Great photo, Phil. Really cool actually.

 

 

Very nice architecture shots, Martin. Framing is excellent.

 

Love this shot! Everything falls nicely in place, and perfect moment.

 

Gorgeous lines. Fantastic!

 

This is a great shot, Philip, with a lot of potential. Needs just a touch of PP to bring out the red in the umbrella.

 

Beautiful fluid lines.

 

Great shot, Wayne!

 

Lovely! (both the photo and the friend :) )

 

 

That's a wow shot, Adam! One of the best from the dead sea series.

 

Awesome! It's amazing how much latitude this film has.

 

Thank you so much Philip and Edward!

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

Many thanks, Phil.  I think "OCD" might be a more apt description than "fortitude".  But I'll use "fortitude" I am being lectured by my wife about my escapades :)

 

Adam - this is superb. Your fortitude and determination to get out there in those early mornings has been well rewarded. The colours in this landscape are simply breathtaking.

 

 

Many thanks for your opinion, Edward.  It is really helpful!

Philip - All are nice, but the third pushes my buttons.  It is so "you" :)

As some of you know I'm attracted to reflections. Here are a few from train journeys in Sweden and the Netherlands.

Lovely, Ian!

Haven't posted a butterfly photo for a while. There's a tendency amongst butterfly photographers (as was the case with collectors) to target pristine, newly emerged examples. Personally, I rather like many of the tattier, more worn specimens which have lived a bit (albeit only for a few days). I don't think I've posted this one before. A female Common Blue. Portra 400 and Macro Elmar-M.

Many thanks again, Gregor.  

Yes, the colors are so fantastic and the Ektar is a great film ... but only in combination with good photographer :)

 

Please share more!

 

Best

Gregor

 

This one is beautiful.  Excellent job at executing this!

Here's a lovely pre-dawn "Fuji Provia 100F moment" on the beach of the Dead Sea. Fuji's strength at rendering blues and greens are showcased here nicely, me thinks.

The first is the full uncropped 6x6 frame.

The second is a 16X9 frame.

Which do you like better???

Many thanks for any input.

These are both beautiful Adam. I wouldn't like to choose between them - I'll stay sitting on the fence for this.

 

Ha, ha, ok, Phil, I think I see where you are coming from.  A part of me thinks it really depends on the space on the wall that this will be hanging and general personal preference.  I really appreciate your feedback.

My apologies. Without thinking I seem to keep reorganizing my Zenfolio galleries after I post a picture and the picture gets lost. here's that Pompidou Centre shot again:

Yes, I was wondering where the photo went.  Man, this is incredible.  First of all, you nailed the exposure.  I am very impressed by the good detail that you managed to get in the skin  as well as the fire.  The expression on his face is a showing of power and fury.  Very cool, indeed.  Thanks for sharing this piece of history!

Adam. Wonderful work as always - the subtlety of the colors and the transition of the light in the sky is simply amazing. You continue to surprise and impress! For me, nothing beats a Hasselblad square - so as beautiful as they both are, I think the 6x6 showcases the beauty of the image best.

Thank you so much Adam again for your thoughtful comment. And I totally agree with you about the Dead Sea photo and the relevance of placement/viewing/usage. Sometimes original ration cf crop pictures are easy to deduce, as there's a "rightness" to one or the other. These are both (IMHO) equally "right" and it would only depend on how you wanted to present the picture that would determine (for me) on or the other.

 

Are you swaying one way or the other for your choice of film - these Provia 100Fs are brilliant, yet you seem to get as much as is humanly possible from Ektar 100 as well. And, no, you are not allowed to fence-sit for your response to this!

Hi Alan - thanks very much for the careful look and very kind remarks.  It is extremely helpful and the reason why I always share my photos on this thread first before any place else!

Thanks, Phil.  I am getting some very interesting comparative results with the Ektar and Provia 100F in these low light situations, as I took the same photo with each film stock on quite a few occasions.  I will share some comparisons in due course.  My general view is that if there is a sufficiently narrow range of exposure values, I will prefer the Provia 100F, even with long exposures as Provia doesn't require any exposure time adjustments up to a minute.  The Ektar comes in really handy when the EV range is wider and/or the exposure time is quite long.   It obviously has more retention of shadow detail.  But when the Provia 100F sings I generally like it better.  Having said all of this, in bright daylight nothing beats the Velvia 50 for the type of surreal scenes that I was shooting.  I just love it!!

Of course! I was forgetting Velvia 50! And hopefully there will be a new Ektachrome later this year (although time is marching on, Kodak!) to throw into the mix as well. Thank you very much - this gives an excellent basis for thinking about various film stocks depending on conditions.

So this is the Ektar version of the scene I just shared.  Taken within a minute or so of the Provia 100F photo shares above, and look at the difference in color palette!  The Fuji tilted more toward the blue/greens and the Ektar tilted more toward the warm tones....

Now that I am focused on it, this Ektar version is growing on me!!!  Thanks, Phil!  :D
