Here's another favourite from my oeuvre of Kodachrome pictures:

Well done Phil at the right moment à la manière de Henri Cartier Bresson

Possibly a decent advertising campaign by the Tourist Bureau. It is sparsely populated evidently, about 4 and a bit million. Still overcrowded if you ask me (and most NZ'ers).

From a short distance away from the alpaca shot. We have been visiting quite a few vineyards of late.

Same camera/film details. It started out as three images, and I stitched them together in CS6.

Nice work, Gary!

I've returned to this image several times.  It's a brilliant, captivating documentary record and a painful reminder of what we lost when Kodak deprived us of K64.

 

It's an image that deserves an award.  Much enjoyed!

I agree - It's got something of the 'Museum diorama' to it, which I find fascinating. A wonderful capture!

Fere en Tardenois Castle 13th century

Feb 2017

 

 

Kodak Portra 160-Leicaflex SL-Summicron 50

The SL a little heavy works admirably :)

I always enjoy your quiet 'landscape' photographs, Henry and this is no exception. I think 35mm film is well suited to the type of photograph that isn't of the "grand vista" variety (for which larger formats tend to work better) and your photos really make the most of the smaller format. You are also demonstrating what a fine lens that Summicron-R is (in the process showing how futile it can be to pay the biggest bucks for the 'latest-and-greatest').

Thanks Ian for your comment.

An old , very old camera still can give nice picture

and yes a R Summicron is still a great lens

ha, ha, Henry, this one is from Wall Street on a recent sunny afternoon.

 

 

Blimey, looking at how everyone seems to be dressed, I thought it was from last summer. What happened to all the snow you are supposed to have in Jan/Feb?  :D

Ha, ha, that's funny.

 

We have had some crazy weather this winter. At some points in December we reached the high 60s F, which was quite lovely. Perhaps my classification of "recent" was a bit off in the normal sense. In the sense of my long end-to-end workflow it is actually quite recent :)

This is great, Gary. It's a shot I'd like to see printed large. And impressive stitching too. I never get the images to look so completely seamless together. Any tips?

 

 

 

Thank you Philip.

No real tips, I took three frames, and possibly could have used just the two, I like a bit more overlap.

 Aligned them within Photoshop, and blended the edges as well, sometimes I use the eraser tool to make the edges a bit softer.

I had plenty of practice when I was shooting solar Ha pictures, I could post one but it's with non-Leica, a webcam no less. I can e mail you one if you like. These solar shots were often composites of nine or more separate shots.

With that sort of work you either get good or give up.
