Last humanit mission Sept 2016 Day of departure at sunset in Airbus A 350 Kodak TMAX400-Leica MP-Summilux 50 Asph Image2danairpkodtmaxlfht++++-2-3fois-1000.jpg Best Henry Sincere thanks, Philip. I really appreciate your close look. I have gone back and re-worked some of these, particularly #3, which has the most saturation which Ektar found a little overwhelming. I will post the latest version of that in a minute. Well you certainly haven't made it easy for us this time, Adam It's amazing how much the light changes a scene. This is pretty obvious of course but I hadn't fully appreciated the extent of this change in the context of a sunset. It's difficult to pick one as the 'best' photo but nos 1 and 4 appeal to me the most. The first one because the light is very pleasant and because the image seems to retain a great deal of detail in the buildings. It is a great sunset photo, better than nos 3 and 4 which Ektar seems to have depicted slightly too saturated for my liking. The fourth I like, and perhaps more than no. 1, because it is so unexpected. I would never have thought that the scene would look like that just minutes after no. 3, in particular that the sky would turn so grey. There's a very cool contrast between the greys and reds, like something taken from Sin City, the movie. All this said, though, I think they work best as a series. That strengthens the contrast between them and makes each stand out the most clearly. It also shows what a spectacle a sunset really is. I've always liked the German word for sunset, Sonnenuntergang, the latter part of which (like in Swedish) can mean 'sinking' but also 'going under', 'downfall', 'destruction', 'demise' and 'doom'. All rather powerful words but then again seeing a star disappear, even if only for a night, is pretty massive. br Philip Last sunlight of the day. image133037.jpg Canon Tlb, Canon 50mm 3.5 Macro FL, Agfa vista 200 Gary - you are a great flower photographer.

A miller Posted June 23, 2017 Share #35036 Posted June 23, 2017 This is the most believable and illustrative for me, Adam. Very nice with the combination of ambient and artificial light. Thanks, Steve. It was perhaps in the top two or three sunsets I have ever experienced in NYC. Totally surreal and the Ektar did a superb job of capturing the details in the buildings and bridge despite the very strong backlight. And of course the Biogon was a champ with the minimal vignetting despite some extremely long exposures (2-6 minutes, either b/c of the lack of light or the desire on my part to use a 6 stop ND grad in order to remove the passing ships, which were many but I made them disappear ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share #35037 Posted June 23, 2017 Henry - I don't have a scanner for negatives. I do devellop the photos on Ilford genuine gelatine FB mat paper and am able to scan the photos once they're dry. I'm just up from the darkroom and scanned the same photo my wife scanned on her Epson film scanner and that I posted . I think the way I do is much less perfect. But it does have more athmosphere in my opinion - also, the old enlarger I use crops less of the photo than the scanner does, although the scanner is run on 6x9 program. Here the same picture as yesterday, - but here the whole dark room process is done, I the simply scanned the photo and simply enhanced the contrast in photoshop. Compare by yourself. "Truth" or "perfection" in photography is really a very subjective thing. I often think of Stieglitz when he shot the photo with the horse van in the snow, in New York. His photographer friends all said : Your picture is not sharp, worth nothing. Stieglitz answer was: It looks perfect to me. One of the problems we all do have with digital photography is its perfection. Too much perfection is sometimes closer to Madame Tussaud's wax sculptures ( ...dead images) than to real life. But these are simply my thoughts - You know. I do have no scanner, I do have no Handy ( I-phone, smartphone a.s.o.). My wife does. I still write letters. With a quill or a fountain pen. And shoot vintage cameras... my kids told me I would have been the perfect hipster. When I asked them what they call a hipster they explained that to me. And told me that in my case, I could not be a hipster, as I was a true "vintage" , "made" in the 1950s ;-) That much for today :-) Web.Tour en vélo A.S. Mecher 19.6.17. Voigtländer .jpg If I remember well, this was Tri-X, but stand develloped in Tetenal Paranol S in a 1:100 dilution for one hour and 15 minutes, Henry. I'm a bit upside down with work and in the evening and on rare moments of "freedom" testing this and that so I do not always remember what film I used . For a couple of days now I write down everything - so that I can learn from good moments aswell as from mistakes. I did use some old ( 20 years old...out of the fridge) Ilford and Kodak films recently, so You might be right. I am concentrated on the cams I use - Rolleiflex, Yashicaflex ( also a terrific lens in my eyes, though I had to clean it a bit ) , my dad's Voigtländer and the Leica of course. I am trying to find out what camera / lens / format fits best to my ideas. So most of the time I stick to the Kodak Tri-X, not to get too confused. But I happen to use the older films when test-shooting a "new" cam friends give to me. In case they would not work fine. Mostly they do - even after decades. I'll try to be more rational. It won't be easy, as I still do not know whether I prefer stand devellopment or short time devellopment , Paranol ( softer) or Kodak jelly 1:63 ( more "hardcore") . I'll do my best to take notes in the future. Jean-Marie Here's a Tri-X 400 pic in HC110 in a 1:63 dillution, Voigtländer Bessa from 1948. It is a scan of the film, I shot it 2 days ago and my wife scanned the negatives. Web.Alex Singer on tour 19.6.2017 .jpg Jean-Marie , thanks for your explanation.I understand I think the first picture posted above is a bit nicer but photo of the print is also fine Yes sometimes too much sharp is less nice and I agree with you Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
