Inspired by: Adam's most excellent NYC skylines (although I do not have NYC;) the rebuild of my ancient F1 Canon( My first SLR) to as new performance by Mr. Ken Oikawa; and the lucky  chance of gaining a lens I cherish, I  am setting out, with a new tripod, on a project I am going to call "Rural Skylines." This is my first real effort to incorporate a tripod in my photography.

Keith,

your second photo, looks very interesting. I love this scenery. Do you called that an allotment garden?

 

Best

Gregor - yes, it is an allotment - one of a number on a plot of land set aside for such purpose on the edge of town.

Bravo Wayne on your new project - looking good already!

Still impressed what you are able to get out of this "minimalism" equipment !

Just like your "eye" which I think is the most important "gear" to need to make great pictures.....

Sixteen Pads,

 

It is certainly minimalist from a price standpoint. I delved into Nikon a few years ago, decided to go with Pentax and resurrect my old Canon stuff, and sell/trade the Nikon stuff. But, of all the Nikon stuff, that 50mm E lens was a true standout. I believe I bought mine for about $25.00......With caps. :)

 

Your photographs with this thrift store find are truly outstanding.

Thanks for this interesting comparison, Adam. Just to satisfy my curiosity, did you scan use ColorPerfect to invert the scans or did you only use Vuescan? I'm amazed regarding the colour difference. It's not that I doubt that it's there - they're after all really very different films - but I'm curious why Cinestill 50 in 120 format would give such different results from the 135 variety.

Now, Cinestill 50 (no schmootz, luckily)

It's interesting how the Cinestill disrespects the reds and how Ektar grabs a hold of them and stays real to the other colors with a sense of strength).  And how the Cinestill renders a golden theme throughout.

Both sublime, IMHO. :)

Thanks, Wayne.  

This is easy. I prefer the Ektar for this subject.

 

Thanks, Phil.  

"disrespects the reds" - yes, this descriptive phrase nails it, Adam. Can't have that, not in an autumnal scene. Once again, not altogether surprisingly, Ektar wins (yet again!).

 

Thanks, Edward.  I agree that, subject to getting clean results, the Cinestill 50 has really good skin tones.

Thank you for this comparison Adam. The colors of cinestill are very interesting even if for this particular scene Ektar renders better autumn colors. I think cinestill 50 would be perfect for skin tones.

 

Very nice, Wayne.  I like the colors from the Pro 400H and look forward to seeing more!

Thanks, Philip.  I have never used Colorperfect.  I just use Vuescan and LR.  

 

I have bout had it with the Cinestill color films.  One of the two rolls of Cinestill 50 (in 120 format) that I shot over the past week in Central Park have schmootz.  And I just rec'd the rolls a few months ago and immediately put them in my fridge.  For such an expensive film stock it just doesn't make any sense to me to continue the game of Russian roulette.

As Keith, 16 and Adam said above, this project is off to a flying start, Wayne. It will be interesting to watch its progress. Rural skylines, whilst ostensibly devoid of features as such, reward the inquisitive eye as much as any other skyline - often for what's not there, as opposed to what is. Using the tripod indicates to me that you are very attentively considering each shot for this - or some similar, thoughtful - reason. One question arises, though - why not use a lower ISO film with the tripod - or is it that you specifically wanted the properties of the 400 ISO stock?

The inspiration hit me about one third way through the Pro400H. I now have Ektar in the camera. I am struck by how calming the tripod is. The waist-level finder, an almost useless item for hand-held photography, has been on the camera more than the prism since I started using the tripod.

This is in the south transept of the Abbey of St. Denis, a little north or Paris. This church was the traditional burial place for French kings (who were dispersed during the revolution). 

 

Much more important and interesting, it is the birthplace of gothic architecture. This is absolutely the first gothic church, and the style was initially developed by the abbot of the day, a man called Suger. The place is wonderful. The banlieu of St Denis is now a rather dowdy suburb, and the square out in front of the church is home to a quite large bazaar of primarily North African origin. But the church is worth an easy visit by metro.
