More Velvia. ZM 35/2 I think. I really regret having sold this lens.

 

I exposed for a low key effect to preserve the highlights.

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

Catching up, just singling out some of my favourites - of your recent images first, JM :)

 

 

Love this one,  it feels like an opportunistic shot with the ever versatile Rolleiflex (though it could be staged of course?)

 

 

I always enjoy your pictures from this amazing mass of concrete and this is no exception. Super place and composition.

 

Did you hijack someone's pre-wedding photo shoot, or are you the photographer?

This is a great example of sharpness being irrelevant to a successful picture, well done for squeezing in the top of the building too!

 

The shadowed figure in slight motion gives really nice energy

 

 

 

Thanks Richard !

 

This place is inspiring and brings up unexpected situations. Thanks to the Rollei delicate shutter noise, I was able to sneak in unnoticed  for that shot of the woman enjoying the distant view.

 

The Palais Royal gardens in Paris are a hot spot for wedders and I did hijack a pre-wedding shoot :-)

 

As for the silhouette woman with hat, she brilliantly stepped in as I was taking the shot ...

 

A couple more with Tri-X / 2.8F :

Well, I cannot speak about other areas of the world, but your comment is certainly accurate for USA. In fact, it has reached the point, due to the force of the thing, that you almost feel like a pedophile for even thinking about taking a photograph of a child, not your own.

Well, here in the UK, a friend of mine was set upon for taking pictures of his own child playing in the park. The bystanders hadn't realised he was the father of the child. They really had a go at him in an aggressive and threatening manner.

 

In years to come social photographic record will show an absence of children, and if were wiped out for other reasons our successors will conclude humanity died out die to be the lack of childbirth.

Photo shoot au Palais Royal by JM__, on Flickr

 

Tri-X - M3  - 50 Alpa Kern Aarau 1.8 LTM

I have a shot, digital (MM), of a bride emerging from a downtown hotel in full wedding garb, except she is wearing white sneakers (canvas shoes) as she hurries across the sidewalk to enter the charter bus that is to take to the blessed event. Included in the shot is an obviously disinterested woman lifting the brides train so as to prevent it from touching the grimy pavement. The expression on the brides face is not one of joy, but rather, irritation. I felt sorry for the future of the groom. I wish I could somehow find out who was married; I would send them the photo in a couple of years. I think these pre ceremony shots turn out to be some of the best wedding photos.

A couple of 8x10 devoloped in drums HP5+ LC29

Neil, the tree is ok but not bitingly sharp or has anything like the tonal range I would expect from 10x8" The water image is completely out of focus, the tones are mashed and the highlights are blown. Are you using a flatbed scanner to scan these negatives? Do the scans really resemble the negatives for tonal range and sharpness?

 

Not trying to rain on your parade here, just trying to help, but you are doing something wrong and 10x8" needs to be done right or there is no point.

Another of my projects.

 

Documenting the demise of the wool industry in my home town of Bradford, West Yorkshire UK. Someday it will all be gone as the old wool mills either burn down or are converted into fancy apartments. 

 

These images are all on 35mm Leica film. A combination of cameras - 111F with 50mm Elmar, Leica MP and Leica R5.

 

Film with these images is well out of date but still OK AGFA APX 100 that I pull out of the freezer for just such occasions. 

Outstanding. Good use of the expired APX!

Really good picture, that could IMHO profit from a slightly changed white balance, as it shows a visible tendency towards cyan (at least on my iMac).

Thanks, James. One if my most favorite aspects of this photo is the color palette and WB. To me, the imperfections are PERFECT for timeless classic look that i feel is captured!! makes me glad i used this cinestill (never thought I'd say that!)

Hey Gary - Great to hear from you and see you posting.  I appreciate your feedback.  I must admit, I took a risk and I knew it with this shot.  But I wasn't there scoping out little kids but rather was trying to capture the adults praying with their bodies swaying back and forth at low shutter speeds.  I figured it could be cool (will shared some soon).  And then this young boy appeared in front of me looking about as cute as a young boy can get and I impulsively just pointed focused cocked shutter and fired as quickly as I could.  I was bracing myself already for squawking from the people; but as I suspected didn't get any.  But I fully expected and would have appreciated if the father of this young boy squawked hard at me.  I was prepared to pull out the major charm defensive and offer to give him the photo framed and all.  But no need.  No one said anything and I quickly moved on.

Love it, so much happening, and to a foreigner like me, so much I don't know about (in the picture I mean).

Given the "kerlunck" of the 'Blad, did you get any growly looks from those around you, LOL?

Gary

 

Thanks, Richard!

 

Both really nice, super colours. The fully formed first one, my favourite of these so far, and the more abstract second. I hope you actually got to relax in the Dead Sea at some point after standing next to it so much Adam!

 

Really fun viewing these old chrome stocks, Gary.

Back in the day when I shot trannies with the 500C/M.

Agfachrome 100.

Yes, indeed, in a worst case scenario it was double jeopardy.  But my glass is half full on this stuff.  I took the photo for all the right reasons and haven't lost a wink of sleep. :)

I was going to ask a similar question... In the West it's almost taboo to take pictures of children, and as a photographer it's best to pull the shot if a child walks by, or possibly lose your teeth having been mistaken for a paedophile. This shot of Adams, which captures childhood innocence perfectly, the inquisitive look etc, is also in a holy place, so double jeopardy possibly.

 

Thanks, Edward.  

I join my voice to the other commenters, Adam. That's a wonderful shot. I would love to see more people photos from you.

 

Great set, Paul.  Really enjoy the rendition that you have chosen.  You have produced some very clever and unique perspectives.

Great looks in this, Jean Marc.  Those blacks are really black!

Great moment, Greg.    And very well executed!

First few images from a roll of FP4+ through the scanner tonight. Very soft, very happy.

Here's one with the 250mm Zeiss Sonar Superachromat about 6 inches from the ground, which gave me lacerations on my knees for having to kneel down (don't worry, no national anthem was playing at the time :lol: ) on the prickly hard salt floor.

Must really get out with this 503 I have here loaded with Ektar. I went to NY for about 3.5 weeks. The plan was to drive, but I had some car issues (only ended up being sparkplugs after all) and ended up flying instead, which made me limit my choices. Leica M6, newly acquired Leica X2, and the newly acquired Rolleiflex. The Hasselblad belongs to a friend and I did not want to subject his camera to airline travel. The M6 ended up taking a back seat the whole trip - as it was my first time bonding with the Rolleiflex. The X2 was just for digital shots I didn't feel like wasting film on....but it was a pretty stellar compact, actually.
