Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Hey Gary - I actually am quite different with my 35mm workflow and don't use any meter.   Many of these ones from the market came out on the contrasty side b/c I needed the speed.  It is hard to shoot people in candid situations using zone focusing with a shutter under 1/60.  The market is not very bright and I needed all the speed that I could get.  So I wasn't able to flood the portra with light like I might have liked.  But I still made due... :)

 

As I said above the use of your Leica M-A brings a "plus" to your photos

It's very special , in comparison with your MF pictures in example

My feeling is at work :)

This last one is superb , scene,color

Thanks Adam

I like the moment you captured but wondered how you managed to fit the 50 Summicron DR onto the M6 as I understood that they are not compatible. Did you modify the lens?

 

Best regards,

 

C. 

 

Christoff - Thanks.

There's no problem in using the DR sum micron on the film M cameras — it only needs to have the cam filed down for use of the digital Ms. After the filing down, it can still be used on the film Ms, but in the close-up range (with the goggles). When I had the cam filed down I did not expect ever to shoot film again. Now I regret it and wonder whether it's possible to find and old lens and have the cam replaced on mine. However, looking at it realistically, it's not such a big deal to have the 0.55-1.0m close-up range: in the dynamics of street photography, it's not that convenient to be switching to the close-up range whenever you need to focus at less than 1m. And if you want to do (moderate) macros the Macro-Elmar-90 has a much more useful close=up range.

Gary it seems for me that you go back to b&w , am i right ? :)

Very nice picture

Thanks

Henry

Sort of Henry. This was from a recent roll I put through a new to me M6. The Fomapan 200 come with a less than glowing reputation but after seeing these I can't see why.

 

I plan to run a roll or two of colour through the R8 in the near future.

Thanks, Henry. On this particular roll of film that's as much contrast as I can get. In using stand development with Rodinal, the lab made a mistake and developed two rolls in a 600ml tank — that does not give enough Rodinal (you need 3.5–5.0ml per roll) in a 1:100 dilution. Therefore, the negatives were so underdeveloped that they could never be printed using an enlarger. The Lightroom histogram shows  just a narrow "blip". It was very difficult to get even this contrast range: even tiny movement of the Black and White or Exposure or Contrast sliders would make huge changes in the image and blow it out in one direction or the other.

I see you!!!

Me, in the WalMart parking lot shooting at my wife who's shooting back!

I can't wait until my black Trip 35 gets here...what a fun little camera.

The second image is a good friend of ours who is moving away and when we visited her at work, I took a picture of the three friends and brought back a framed 4x6 for her to take with her.

She loved it.

THIS is one reason that I love taking pictures; to make other's happy.

Thanks, Gentlemen. I appreciate your time in sorting through these with me. They are pretty random and voluminous and so only at the end of my editing and sharing here will I go back and do some serious paring for a possible series.

 

Christoph - Thanks for the detailed comments. I made a huge mistake of shooting this market a few years ago in B&W. Assuming one can manage the heavy tungsten indoor lighting, for me the colors are really part of the interest. Not to say one can't get capture timeless and classic scenes with B&W. Perhaps I will dabble with some tri-x next summer; but it wouldn't be my main workflow.

 

As for the portra 800. I really don't find it much different than the portra 400. It is a little warmer/orangy, which I frankly don't think would have worked out better with the artificial lighting. And it is considerably more expensive. The portra 160 would have been great if speed wasn' an issue as it is more pastel. But @ 800 I was having a hard time keeping f5.6 @1/125, which was difficult enough to zone focus with. I probably could have opened up another stop if the DOF wasn't an issue.

 

I think my lab in Israel developed the film in a way hat rendered a bit warmer than what I am typically used to getting. No matter as this is easily adjustable in post.

 

Here's another with my SWC and Ektar.... (tripod, GG, spot meter :) :) )

Cheers Adam. Sunny 16 even I can manage, outdoors. But indoors, well, it becomes a lottery to me (and I suspect, most).

Nice series any which way you get the exposure sorted.

Gary

Adam,

 

In my view you captured exactly the right moment in #3 and #4. I do like your use of colour in those market pictures, and agree that Portra 400 copes well colour-wise - perhaps even better in this instance than Portra 160 (though I would probably have opted for B&W myself - but that is an entirely different story). I'm also wondering how Portra 800 would have fared as I saw it has an even more pastell-like complexion. Finally I think that your Elmarit works really well here - not too sharp and not too smooth - if you know what I mean.

 

Best regards,

 

Christoph

Lovely series Adam. The Portra colours are working beautifully with the available light and look nicely saturated and true to life.

 

Cheers

 

J :)

Adam I confirm it's a another camera , another aspect , another style

Not the same tone than with your M-A.

Thanks for posting

 

As said one famous photograph "Each new film is a new sensor" I must add today 

"Each new camera is a new sensor" :D

Looks good, and probably combines well with those tasty looking saucissons that can be detected on the right ...
