Doc Henry Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share #36542 Posted July 20, 2017 I was riding around back in May, and came across the remains of the hydro-electric dam on the Pigg River in Franklin County, VA. I had read about its removal some months before, but the project was well along by the time the Roanoke paper got wind of it. I used a Leica R7 that needed a shake-down run, on Kodak Ektar 100, with the Vario Elmar-R 35-70mm 1:3.5 (my 28mm is in the shop).

Doc Henry Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share #36543 Posted July 20, 2017 I was summoned to our office in Canary Wharf, London, for a couple of days last week. Only had a few small windows of time for some shooting; but I did bring along my Hassy SWC and an agenda... This shot of the 8am morning commute with the motion blur has been on my bucket list.... If you look closely on the second staircase from the right you can see the same balding man riding the escalator most of the way up . And that "ADAM" sign is NOT a watermark :) Canary Wharf Tube Station SWC, Tri-X Canary Wharf.jpg Really superb picture with great geometric composition Adam Is the light inside the tower gives you this little "brownish" tone ?

Keith (M) Posted July 20, 2017 Share #36544 Posted July 20, 2017 I wound up putting together a nice Olympus kit, and then abandoned it. Love the lenses, can't stand the cameras. It took me a long time before I got my first R (3), am now on my second (7), and looking for my third (6.2). I much prefer the handling and operation of the R system gear over the Olympus. But then I'm kind of used to using big old cameras (early Nikon gear). But if you don't need to have the expenditure of a new system, I can understand your sticking with the Olympus. There are plenty of quirks in the R system that a neophyte like myself comes across much to my surprise. That comes from no longer having any kind of a film camera shop within 50 miles, and the ones beyond there are not conversant in the Leica R system. PF I know what you mean about the handling of the camera. When it was given to me a couple of years ago, I was quite taken by its construction and appearance - but then realised how most functions were the reverse of what I was used to - hence it was relegated to the shelf. When potential R lust struck a few weeks ago, I researched what outfit might suit me (R-E or R5 & 35-70mm f4) but before taking the plunge (as I have not used a 35mm SLR for years), I decided to give the Olympus a trial run just to see how using such a camera felt in comparison to a rangefinder. Well, one roll of Acros 100 later, I have to seriously question what benefits the purchase of the R outfit would bring. My OM2n album on Flickr. Of course, the GAS attack has not (yet) finally abated... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted July 20, 2017 Share #36548 Posted July 20, 2017 Wow, Richard, the delicate details of your recent shots really work amazing on this one. There are so many variables, with the lens, film, development, scanning, editing, photographer. Whatever is getting you these results, it is very admirable. ^ LOL!! and a really nice shot to boot. This is the classic 'face height' Aussie spider, patiently waiting for its catch. When I do pre-dawn excursions in local bushland I'm always swishing my tripod ahead as a 'spider shield', getting a face full of web in the dark at 5am is never the best way to start the day. Rolleiflex, Portra 400 Thanks for the feedback Super shot Adam, a really unique combination of telephoto and longer exposure, thanks for sticking around for the golden hour light. Thanks, Christoph. Unlike some people whom I know, I state the film stock used quite prominently just above my photo. (LOL ) It was Tri-X. The exposure was between 3 and 6 seconds, I can't remember. Reciprocity kicks in with Tri-X rather early, at just about a second, and a 2-3 second exposure all of a sudden becomes a 4-6 sec exposure.... Adam,As soon as you put people back into your photography I'm getting more interested .Excellent execution, made me think immediately of Frank Hovarts "gare Saint-Lazare" and some work of Alexey Titarenko.Out of interest, what was the film you used and the exposure time?Rgds and keep it going,Christoph Your photos are really amazing. You make it look easy with the red filter but it is not. You need a lot of atmospherical elements, such as crisp dry air and the right kind of clouds. But you have made it all work so well and have transcended normal tourist snaps into a series worthy of public consumption. Tasmanian Landscape 170412_2_M4-P_0053.jpg M4-P, 28, Rollei IR400, svn Rgds C. Thanks, Philip. Given that I need to use my tripod and the usual deliberate process of framing, metering and waiting for the right time to shoot, I had to focus a lot of my attention on avoiding the line of sight of the police who were everywhere. Whether or not it is strictly legal to shoot with a tripod in the tube station, they don't like it and get very suspicious when they see people taking so many things out of a camera bag like Puerto Ricans coming out of a minivan. I spent a fair amount of time getting the camera level and center, which was the really critical things. I honestly didn't even consider the line in the middle. Probably means that the camera wasn't dead on parallel with the plane of the scene. Not a biggie from my perspective. I added the slight toning in Lightroom b/c to give more of a personal touch and I also think it works well with the mood, which is, after all, created by the glow of the morning sun... It's very cool, Adam. Now owning a 40mm lens for my Hasselblad I am feeling the attraction of shooting wide on MF. Out of curiousity, was there a particular reason you did not line up the floor line vertically? It does add an interesting 'flaw' to an otherwise technically well executed photo. And how did you get it to look a tiny bit sepia? br philip He, he, very funny. I really like my carbon fiber travel tripod. It folds about 12" and fits very neatly in the camera bag. I know women who have purses larger that my travel camera bag! The 'marching ghosts' certainly give the image an unusual atmsophere. Lovely tones and composition. Hasselblad SWC (& tripod) - do they fit in the aircraft overhead stowage? Many thanks, Henry. I added the toning but it does correspond with the color of the light in the station. If I make a wet print I would also add toning... Really superb picture with great geometric composition Adam Is the light inside the tower gives you this little "brownish" tone ?

