Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Edward , this Rollei RPX film has really a nice tone in b&w

The grain is also nice.

Thank you for posting

Henry

Thank you Henry! I just found out it's made at the Agfa-Gevaert factory in Belgium and it's probably similar to the original APX 400.

this with the 50mm Summicron

and it's a guess whether this is the 50mm Summicron or 35mm Summaron f2.8 LtM - probably the 35?

Film & dev?  I ask because the tonal gradations are so smooth and fine.  Lovely photos but the first one is a real eye-catcher - superb definition and lighting.

I've just finished printing a bunch of iPad photos for a friend, so I'm not sure when it arrived, but there is an e-mail in my inbox describing the favourite photos from the L-Camera forums. Click on the links in the e-mail - if the results are not filtered then 14 of the 19 shown come from this thread! Congratulations to all who are featured, and especially to Keith, who has two photos in there.

Nice series Dan specially the first picture :)

What beautiful black and white tone, the skin, the softness of lines and edges . It's superb in film!

This lovely portrait must be print on paper through an enlarger ,framed and hanged on the wall Dan.

Thank you Dan

Interesting. I'll have to give that film a try. I agree with Henry. I like the tone and grain in this.

 

I think I have it listed in my films and developers to try list. I do actually have a list I keep  :D

I would go for the toned version - it gives the warmth of the day in the Aussie bush.

Thanks Dan for your view, much appreciated. This being Tasmania, it was actually a cold day when I made the picture!

Much appreciated Henry.  She is my granddaughter ... a girl with a beautiful nature.  Alas, I no longer have the darkroom & enlarger :(.  But your encouragement makes me think ......

This was a bit of an experiment. I put the camera on a tripod, aimed it roughly at the Big Dipper, turned the shutter speed dial to B and held my cable release for a while, hoping the constellation would show without too much trails and also hoping to catch a few fireworks, but not so many that the stars would be obscured. It was New Year's Eve and luckily in an area without many fireworks enthusiasts.

Phil - appreciate the comment.  At first I found the book difficult to read; the reason is that Macfarlane often writes in the 'stream of consciousness' style.  But, persevere, and I'm sure you will find - as we did - that he transports you to places in your imagination which make the effort worthwhile.

Btw, your website is daunting.  Great stuff.  The 'colour' section of your portfolio is ... well, superlatives are easy to say.  It shows a wonderul eye for things.  The grand final at the Melbourne Cricket Gound is a stunner  :o

 

Thank you sincerely, Dan, I hope the book will prove to be the catalyst that gets Sue and I to hit the trail and do some of the wonderful walks in Britain and Europe. I really, really appreciate your thoughts on my website, too. Thank you so much. 

 

Last one from Tasmania: afternoon sky with Cradle Mountain in the background.

Lovely shot, Christoph and it brings back wonderful memories. I did the Cradle Mountain overland walk - and please see above my comments to Dan, as Sue and I really feel we need to get back to walking - when I was just a teenager in Scouts (I remember Cosmo's Factory had just been released!). What a wonderful experience and memory that was and is - five days of hard walking, tiger snakes and all. So thank you!

Here is some more Velvia goodness from last week, when I was on my way home having finally picked up my new iMac:

 

...

 

Mt Martha before the storm, 2017

Mamiya 7 ii, 50mm lens, (expired) Velvia 50

 

 

Thank you sincerely, 16 and Gnu. Funnily enough, BOOM is exactly what the sky said shortly after I took this!

 

Phil,

 

Excellent; almost fluorescent colours. At times we get these impressive visual gifts from nature, and using Velvia you made them probably even more placative than they actually were - though it may be impossible to be more impressive than nature? I think, by the way that you "made" the picture and not "took" it - as you so humbly write  ;) - by choice of film, camera (I think format matters here), lens, composition etc. 

 

Best regards

Boom! Indeed...I know Mt Martha quite well.

 

Great vivid colours...true colours (?) , oversaturated, but that's what Velvia is all about.

 

Very nice.

Thank you so much David and Christoph. The colours were pretty intense there for a while and, as you both so correctly point out, this is where Velvia shines. I had just the one roll left - three years expired - that's been kicking about in my camera bag for too long, and I wanted to give the big Mamiya an outing. Just dumb luck that the light happened to fall that way that day, given the circumstances.  BTW this is virtually unprocessed from the scan - just a slight bit of exposure adjustment.
