I like it Suede. The hot coals add a very interesting touch. The previous one was a very nice portrait, too.

 

(Vous n'êtes pas suédois, par hasard?)

 

There's so much out of focus here that I can't see where the intended focus was meant to be! There must also be camera shake because it's a handheld shot at slow shutter speed. I still like it for that little red glow of the burning coals.

Very nice Steve, that lens really exaggerates the perspective very effectively. And your explanation made me smile.

 

Old John.  A local folly, it was constructed in 1784 by the 5th Earl of Stamford from local granite so that the Earl and his cronies could watch horse racing in Bradgate Park below.  Given that Leicestershire has a long tradition of brewing the best ales in the world ( ;) ), the outline of Old John is apt.

Well caught, his look really makes the picture.

I am not a fan of the Lomography films ... but here I make an exception :). Nice photo ..

My initial use of the Lomography stuff was the ASA 800. My problem with it was not so much in the photographic result, but rather, in the bahavior of the negatives: while hanging to dry, the roll curled, side to side, to such an extent that it almost took on the appearance of a tube, rather than a strip of film. It took two days, once I managed to get the negatives into a sleeve, under the pressure of a heavy stack of books, to flatten the negatives to the point where I could scan them. I do not plan on buying the 800 again.

 

Thanks for the comment.

Oh yes, I want to get the Dark Side of the Moon reissue. I have it on CD and even that is intense. My modest collection mostly consists of jazz (my fav) so far with a few rock and classical.

I bought Black Sabbath 13 and Metallica Hardwired to self destruct this week

As I said above I just developed one roll of Kodak TMAX 400 the first for a long time

shot with my Leicaflex SL (in the 1970's and revised by Wetzlar)

I'll post some pictures when it's dry

Henry

Eagerly awaiting this roll Henry, I am having somewhat of a renaissance of my own with the R8 and will likely get my SL out for a run soon too.

Apart from the size/bulk/weight I actually prefer the reflex viewing to the M. As you say, for travel it's a no-brainer.

I really like this photo, it looks great for me. And thank you for your advice, now I will never buy this film or any other films from Lomography.

 

Many thanks

Here some pictures Gary with my Leicaflex SL and one roll of Kodak TMax 400

development home in pure Kodak Prof. D76 (info for Philip) :)

 

The first thing I notice, the view through a SLR is different in comparison with a M

secondly the focus is really horizontal and vertical with this type of viewfinder

...  I have not used my SL for a long time :)

They look good Henry, as they should I suppose.

Apart from the weight and bulk, the basic optical and mechanical principal is the same.

You've encouraged me to do the same with mine in the coming months.

Gary old camera but nice shots ! 

I recommand you to use your SL too  :) just try one roll 

sometimes I don't use lighmeter of the SL , but follow the F16 rule !

 

I also get out the R4S (like Minolta SRT101) lighter than SL , I think it's the same box

because Leica worked with Minolta at this period (in the 1980's) .I bought this camera

in 1984 with another Summicron 50.

Just wait for the end of my roll of Kodak TX400 inside, I'll develop and post pictures  :)

The next step test a roll of Kodak Portra and Ektar on both cameras.

Best

Here's one from a spot that I have been hitting a lot as of late.  Waiting for that "wow" sunrise...  I must have gone thee at the crack of dawn a half dozen times in the past few weeks w/o a single snap due to the uninteresting-looking sky.... 

This is not "wow" - but the gradations in the colors is nonetheless pretty, me thinks, and will make a lovely print...

Lower Manhattan, SWC, Ektar

Rolf's wonderful photos are making me think about trying Ilford Delta 100 once more.  A bit slow for my liking, but can't argue with the results. 

 

Here's one from my "pre-Leica" days in 2011.  Ilford Delta 100 with HC-110 dilution H.
