In which case you may (or may not!) recognise these two photos.  Olympus Trip 35, Agfachrome, 1967.

 

Fantastic, Keith (M). Thank you for these. Yes, I recognise the places. I can remember the colour of the water in the river.

 

My family left Malaysia in 1968. We sailed from Port Klang (then Port Swettenham) for Chennai (then Madras). 

 

Here is one I took in 2014 of the confluence of the Gombak and Klang rivers in KL. The confluence has since been cast in concrete!

Another transparency from the archives. Pentax ME Super, Vivitar Series 1 70-200mm Zoom. Fujichrome (probably). Summer 1984.

 

Afloat on the Vierwaldstättersee (Lake Lucerne)

 

 

Your scanned slides really glow! What makes them standing out? Is it the scanner, the scanning, what? Anyway, very impressive posts!

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...

Impressively, the two ducks in the foreground were literally frozen in their place for the entire exposure!

Thanks, Henry.  I print all of my color photos on Fujiflex high gloss paper through Whitewall in Germany.  The paper is expensive (though Whitewall reasonable prices, cheaper than NYC) but sublime.    https://us.whitewall.com/photo-lab/photo-print/fuji-flex-oce#tjn=f&t=produkt-details

Really cool photo Adam, and also 'cool' because one can almost feel the temperature. I like how you retained life in brightest part of the sky too. Did you have to correct verticals much?

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:

Like this picture very much - geart shot !

Thanks, Philip. Not much correction is needed with the SWC given the quality of the Biogon lens. As long as the spirit level is faithfully used all is typically ok. These types of scenes are a particular challenge, though, given the placement of the building on different planes of the scene.

Thank you Paul, for a very unexpected comment :)   I scanned them with my Epson V700 using Epson Scan on 'auto everything', imported into LR, clicked on 'auto tone', played about with a few sliders and well, that is about it apart from lots of cloning/healing of dust and other blemishes.

 

Whilst I am here, here is a second one from Lake Lucerne taken during an evening stroll in 1984.

Keith you make me want to retrieve my slides from the attic where they sit in airtight boxes. It's a pity I don't have a 6x6 cm scanner I shot and E6 developed my best stuff with a Mamiya C330S and Yashicamat 124G in the 1990's. Perhaps if I'm not so busy in work after mid-February I will have a go. Anybody know how to scan 6x6 on a budget? I've tried a flat bed Epson Perfection Scanner and a Cannoscan, but found the process too time consuming and tedious. Moreover I wasn't happy with the resolution.

 

Thank you for sharing your work and laying the gauntlet down and challenging those of us with hidden archives.

I used a Leica BEOON for a while, still have it, but it is now surplus. Now use an old by adequate Epson 4870.

Zeiss Ikon Contessa, TriX, Rodinal

Back garden of old resort house "Acorn House." It is a kind of magic place. I wondered how many marriage proposals, or even weddings, took place here in late 1800s or early 1900s.

Love your photos, Wayne.  You really get a feeling of rural America.
