A miller Posted January 20, 2018 Share #46144 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks, Patrick lovely !! I am just not of the opinion that this photograph is conducive to being made into an "expressionist" version by adding crushed blue shadows. In my view, there is not enough of a story line in the properly exposed areas to make the photo work. Just my two cents. Adam - As I wrote in post #46196, I realize that most people would consider the earlier, darker version "over the top." If the purpose were documentary, I would chose the second version or one with still less density. However, my intent was an expressionist print in the context of a photo essay — and I like the crushed, blue shadows and the general feel of the dark version; but I'm still ambivalent whether this shot will make it into the essay. Any else prefer the dark, expressionist version? (I'm reminded of Eggleston's dictum, "I'm at war with the obvious." But, hey, maybe the dark version I like is the obvious one!) _________________ Alone in Bangkok essay on BURN Magazine Instagram: @mitchalland Excellent series of photos, John. I am really impressed with the results you achieved with the 2 stop push of the HP5. The grain and contrast from these photos is really appropriate for this particular subject matter. inspired/urged by Phil (stray cat), earlier this week I visited the NGV (National gallery of Victoria, Aust.) and shot two rolls of HP5+ @ 1600iso, dev. Xtol 1+1. Camera: M7. Lens: 75mm Summicron. When I got to galleries etc., I shoot the visitors rather than the artworks, which I use only as a backdrop to my 'people gazing'. I will start sharing some of them here. Scanning is finished but I still need to adjust levels to optimize the images as I go. THE HAT Wow, fantastic colors, Patrick! Sunrise in Colorado Portra 160 M6 Summicron 50 Very lovely photo and totally agree that the rendition is very creative and artistic and very cool! Storm gathering at Wiang Pa Pao in northern Thailand. In a recent post I wrote that I was thinking of shooting film only for B&W because digital with the M10 would give me pretty much anything that could be done with color film. However the Portra 400 image below gives me reason to think again. I shot the scene some 100 meters down the road with the M10 and the same lens. Very different results. The M10 shot has more resolution and detail and the colors are more saturated. I can reduce the saturation of the M10 image to approach the look of the Petra image, but the overall feeling is very different. M3 | Portra 400 | Summaron-M f/5.6 28mm | f/8 | 1/500 sec Wiang Pa Pao _________________ Alone in Bangkok essay on BURN Magazine Instagram: @mitchalland V very nice, John. I particularly like how the man in the center is illuminated more than anyone else, yet the highlights are not blown to hell like what aa digital sensor would be prone to do After visiting the NGV, I went for a much needed lunch. One of my favourite areas is Centre Way, following from Degraves Street. The following pics are there and deliberately working with narrow street scape and strong directional sunlight most of the time.

A miller Posted January 20, 2018 Share #46145 Posted January 20, 2018 Thanks, Christoph. With this weather and saddled with my flash I really gravitate to the "up close" moments. Sometimes I have to force myself to pull my head out and take some more "scenic" photos, of which there are many if you just have the right frame of mind! Btw, I looked up that photo from Fontana and it is sublime. Love it, colour photos such as these kindled my interest in photography many moons ago. The red of the umbrella set in a subdued background reminds me a bit of Franco Fontana's picture of Prag from 1967 (showing a red car from above at a road crossing).Very nice,RgdsChristoph Wow, Edward. This one is really special. I love these type of geometric photos, and the colors are great. This has potential for wide public appeal. The Martian. M7 ZM 50/2 Provia 100F by edward karaa, on Flickr Thanks, Wayne. The guy with the banana is faring the harsh winter by eating frozen chocolate covered bananas. 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. Wow, you are a real film trooper Some "schmuck," playing around with, and enjoying some expired Soviet schmootz. image533470.JPG 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. Sincere thanks, Phil. You are very articulate! 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! You look as hungry as your Russian cameras Hope you remembered your bib for that white shirt Yours truly, Minoxed. This is my "Pasta has just been ordered" smile. img179.jpg Minox B, Foma Retropan 320 Christoph - Very jealous, Christoph - nice 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. 170617_4_MP_0027.jpg MP, Cinestill 50, ns Rgds C.

Thanks Christoph - these are just wonderfully observed juxtapositions, using the graffiti contrasted against a human element - works really, really well. The colour is, of course, brilliant - you'd expect that from Cinestill. I have used a bit of the 800T also and find its colour/grain/feel unmatched by anything else. But I just can't afford to buy rolls of film that might work if everything goes right (the 50D I posted an example of was used within a couple of weeks of our receiving it, and it was still well within date). There are plenty of films - some at 1/3 of the price of Cinestill - that give beautiful, reliable, consistent results. If Cinestill (the company) announce that they've refined their process and the schmootz is a thing of the past, then I'll try some more. As it is, how can they expect people to buy their product when it stands a reasonable chance of being faulty? That's a great street portrait Phil. Thank you sincerely, Philip.

EoinC Posted January 21, 2018 Share #46154 Posted January 21, 2018 ...I really like the conundrum you have posed about the boundaries of a photograph. Is what’s seen in the photograph the end of it? Or should we be thinking of something that’s taking place outside the frame? Here is another photograph I took during the Oaxaca workshop. When I showed it elsewhere (not to do with the workshop or, I hope, this thread) the general consensus seemed to be that it would be quite a nice picture except that I’d managed to cut off the person on the right. Yet, to me, that’s the whole point. As Mary Ellen would often say: "Am I wrong?". Zaachila, Mexico 2011 M6TTL, 28mm Elmarit, Ilford XP2 Super I like the fact of the pulling force outside of the frame, Phil. It is as if there were a rolling conveyor belt, and you managed to stop a portion of it, for however briefly. This is something I really like about pedestrian children - Their distraction is 100%, sometimes to the point of immobilisation, as opposed to adults, where body movement comes first, and the mind follows. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
