Doc Henry Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share #37481 Posted August 2, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) For me, this is special. I cannot say exactly what it is, but for some reason the photograph makes me contemplate the existence of scene....and want to see other things in the same way. Film does this to me sometimes, and normally not when exposure is spot-on.......Sort of like the "reality" of something, stripped bare. I have never really considered the significance of contre jour in quite this way. The Sun, being the thing that that normally allows enhanced perception of what is before us, can also obscure; leaving only the most significant artifacts of that things existence. In past, I have always averted my eyes from the discomfort of contre jour. Maybe it is one of the more valid ways to actually evaluate the core of what is to be photographed..............Even if you return to photograph it later, when the sun is not so harsh. Wayne thank you ... i was at Marseille just for my mother who passed away recently Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share #37483 Posted August 2, 2017 Look what happens when one is daft enough to try a contre-jour shot sans lenshood! Hasselblad 500C, 80mm Planar (naked!), Portra160. I like this contre-jour picture Not easy to have details and color in the shadows Thank you Keith H. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a little silicon grease on the washer between the knob and the outside wall of the tank has it running smoothly again. It makes developing so easy - just drop the tank on the base, pour in a solution and start the timer. When its done I pick it up, pour out the developer, set it back on the base and pour in the stop bath and so on. Easy! Especially for C-41 where you have to do four inversions every thirty seconds with an ordinary tank. And a lot cheaper than a Heiland or Jobo processor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackandwhite Posted August 2, 2017 Share #37498 Posted August 2, 2017 Wow - lots of nice pictures, - the thread is getting better all the time :-) I also read about scanning negatives and/or darkroom printing. I do both, especially as I have some stock of vitage paper. And , no, honestly : it is not exactly the same when a negative is scanned or darkroom develloped. On the other hand, my wife scans my negatives ( aswell as her negatives) as this spares chemicals and time and we can focus on the best shots. For rendering on a Computer screen, I believe that the scans make no real difference, as one also would have to scan the lab print ( as I often do) or as one has to take a digital photo/picture of the develloped paper print ... To me , most of this makes no difference, - it is fun and I act as my instinct of the moment tells me to do. About exposure times - I almost always stick to the indicated ASA/Din, and most of the time lightly over-expose. But for today, something different. My chap Artie still had a couple of Agfacolour Portrait 120 rolls ( 160 Asa ) . This film does not exist anymore, it is a pity. Here's a first example. No retouching at all, except the little dust /thin hair in my wife's scanner). I am not a fan of colour photography, but I must admit this kind of photo is worth colour. Rolleiflex C, Planar 3.5, Agfacolour 120 Roll Film "160 Portrait", expired 2006 Welcome, dear visitor!
