Hello All... Here's one from me shot at Christmas in Hong Kong on the Star Ferry to Kowloon (M7, 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit, Neopan 400)

 

We talk about the feel and tonal range of film verses digital... I have a random theory for you: Sensor pixels are two dimensional and perfectly flat. Silver halide crystals, on the other hand, are at various depths within the film. Perhaps it's that third dimension that adds to the feel??

Superb b&w picture with beautiful and natural grain ... and Welcome Andy

and you are right about the "flatness"  of digital .... and I add without "soul"

the fault of squarre px

 

Two more my last roll of Tri-X (Hasselblad 500C, Planar 80mm) taken around Silbury Hill in Wiltshire.

Haha oops, I only now realise how that can be read :) Abject apologies.

 

Philip, in reply to my part, this was in Florence, a morning... and the drinking lady is my wife.

I won't tell her someone called her that  ;)

 

I like this one a lot Edward. I might have lifted the shadows a bit. There seems to be quite a bit of detail there.

 

One more, but unfortunately I posted the best one first :D

Well my experience is the opposite: if my manipulation you mean post-processing, such as adjusting black and white points and getting the shadows and highlights like one wants them, then I think there's more latitude in film than digital. Then again a properly exposed image, whether digital or film, will allow quite a bit of manipulation. 

 

Here is something I notice about film scans as they differ from digital files. While the films scans do not seem to allow as much lattitude in manipulation, no matter what I do, the final result still seems plainly rooted in the original. While digital files seem to allow greater creativity in manipulation, one does not get to alter the original result a whole lot before the image begins to take on the appearance of something that is painted on black velvet. A while back I began to notice this and, now, can not get it out of my head. It seems to pertain to both B&W as well as color digital files. It has spoiled, to some degree, my ability to appreciate digital photography. I recently reviewed a number of monochrome images featured on a very prominent and popular web site and, while the photos are certainly testimony to the dedication and capacity of the individual photographers, the "black velvet" aspect sort of spoiled my full appreciation of what was before me.

 

Anyone else notice this? Or, am I just nuts ? :)

 

Wonderful exposure Jean-Marc. I wonder what she's doing?

 

Viva Velvia !

Thank you very much Philip for the comments and feedback. Indeed, there are tons of details in the shadows. The Nikon Coolscan is so good at seeing in the shadows. However, I consciously post processed the file to look like the slide when viewed on a lightbox. The original file is quite flat of course due to the extended dynamic range.

I bought 2 rolls of Cinestill 50 at Macodirect Germany for first time tests

and for first time development

One roll was poorly developed by my fault

Here one picture of the second roll

when I photograph in film I have another behavior compared to digital
I choose my shots and I save , no image inflation
because I only have 36 poses
