Michael Hiles Posted December 5, 2017 Share #43402 Posted December 5, 2017 Which prompts the question: how far, really, have all the technical and other progressions in photography brought us, when such a picture can be made on a decades-old camera? Are we really better off now? Brilliant picture, Adam - the light is just right for the mood. Seems to me that almost all Leica's lenses even from way back are capable of terrific results, and that few of us will ever make pictures where the progress in geometrical optics is actually visible. What has improved remarkably is film. The XP2 used for so many of these fine pictures is simply superb - much better than anything available when I was starting out in the late 1960s. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted December 5, 2017 Share #43403 Posted December 5, 2017 I just tried a new method for developing 4x5 sheet film. Using the Paterson 2 reel tank. I remove 4 sheets of film from there holders then individually bend them in half keeping the emulsion on the inside and securing them with a rubber band. Then I stand these up in the Paterson tank leaving the center pole in the tank to maintain light tight I then process the film as normal. I tried it this morning and it worked perfectly. I will post the pictures later when they are dry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to do with the ratio of land/sky and water. I think it’s perfect like that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted December 5, 2017 Share #43410 Posted December 5, 2017 Delightful, light leak and all, Greg. My late father used a Zenit and took some interesting photos incl. during a visit to Moscow during the Cold War, so seeing Zenit photos brings back nice memories for me. Quick scans from wanderings around Manchester last week. Again, Zenit E, leaks light like a sieve.

philipus Posted December 5, 2017 Share #43413 Posted December 5, 2017 An excellent question, Phil. I believe the answer is yes and no. I may have said this before so forgive me for repeating myself, but I believe that there has never in the history of photography been a better time to shoot film. Sure, the number of available emuslsions is dwindling which is sad, but there are still lots of good ones left, and stocking up on disappearing ones is easy and comparably cheap. The current emulsions are really quite amazing compared to just a few decades ago. Add to this that optical technology - much thanks to the development of digital photography - has reached levels only dreamt of earlier, which means that we have reached a sweet point in terms of image quality. That being said, and speaking for myself of course, as much as I like shooting with amazing modern lenses, I love using older lenses. Old lenses are like books in a way, they mustn't be thrown away but need to be kept and taken out now and again and enjoyed. Below are a few with a new to me 24mm Nikkor AI from the late 1970s (FM3A and Superia 200 at EI100).

Wayne Posted December 5, 2017 Share #43414 Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Resurected John Deere, single cylinder ( "one-lunger",) antique tractor being taken for maiden voyage on a quiet Sunday afternoon, along a remote Indiana road. I know so much about it because the pilot, a complete stranger at the time- now a friendly aquantance- stopped breifly to tell about it. The smile on his face testified to his satisfaction with the result of his work in bringing it back to roam the earth. I am glad I was there to satisfy his need to share his joy. If you have never heard one of these old "one-lungers," I hope that you someday do. It is preferable to have the opportunity while you are on a quiet Sunday walk. Not only is it cacophonous, it is completely devoid of any discernible rhythm........Just random pops, bangs, and booms. It is one of those things that so violates the environment in which it occurs, you are left with a magnified appreciation of that environment when the violation recedes into the distance. A blessing, of sorts. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
