EoinC Posted January 16, 2017 Share #26192 Posted January 16, 2017 Thank you for those thoughts, Henry. Film photography certainly is, for me, what enjoyment in photography is about. Another picture. I call it Chelsea Suite because I think I may have been walking through the Chelsea neighbourhood of New York when I took it, although in fact I have little idea where I was at the time (I'd stepped down from the High Line and was looking for a subway station). Anyway, I kind of like the choreography: M6TTL, Summicron 35mm, K2, Tri-X I like this shot a lot, Phil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted January 16, 2017 Share #26196 Posted January 16, 2017 Reflection of a " anonymous" photographer in 2017 After more than 1000 pages of beautiful pictures here and after seeing that you take out all your old devices 24x36 like MF, I ask myself the following questions : -"Does digital still have a future with us ?" ... with photos of MF with absolute clarity beating by far the most expensive MF digital or the most expensive 24x36 , showing photos with a tonality, contrasts and definition nicer than digit. , without the aggressive side of square pixels smoothed in cutting line. -"Is there still need to invest in the digital" with its expensive price camera , with this unreasonable and disproportionate pixels race (we have a lot of pixels with film much more than digital) or Isos race (the Kodak TX 400 pushed or not pushed , gives pictures to do pale the MM1 without removing its charm, its “soul” to the b&w photo). For me , my desire for 2017 is to buy an M-A (like Eoin his Canon) and to take out my two old DSLRs , which remain in the bottom of my Billingham bag ,still operational , after 45 years of photos and without spending a penny ... penny and money I keep to pay my travels ... to take pictures Great thanks for your superb pictures posted in this thread It's because of you I write this message Best wishes and good photos Henry There seems to be more than enough people who value what film photography offers to ensure its survival and health for some time to come. There has never been a time when film was better, and we are seeing the return of Kodak’s Ektachrome, and even some discussion of Kodachrome (even this discussion amazes me). I think digital photography will continue to occupy the middle of the road. Its practical advantages for the average person are clear. There is some parallel to 1888 when George Eastman introduced his first roll film camera – its technical advantages were evident, and there was no turning back for most people who wanted easy shots of their cousin’s birthday party or their summer vacation. It was good and it was easy. The issue is much less clear for “serious” photographers. Film continues to provide hugely competent options for quality picture making. It also offers something intangible – there is a look to well done film photography (particularly B&W) that is unique. Opinions differ – but current films, today’s wonderful developers, printed by a skilled hand, provide something that is both beautiful and unavailable from any other source. And wonderful equipment continues to be available, often used at excellent prices. I think printing is important. The end goal, as I see it, is a finely tuned and well-presented paper print. It is a skill that is underplayed and not discussed enough – it is not easy and really good printing is not done by a digital algorithm. And it has to be learned in an organized way, generally from someone else who has the skills, and crucially someone who knows what a good print looks like (avoiding the "it is great because I did it and I like it" nonsense). The evidence that I see is that the full range of possibilities is most available from modern film and paper in the hands of a committed practitioner/artist. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Michael , thanks for your useful comment I really forget to speak one of the most important point it's "print" ! Thanks Michel for reminding this point ! Print , the culmination of all your work , specially for monochrom photographer , it's really nicer in comparison with inkjet print who needs computer , software and algorithm as you said !

A miller Posted January 16, 2017 Share #26200 Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Another from icy Central Park, NYC... The walkway on the left was PACKED with people and the water was crowded with ducks.... A regular exposure with the Ektar would have given 1/4 or so of a shutter speed which would have produced a photo cluttered with blobs of people and ducks annoyingly blurred. So I decided to remove the blobs with an ND filter. With the reciprocity failure, the exposure was in the 90 second range... I also put on a 2 stop medium LEE ND grad to bring down the EVs in the top part of the frame) Impressively, the two ducks in the foreground were literally frozen in their place for the entire exposure!