Doc Henry Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share #36549 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I think when you have a RF you work like me In this picture below, I walk and first I wait for the moment I see the picture I compose inside my head and the frame of RF. I want the vanishing line effect for the picture with the cathedral and the bridge in background and also with the balance between the left side in light and the right side in dark to more highlight this effect All can be seen in a frame and only in few seconds .

AntonioF Posted July 20, 2017 Share #36550 Posted July 20, 2017 Thank you! Thanks Henry! Thank you Steve! I try to always have some sort of camera with me, and keep an eye out for opportunities. Much appreciated Henry and Steve! I do print some of my work, but I don't currently own a full-size photo printer and don't have a location permanent enough for a darkroom, so I usually only make 4x6 prints from a small portable printer that I have for now. I have a few 11x14s, 16x20s and two 30x30s that I had made up at a local lab. Hoping to get an inkjet printer next year, and have room for a darkroom in the next few years. I would really like to get printing on a regular basis. Here's one from last winter. This is from the only FP4 roll that I've shot in 35mm, need to get a few more rolls for landscape work!

Of course, the GAS attack has not (yet) finally abated... I'm guessing you are referring to the shutter dial being around the lens mount when you talk of things being reversed? It doesn't matter a bit if you use it in aperture priority, and even used manually you adapt quickly. The more cameras you use the fewer expectations you have about how they ought to work! Nonetheless, you also come to have preferences for what works best for you, and that's fine. The OM's are smaller and lighter than a Leica M, as are their lenses. The lenses aren't up to Leica standards (no surprise), but they are well made and handle as smoothly as a well-loved Summicron. I love the feel of the tiny prisms on the focusing rings, and talking of tiny prisms, the microprisms on the focusing screen are the very best for older eyes, and you can still buy new screens that have only microprisms and no split image. I'm quite polyamorous when it comes to cameras, but only the M and the OM give me that tactile thrill in usage. I'm plotting a road trip in October, intending to go round the Cabot Trail while the fall colours are out, and hoping to do it in the Miata. I have to choose whether to take a pair of F6s or a pair of OM2ns (one for colour and one for B&W). Space will be severely limited and for this reason I'll probably choose the OMs (I am down to just one Leica, so not an option if I want to have colour and B&W capability). Forgive the evil digital photos: Yes, I used a 35 Lux as I sold the 28 Cron. Perhaps I should just take the Rolleiflex and be done with it!

Notwithstanding that I generally use aperture-priority, the shutter-speed dial is not the most ergonomic I have ever come across. In terms of reversed function I was mainly referring to the aperture selection on the Zuiko 50mm f1.8 - it works in the opposite sense to all my Leica and Zeiss lenses. And yes, I am adapting PS - take the OM's! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkassenkunde Posted July 20, 2017 Share #36555 Posted July 20, 2017 James - I couldn't be more envious of a cinestill user. But I promise that I am not bitter. Sublime blue on this car - wow. Hi James glad see you back after your flood Pictures 2 and 3 have great colors , and Wow for the blue Thank you James taking time to post again Best Henry Thank you, gentlemen! So far I quite like the Cinestill and the 120 seems to have less itches than the 35mm version, where I often found blotches from leftovers of the remjet. Will try out the Cinestill 50D in 120 also, but I think I will wait for the film to come to the shelves here in Europe, as my Kickstarter support for the first batch of the 120 in 800T came a bit pricey, as customs and taxes alone summed up to more than 65€.

Michael Hiles Posted July 20, 2017 Share #36560 Posted July 20, 2017 Japanese Tea House, Les Jardins Quatre Vents, Cap à l’aigle, Québec. This is in a magnificent private garden that was created by Francis Cabot in the last 30 or so years. A Japanese craftsman built the Tea House over a 4-year period. The wood was hand picked, dried for two years; the joinery is all traditional – no nails or screws, or glues. Just tradition. Francis Cabot was one of the Boston Cabots, who apparently only talked to the Lodges (who only talked to God), so it used to be said. No shortage of cash, and it subtly shows.
