Here are two photos of a lioness we were able to follow for a while. When we arrived she had just hunted and we could observe her trying to teach her cubs how to eat (in the photos to come). You see one of the cubs in the background, being more interested in playing around than eating.

Philip, beautiful , faithful color and softness in looking at these photos,

not possible with the digital in the current state of the sensors.

I do not understand that there are still people who have not noticed that

and not understand this gap in the digital  !

 

Again superb pictures Philip , you must print and put all of them in a book !

Thanks

Best

Henry

What is striking when looking at one picture film is first of all "soft" lines, color fidelity,

"non-aggressive" to the eyes, not "flat",not synthetic (where everything is net , too sharp

even).

 

Look at this picture of this natural and wild flower (not possible in digital as I just said above

in my comment on the photos of Philip)
 

Sweetness , color , bokeh ....

Thanks, Phil.  That's funny.  I go back and forth myself :)

Adam I am now seriously worried that I might be enjoying your Tri-X blizzard shots even more than the colour ones! What a predicament!

 

Thanks, Eoin!!

Excellent, Adam!

Hello everybody and a big thanks for your support!

 

I do feel specially greatful because I lost my beloved 903SWC in a burglary we had during Christmas.

The thief, who came through a window on the second floor, crashed both of my Hasselblad cameras when he tried to escape.

Fortunately, Hasselblad could repare one, but the SWC was too damaged to work on.

We were asleep, when it happened, but my husband woke and the thief disappeared over the roofs in our street.

Very much like the 'cat' in an old Hichcook film.

 

Anyway, all of you with an SWC can imagine how I feel...

I'am still waiting for insurance to pay up and this is and has been very frustating times.

 

Thank you again to all of you!

All the best, Xenia

 

Xenia - That is a horrible story, the loss of your SWC being the least horrible.  I can't imagine being violated like that and what that would do to my sense of security.  I am really sorry that happened to you!

You are right, of course, Adam!

 

That awful feeling, that somebody had been in our bedroom while we were sleeping, taking my iPhone from my side, is hard to get over with. I guess now, three month later, the loss of my favorite camera stands for the violation of privacy and security. Because otherwise, how could we sleep again safely...

 

Thank you for understanding!

Best, Xenia

Lovely photograph, Henry. You've made very good use of the narrow depth of field. I also like the framing a lot.

Thanks for making an appearance, Harold :)

outstanding !

 

Thanks, Philip.  Yes, my 28 was busy at work here, with constant wipe-downs from my microfiber-cloth :)

Very cool, she looks quite distressed. Was this with the 28? Then you were clooooose :)

I think I've come to the end of my experiments, with ISO 800 now completed. It seems it's easy to pull XP2, and to push to 800 and 1600. 3200 is hit and miss as being a half-stop out in the exposure ruins the picture. Here's an example of ISO 800, using HC-110 1+49, for 13.5 minutes:
