Howard , this picture is taken "against light"  isn't (I call in "contre-jour") :)

You are not afraid you lose the contre-jour with filter ? just a question :)

Henry

If the direction of the light was from in front of the lens then there would be a risk of reflections from the filter glass showing on the photo. In this case only the plant was brightly lit which is what drew my attention to it. The light was more from the side so in this case there was no risk of the sun causing refections off the filter glass.

Yes, he did.  :)

Adam, may be "hairy" is more adapted but he looks like almost a bear from back :D

 

I'll try that one on my wife...with my helmet strapped on tight bracing for her response!

If you've got it, flaunt it...

 

Love this one, Wayne  The composition is strong, imho stronger than the second.

You guys are so fast (and brilliant) every day :-)...

On Monday 3, the Tour de France passed by at the place we live. So we made a bike tour and I loaded the small Rollei 35S and shot a 400 TriX film. Develloped in HC110. Not great pieces of art, but the Tour de France doesn't pass by here every day, so ;-)

Thanks. I had to be pretty fast. S, the guy in the photo, moves pretty fast.

Ok well, I am officially amazed.

 

I decided yesterday to try my new lens, the 40mm Distagon CFE and to do that with a roll of XP2 and to develop that roll in HC-110, just to see if I'd get anywhere near the nice results Chris showed earlier in the thread.

 

The lens performs beautifully and is a joy to use. I decided to challenge it a bit in the second photo and it came out ok. The development went well too, with the exception that the negs are, for lack of a more accurate description, completely p.i.n.k.

 

After re-fixing for a long time and re-washing for an even longer time, I can conclude that the negs will remain pink (in honour of which I am today wearing a pink shirt). In any event, they scan beautifully.

 

I shot these at the native ISO 400 and like a lot what I see. There's virtually no grain, which I guess isn't so strange, but the tones are quite nice too. The scans hold up amazingly well in post, too.

 

I'll be bringing XP2 in both 135 and 120 on my vacation the coming two weeks, and will try it at EI800 and, perhaps, at EI1600 too.

Excellent tonality, Philip! The flare in the second shot is very esthetic.

Nicely done, Philip! Yes, they will be pink or purple, but that doesn't affect scanning. The base colour is why XP2 negatives require longer exposure in the darkroom than silver halide films. One reason for a presoak of three minutes or so is to try to remove some of that colour, and it works better on 120 film (which pours out purple) than 35mm (which has but a little tint to it).

 

I'm on my way home today after a trip around Cape Breton, so there will be some developing to do when I get back. I hope some of Henry's ancestors were at Fortress Louisbourg, as I should have some photographs...
