I've heard it's a little uneven with digital M's but on my M4-2 i've had wonderful results from it, always nice and even and lovely sharpness and contrast.

Oh for sure it was challenging to use on digital but my interest was mainly with using it on film, primarily black and white. I’d likely get another one in the future, I just went through a phase last year where I just didn’t know what I wanted to shoot or what I wanted to shoot with and I wound up selling quite a lot of stuff. Probably made a few errors in there but it’s all part of the process.

Thank you Adam. Well I think it is the film actually. Ektar is really amazing in terms of its post-processing "malleability". This was scanned on a new to me X1 which unfortunately isn't working quite as it should but when it does it gives scans that are very pleasant to work with. I feel I'm only scratching the surface though in terms of getting the workflow right.

 

Sincere, thanks, Phil. Ha, ha, yes, if I only knew the luminosity of office building lights in terms of number of foot candles, and had I only been in a rush, I just may have been able to come home with a heroic story like Adams' :)  Instead, I simply burned through a few exposures trying my luck and freezing my balls off. :)

 

Very prim and proper aesthetically perfect photo, Philip.  You magic color rendition is creeping into the Ektar, leaving me to deduce that it is your workflow and not so much the film that makes the magic :)

 

These colors are sublime.  And I just love the carvings into the mountain.  I'd love to go there one day...

 

Even if ignorance played a part, which I can't really see to be honest, it did so very successfully. It's an excellent portrait.

You have an X1 now Philip? What happened? A rude question - but did you win the lottery, have a lucky find, or simply decided to treat yourself? (or possibly all of the above)

Inspired by Edward's pictures from Jordan I had to revisit my stock from a trip there 4 years ago. I'm not sure, which of the pictures happened to be posted here before, so please excuse any repetition.

Hi Mani, haha I wish I'd won the lottery, but no I came across one at a decent price last year and decided to offload some equipment I don't use to try it out. So far I'm happy with it except for a bizarre scanning error that occurs at certain specific resolutions but that's hopefully going to be sorted in the near future.

Love this shot, Phil. The tight framing makes the subject(s) almost abstract looking, whilst retaining identification - if you know what I mean. But then again you are masterful when it comes to boats, my son has your sculling photograph framed and hanging in his living room. I look at it every time I visit.

Steve, thank you sincerely for your generous and thoughtful comment. It is extremely humbling to think of one of my photographs hanging, framed, on your son's wall. I'd like to thank you, too, for contributing to Arthritis Australia whose work will have benefited.

 

I'd like to thank all on here who take the time to comment on one anothers' pictures. It takes time, thought and effort and I know we all appreciate that someone will do that for us.

 

(edit) ...and thanks for the link - will check it out once the cricket's over!
