Thanks sincerely Christoph. I like that exact same thing especially about your book "Via Francigena" - the certainty that we are being invited to share a journey that you're travelling, and the snippets that you offer us are just well observed fragments of a wider reality. I think it comes through strongly there. So, come to think of it, that "extracurricular real estate" as Ernest puts it can be a portal to a world outside the frame in a single picture, or through a lengthier narrative involving multiple pictures, which is an interesting discovery in itself.

Phil,

 

Basically the frame of the photograph (what is observable of the scene in the picture) vs. the observed scene (how the scene was in reality), vs. the reference frame of the observer (the knowledge and mindset of the observer in reference to the scene), vs. the potential possibilities (the conceivable influence of the surrounding of the photograph on its content before and after the capture) ... :)

(In this context I'd include in the "frame of the photograph" all variables at the disposal of the photographer, framing, b&w vs colour, exposure, shutter time, etc.. By the way, your use of the flash in said picture is excellent!)

 

Have a good weekend! I'm going to walk my M3 now.

Two days ago we got a few flurries in the morning...  :p

This one sort of goes to what I wrote,  couple days ago, about contributors styles becoming statements. For some reason, immediately, when I viewed this shot I began to wonder how the guy with the banana was handling the foul weather......The reflected, red umbrella makes it, for me.

 

It is YOUR New York, Adam.

 

Thanks.

Some "schmuck," playing around with, and enjoying some expired Soviet schmootz.

Zeiss Ikon Contaflex I, Tessar 45mm 2.8, Expired Tasma 64.

 

This stuff took me to a new experience in film. It consists of pre-cut lengths of 35mm film, rolled and boxed, but not in a cassette. You have to load it, in dark bag, into a re-loadable cassette. I mean, it was like they were thinking of me when they came up with the idea. :) I live for the challenges of film. It is kind of funny. The time and expense it must have taken to wrap each roll, by hand, in two layers of light-proof paper had to at least equal.....probably exceeded....the expense that would have been incurred if they had just put it in cassettes. Maybe there was a cassette shortage in Worker's Paradise.

Yes! And thank you Wayne for reminding me of Adam's wonderful photograph which so brilliantly illustrates the concept of pictures living within and without the frame. There is a complex narrative within this frame, but it is strikingly obvious that this narrative is just as real and alive and carried on outside the area of the picture - and yet the picture's subjects - principally, but not confined to, the red umbrella and its handler - keep pushing us back into the picture, even as our logic tells us they are exiting. Whew! What a picture!

Thank you so much Christoph. As Steve said, this thread is such a rich resource, not just about film, but about thinking about pictures, and even what happens around pictures. Enjoy that walk with the M3!

Thank you Adam. I've scanned one of the worst frames from the cinestill rolls and include it here. I'd like to make the point that neither of the Agfa rolls had any marks remotely like this - in fact they were cleaner than most lab processed rolls I've received - so I conclude it's not the home processing. The marks on the picture posted here are absolutely certainly to do with the roll of cinestill. If anyone from cinestill happens to read this, I'm afraid I won't be buying any more cinestill film until I am assured this sort of thing won't happen again. At $16 a roll here it is just too expensive - and too upsetting to see your photos corrupted like this:

- scanned without i/r cleaning or any photoshop.

 

Phil, 

 

I agree that Cinestill 50 can show bad bad artefacts, particularly when not exposed immediately. I had some lying around for a year or so

before exposure, and presented some examples of its bad behaviour here last Summer, so won't repost these. This is balanced, however,

by the beauty of the results if everything goes well. Here an example from a local grafitty festival last year.

This is cool Edward. I would have expected to see a few astronaut's boots footsteps there.

That looks delicious Eoin, both the camera and the result with Tri-X.

 

Got back to KL, and finally got a chance to try my Shen Hao 4x5. It was raining, so might as well take a photo of a camera...
