Both of these are excellent James.

 

Once again I ran out of "Likes" for the day, so I can't show my appreciation for the last entries here. As always a nice mixture with some outstanding images. I am scanning a slide film at the moment and will probably add some color shots, mostly from Berlin. As a starter a simple but IMHO cool shot with a clear blue sky:

Printing really ties up the whole photographic process for me. It really summarizes all of the steps up to that point. I can't imagine just shooting images and letting them reside in a hard drive.

Unfortunately though this is a very nice print to see in person, the paper was fogged when I bought it so the edges are discolored.

The camera you see in the picture is an Olympus Trip 35 which is the camera used to take it.

Shot on Lomo 400 film, developed in Kodak Flexicolor C-41 Chems, printed on Kodak Endura F paper, with Kodak Flexicolor RA-4 chems.

Taking a picture of it doesn't do it justice.

Fabulous to see this, a print, the details of its creation and I'm sure it looks lovely first hand for its a restful yet compelling composition - this is the essence of FILM!

Yes Charles , it's a GREAT difference with digital and I wonder why people don't

understand yet ,

it's a shame .. the race for practical and fast will kill photography ?

fortunately NO , we have film as you said Charles  :)

We are two now and also some contributors like Phil , Wayne, Philip ... in the club

Thanks for your encouragement :)

As I was tidying up some old junk today a strip of negatives fell out and I decided to scan one. I'd forgotten how nice a film Agfa Optima was:

(probably) Nikon f801s, 80-200 f2.8, Agfa Optima 200

 

Unusual picture , coming from you Phil :D

Superb neck and look  the details of eye and feathers in the shadows

are outstanding even in backlight (contre-jour)

Thank you

You made a great development over the last months! Although I have a Durst CLS with the necessary head for color prints, I stick to the occasional black and white prints every few months. Only time will tell if I ever try color printing myself.

 

Btw, your Trip 35 looks stunning!

Thanks Henry - this must have been taken more than 20 years ago, when our two boys (now men) were little - so the photography tended to be tied in with the parental things - like zoos.

I remember when you first posted this, Klaus.  It is very magical in its mysterious mood!

I like this one better, James.  Th lighter the blue the better, IMHO.

This one looks really nice! Aki-Asahi has something slightly different: 002.jpg.

 

FANTASTIC colors, Ian!!  

 

 

Thanks Philip. Some species are easier to approach than others but generally it comes down to a bit of practice and anticipating where the butterflies might be feeding on nectar. Quite often the butterflies are so engaged in what they are doing that they become almost oblivious to what I'm doing (provided I don't make any sudden movements or get close enough to blot out the light). With the Blues (probably my favourite species) they are usually much easier to photograph first thing in the morning or late in the day when they tend to just sit catching the sun with their wings outspread.

 

Here's a Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) on bramble flowers. If I hadn't seen it previously moving about I probably would have missed it (the colour of its wings almost perfectly matching the browns of the bramble).

Lovely model but I'm not sure the trigs do it for me, especially the one coming out of her bum...  :o

Chamonix 8x10 Trix320 f45 1/30............shame about the trig going across her face

 

wow, this one is really special, Jean Marc.  Love the deep blacks and details in the highlights.

[ I like this one Jean-Marc, it made me think of all those zombie walks that are so popular, though this would be more the cartoon variety. ]

 

Thanks Philip !

 

 

Some raw power !

Gorgeous, Michael.  

Grand Canal, Venice, from the Rialto bridge. It interests me that there are no modern boats visible, a rare event on this part of the canal. This picture could have been made at almost any time. XP2. 50mm.

 

Congrats, a work product to be proud of!
