / February as I have to slow down due to my health problems. Nothing heavy now, but I do not want to freak around with that kind of things.

On the other hand, I was allowed to get some nice vintage toy from Santa Claus ( on December 6t we have this Holy Man who comes to children who have been kind and gentle all year long...;-) ) and so he brought me a ... well these are some shots of the first film I shot with it. The camera was built from 1956 to 1959. But it has a much longer story, of course. I think there must be some of You who know immediately.

Film is - as usual - Kodak Tri-X 400. Rollfilm / 120

Here are the pics, taken on a short walk around the house. Hope You enjoy.

Thank you, Michael, for sticking up for my boulder.

My boulder has taken a beating today; good thing it is a boulder :)

I think the only way to resolve this is to re-take the shot w/o the boulder and then compare it to the one with the boulder.

Thanks again,

Adam

Good health to you Jean-Marie. I don't think my goodness this year reached medium-format sized proportions but I will keep believing right up to the end. Rest well and keep exposing the film.

 

This was the best from my first attempts at using a 110m Zeiss Planar with the Hasselblad on the (sleepy local Sunday morning) streets.

With Acros

And a couple with the 60mm CF Zeiss and Acros again

As much as I love the 'Blad (and love it I do), I'm increasingly missing being able to shift the lens when buildings are in frame. When I look at my shots with far too much foreground, ready to be 'cropped anywhere', I can hear the little squeaking of the knob on the Mamiya 645 shift lens in my head! Maybe I should pick one up on the cheap,

t's that feature that puts me off saving for the (now disproportionate to value to me) SWC, not that it stops those of you making great images with one, but squeak squeak squeak..
