Another Tri-X, SWC shot. Yes, A16 is 6x4.5 or thereabouts. Back in the day, shooting weddings was more economical on 6x4.5 for obvious reasons, and I had a conversion system in my old Rollei. Even with the 500C/M it was easy, the back usually came with a mask which slipped over the focus screen. No such luxury with the SWC, I have been looking for a V/F mask, to no avail. I simply guessed, and to be fair, using an SWC is a bit of guesswork anyway, quite a bit. Gary 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted March 15, 2017 Share #29223 Posted March 15, 2017 Nice one Adam See, if one just starts looking for them, reflections are everywhere. One for Philip, from Hong Kong, with the Oly XA and Portra 400 I like this one a lot Richard. Very nicely lined up all around. A couple with SWC/M, Tri-X Love this one, very funny. In the context of travel, I think the 21SA would more than do the job - I took mine on a big trip recently - but as you know, there's nothing quite like using the SWC. Unless you're free from time pressure/have dedicated photography time available, I'd just take the M6 gear. Another 21SA travel shot, a bit 'unique' with colour film but I like it. The 40cm MFD is a real bonus, selfies are back on the menu (my arms reach doesn't get the film plane to 70cm) - fun for random family shots - or just a bit of spray and pray at f8 too. That's a cool plane Gary. Righto, all this SWC talk, time for another. SWC FP4+ R09 1:50 Gary I like the composition a lot on this one with the rail tracks leading the eyes to the two figures in the distance.

gbealnz Posted March 15, 2017 Share #29224 Posted March 15, 2017 Since it is his thread, I feel it's appropriate to let you all know I heard briefly from Henry. He has been away from home, unexpectedly, attending to an urgent family matter. He had little or no internet and has just returned home. No doubt once he gets his feet on the ground he will be back but until then he wanted me to pass on his gratitude for all the messages and your concerns.

chrism Posted March 15, 2017 Share #29225 Posted March 15, 2017 I also had an e-mail from Henry. I advised him to take his time and not feel it necessary to rush back into forum life until he is ready. Chris 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted March 15, 2017 Share #29229 Posted March 15, 2017 Very nice one, Adam. It seems like a cracker of a lens. I'm still trying to get my head around how Porta 400 looks when pushed. For this roll did you expose and develop at EI800 or did you shoot it at 400 and then develop at EI800? Now I'm on to a few samples from my other new man toy, the tiny 28mm f3.5 Minolta TC-1.

A miller Posted March 15, 2017 Share #29232 Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks, Gregor. Needless to say, I like this style, too Adam, the sample looks great ... and the photo also, of course. I love this style ... Best Gregor Hi Philip - thanks a lot. You are correct that I exposed the film at 800 and developed it at 800. I do this with my Leicas to get a 1/1000 shutter speed in good sunlight. With these compact cameras it is somewhat less of an issue due to the max 1/500 shutter speed, although the TC-1 does go up to 1/750. Very nice one, Adam. It seems like a cracker of a lens.

Nope, simple walk about torpedo. And further confusing matters, I used an older untested A16 back, so the top and bottom frame edges were a complete and utterly guess. To add insult, the back needed a new light seal, but I've now sorted this. Gary 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something about the Superia films I find to be fascinating. Looking at this photograph, it occurs to me, this impresses as a monochrome shot that has been converted to color. I know that such a thing may sound ridiculous, but it is the best way I can describe it. I do not see the same characteristic in other color films. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted March 16, 2017 Share #29239 Posted March 16, 2017 Adam, I like your snow in NY images in general, but may I make a suggestion? Try, as an experiment, turning your flash power down by, say, 50+% to see the difference. IMO, that would add to the environmental influence effect of cold and bleak. I think the images would gain more 'reality'. Just my opinion and I get that you may not agree. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the images would gain more 'reality'. Just my opinion and I get that you may not agree. Thanks, Erl. I always appreciate your insights and comments. With all respect, what you are suggesting is just not my style. It might be yours - if you were to fall off of the deep end and seek to do something like this. But it aint mine. Further, from a technical standpoint, lowering the power of the flash that much will require me to open up the lens by at least a stop (from f8 to f5.6, perhaps even more) which will not only meaningfully reduce the zone of focus (which I heavily rely on) but also lose that pulsating ZAP that I am seeking (which I guess you are looking to un-seek ) I just love the ZAP that I get b/c it is just enough pulsation to not blow the highlights in the face. This is not so easy to do when you are 1-1.5 meter away! I feel like you are looking for that smooth indoor controlled professional portrait session look. But that is simply not what I am after. If that is what I get, it is not what I intended. The photo I just posted is to me a masterpiece of NYC humanity. I can't this so strongly for all of the photos like this that I shared; but this one is a killer in my opinion insofar as my target end result is concerned... I have no problem - and very much welcome - suggestions on other techniques and methods for approaching a given genre or type of photography, provided that it is all geared toward achieving the end artistic result that I desire....
