EoinC Posted December 3, 2017 Share #43323 Posted December 3, 2017 An impression of autumn. Portra 400, R5, 35mm Elmarit-R. Wow! Spectacular reds, Keith. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted December 3, 2017 Share #43324 Posted December 3, 2017 An impression of autumn. Portra 400, R5, 35mm Elmarit-R. Keith - painterly indeed. Very very nice. It might be my monitor but it appears that you might be able to set the black points a tad darker. Again, just could be me. But the colors are wonderful! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoinC Posted December 3, 2017 Share #43325 Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) One thing I did wonder, why not something like Tri-X Eoin? Not saying the Acros 100 is not suitable, just wondering. Gary Hi, Gary. I did use Tri-X for most of the time indoors, but shot some Acros 100, also. The Avantidome is very bright, although it's still difficult (for me) to manual focus at f/2.0 and get it right. I did ask the riders to slow down, but they didn't seem to listen.

gbealnz Posted December 3, 2017 Share #43329 Posted December 3, 2017 Nice, Gary - Particularly the flax in the 2nd shot. Silly as it sounds, we were at Opito for an hour or so, and I recalled your Wellywood shots etc. Seemed only fair to emulate them, with half-frame of course, not the SWC.

mikemgb Posted December 3, 2017 Share #43334 Posted December 3, 2017 I decided to have another go at XP2 in HC-110 using chism’s recipe, looks like it worked well!

Bateleur Posted December 3, 2017 Share #43335 Posted December 3, 2017 I made a silver print today of this image, with the welcome assistance of a newly acquired Analyser-Pro from RH Designs. An extremely useful tool. There is a bit of a learning curve to (mainly) determine what you actually want your print to look like. It doesn’t think for you – it assists your own thought process. But it works very well indeed. The print looks as good as the screen image (which is carefully “printed” with Photoshop Elements and Silver Efex Pro). The picture was made last February in the Masi Mara, Kenya. The elephants (in fact all animals) ignored our vehicle, and we got very close to some impressive locals. XP2, 200mm Telyt, if anyone cares. Well after the fact (the original posting) but I keep returning to this little family and your print Michael, the ultimate result from the thread traced from creation to representation, I care too, for the place where you created the photograph, the animals, the means and measure and this photograph. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted December 3, 2017 Share #43340 Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Well after the fact (the original posting) but I keep returning to this little family and your print Michael, the ultimate result from the thread traced from creation to representation, I care too, for the place where you created the photograph, the animals, the means and measure and this photograph. Charles, Very many thanks. Elephants were a large part of our positive experience in Kenya. The sense of family was wonderful. True also of the lions and cheetahs - in a sense it was nourishment for the soul. We also visited a shelter for orphaned baby elephants - again, a humbling experience. The technical aspects of the picture - and most of my pictures - is very simple. My pictures for many years now are always B&W and the film is always Ilford XP2, commercially developed (this could change). I expose for 200 ASA. Nothing else I have tried does as well in my hands, giving very fine grain, long and smooth tones, and great sharpness. And it prints beautifully. My view is that I have the technical stuff under control. Then the challenge is "Where to point the camera". That is the tough part.
