Sort of an abstract from Isola d'Elba in Italy. Not that that matters of course; it could have been shot anywhere there's a grand piano, a plant and a lamp. Btw, this is on the old version of Tri-X, code 5063, which some people like a lot (Pico, I'm looking at you if you're watching). I have a bulk roll that expired quite a while a go. Still it took the better part of two years for the curl to disappear (that's how far back my scanning backlog goes...).

This is my faveriout 8x10 picture so far. Yesterday morning while out riding on my mountain bike, I accidentally came across this small track, my gut felling was to go and explore it, but my head was saying forget it Neil, stick to what you already know. Anyway as usual my stubborn head kicked in and off I popped into the unknown............ with shit like, how the f@ck am I going to explain this to Nuk, if I come off (you know what Im talking about).

 

Anyways off I popped and about 5 minutes into the ride I went past these big trees on my left and then some more on my right and I guess my photography insect kicked in and I stopped and thought "That might make a picture". So later after I got home I told Nuk about my adventures in the morning on the bike and automatically her instincts kicked and she started getting onto me about my age my stupidity  etc etc (should have kept my mouth shut :(

 

Anyway after lunch, me and Nuk went to check the place out, Nuk carrying the tripod and me with the Chamonix. When we arrived at the spot that I saw in the morning (it was still there) I started to get sup up and Nuk started bitching about the mosquitos and the heat. As often as I can I keep her on my left side as that is deaf from 37 years of Oil Field abuse. I continued to set up the camera. The weather was so so, but once I got the competition that I was looking for I went ahead and loaded the film, at the same time the sun decided to pop its butifun head out and gave me some nice light.

 

I took three pictures. The one below is my favouiout. The other two had one with Nuk in it and one with me in it............I might post them later, but for now enjoy what I feel is my best 8x10 up to now as it has meaning to me, it was something that I saw and though, that could be nice.

 

There is very little PP in this, it actually took me longer to do the frame than the PP.

 

This afternoon I am going to shoot some birds with a birding friend of mine, tomorrow I will try and make a contact print of this.

Frim Nature Trail 

 

Terrific shot, Neil. I like the simple composition a lot. And a very amusing story too.

I agree with Philip.

Nice framing and composition in realizing this picture Neil

The softness of the picture gives a plus in comparison with digit.

Thanks

Thank you Henry. I've been a bit lazy in starting the film. 5222 is Kodak's numerical code for 35mm Double-X which is a black and white cine film one can buy on bulk. I like this film a lot because of its versatility. Nominally the ISO is 200 or thereabouts but it responds well to pushing, even up to EI800-1000. And it dries f.l.a.t. much in the same way Tri-X doesn't.

I haven't changed development though, but used Diafine for these rolls. I always post-process my scans though so that explains the different look of the photos. Sometimes i go for a cleaner look to play around with tones etc and sometimes i go for a more contrasty look. I did take these two photos hoping to get some interesting tones so that's what i tried to achieve in post.

Thank you for your reply Philip.

I see it's a film for movie

More purple. I count about five of six different shades on one flower.

Lovely photo, Ramesh. Acros is probably my favourite b&w medium format film. I'm currently awaiting delivery from Maco for my upcoming vacation.

I like it a lot, Wayne. Delightful colour. Vista 200 is one of my favourite films with terrific results for very reasonable money (and pushes well too). What kind of flower is this btw?

Clematis. It is a climbing vine that seems to rejuvenate throughout the late spring and summer. Since my wife planted them four or five years ago they have become a real favorite of mine. Like the lily, the variants of color seem endless.

That is spectacular; the sort of photo that merits its own wall. :)
