A miller Posted June 2, 2017 Share #33521 Posted June 2, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Phil, Gregor, Gary, Henry, Philip - Sincere thanks. Thank you sincerely Adam. "Golden Hour" is among your finest - a thoroughly captivating view on lower Manhattan, captured in the magical light that so earns its name. Wonderful. Adam, I really like your "blue hour" but this photo is absolute fantastic. Great work!! Best Gregor Another wow shot Adam. Gary First one is truly superb, Phil. Very well done. I think this is the best version of the scene so far, Adam. Wonderful color Gary specially the first. You are now good expert , both in color and b&w Who said Leicaflex is "obsolete" ? I say also "Wow" as Gary So "Wow,Wow" (double wow) for Adam Henry Lovely, clean scans, Jip. Back from Madrid and have been scanning non stop the past few hours 4 rolls scanned 3 to go! I've got plenty to post the coming weeks ^^ Leica R8 Summicron-R 1:2,0/50mm Kodak Portra 160 Old technology. Batteries not required. Panjiayuan Antiques (Dirt) Market – Beijing. XP2-Super for anyone who cares. Christoph - Love the "barn-door" dark background effect of these. Gregor, Thanks for your comments. While the main point of photography is - of course - the picture, I thought at least some on this forum may be interested in the film used, and a comparison picture - even if not shown side by side - can make it clear what impact the choice of film can have in the final result. I find that, as a photographer, making portraits in the street, I have to interact in some ways with my subjects. Some of them clearly have - how shall I put it - different interests/cultures from those that I normally pursue/are engulfed in, and I find those interactions enriching as I get insights that I would never have got without a camera... So when I set out I had not idea what I would find and how people would react. And all of the people on the pictures were extremely friendly and helpful, were proud to show the pieces of art embedded in their skins, and I am happy to show them, even though - like you - I am not a fan of tattoos myself. One of the persons who was just leaving the tattoo convention centre sported a newly set tattoo, still covered in a transparent foil, which I understand is put on top of the tattoo to stop bleeding from the needle. He also proudly mentioned the name of the artist, which unfortunately was lost on me for above mentioned reason... 170408_2_M4-P_0013.jpg M4-P, 35, Rollei IR400, 92 Filter, exposed at 25ASA, developed in Rodinal 1:50 Best regards C. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Michael, Nice photo. Describing location, camera, film, lens, settings, etc adds a lot to any photo. It would be nice if people did it for each photo. By the way, can you guess why the horns on the left & on the right, along with the horn in the back left are called "morning glory" horns?

stray cat Posted June 3, 2017 Share #33536 Posted June 3, 2017 Very beautyful, congrat! Phil, Thank you for your well-chosen words, that, to me, capture so well a lot of what I feel, see and experience on this thread. And also thank you for your pictorial contributions; quite frequently you show those iconic pictures, the B&W rowers are just one of them, that remind me why I love photography, and that show the endless possibilities that we have to freeze a small piece of time onto paper. Regards, Christoph Thank you very much, Stefan and Christoph. It is well put Christoph, as this thread constantly reminds me what there is to love about photography - your portraits, Christoph, taken in Melbourne the same day a whole bunch of us were cruising the same area looking for pictures perfectly show what incredible diversity in vision we all have, even with the same interests and gear and all the rest of it. Henry's ability to go from the most beautiful pictures of poppies (perhaps we should call him "Pop" Henry!) to disturbing pictures illustrating the awful effects of global warming; Wayne's pictures (such as those above) which illustrate the beauty in the subtleties of quotidian life (both now and historically); Adam's incredible series in the bllizzards and the truly masterful work he always does on the cityscape of New York; Chris' tender and beautiful pictures of Pippa, his life-partner - and all of the other wonderful photographers and pictures on here (and my apologies if I haven't mentioned you, but EVERYONE who contributes here in such a spirit of generosity) - all of these people and pictures compel me to come back and learn and take inspiration from this thread. And it really means something when then I next venture out with a camera - I feel (like we all do) that I really want to contribute something worthwhile to this rich thread. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted June 3, 2017 Share #33537 Posted June 3, 2017 Hello Michael, Nice photo. Describing location, camera, film, lens, settings, etc adds a lot to any photo. It would be nice if people did it for each photo. By the way, can you guess why the horns on the left & on the right, along with the horn in the back left are called "morning glory" horns? Best Regards, Michael Hi Michael, Thanks for your kind note. I hope all is well. I am happy to share location information and related details. I am ambivalent about technical details. Some things are interesting to me – e.g. film. I sometimes state that a picture is made with XP2 Super (my pretty much exclusive film). I do so because I am so impressed with its qualities that I am a bit of a proselytizer. In the case of Leicas, the model is of essentially no importance. Whether I use my M2 or M3 – no impact whatever on the picture. Lens detail even less – whether I use a 50mm Summicron v2or v5 has no practical importance, IMO. I believe the differences are –mainly – not observable. In reality I often don’t remember much. 95% of my pictures are made with a 50mm on XP2 processed in C41 – other details about f and shutter speed simply disappear from my memory. I think my scanner and software are generally irrelevant. On the other hand, I am not doctrinaire on any of this stuff. If anyone is interested, I’ll happily share details and discuss. And sometimes equipment and technical discussions are informative. I just hope that my pictures stand on their artistic merit, and not on what camera body and lens I used. My suspicion about the old horns is that they look awfully like the shape of Morning Glories. My wife would know – I am in charge of the lawns.
