Popular Post A miller Posted January 28, 2018 Popular Post Share #46547 Posted January 28, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) My favorite aspect of this thread is the ability to obtain numerous sounding boards and sincere constructive feedback from friends who share the same passion. This photo is a (rare) repost of an initial draft version that I shared this past summer. I was in love with the uber dramatic sunset and thought I had some good negatives but was convinced - largely from the (direct and indirect) feedback here - into being unsatisfied that I had really executed on my vision. After about 7 months of toiling and running test prints on Fuji Flex high gloss photo paper (which has a slightly warm base) I think I have finally come to a resting point. Thought I'd share it!

A miller Posted January 28, 2018 Share #46552 Posted January 28, 2018 Thanks a lot; indeed dwelling, marinating and coming back anew is really a critical part of the process. You've said it well. To me it looks like a beauty. The print must be divine. I find re-visiting old photos and dwelling on them anew (with the benefit of distance/time) is a significant part of the photographic pursuit.

stray cat Posted January 28, 2018 Share #46554 Posted January 28, 2018 Amazing series of scans today, Phil. Love them all and especially with your style of documentary photography. Thanks you Edward, I really appreciate that. Great set, Phil. Do you miss the Plus-X? Was it like a slow Tri-X with a little less grain? Thank you Adam. I do miss Plus-X - is there a film we don't miss? I used it a bit but probably used FP4 a bit more at the time. I don't think of it as you describe, but as a film that had the most wonderful greys. It really stands out to me now that I scan these pictures again. Films - even films that share similar DNA - have characteristics that subtly (mostly) differentiate them from their brethren. I'd like to be able to say that I have always chosen them largely because of their unique characteristics - unfortunately it's most often for far more practical reasons than that - being availability and cost! This captures, better and more succinctly than I would have been able to, precisely what I felt when I saw Phil's photo. It's a real cracker, I think. Thank you Philip. Sometimes there are hidden/forgotten gems to be found on old proof sheets! Oxford Street.jpg This was one of the first images I took with my M6TTL and posted here..... Stray Cat rightly pointed out that a little bit of over exposure would have helped..... I have adjusted it in lightroom and this is the result ... This is just fantastic Wes - an "all over" colour photo in the way that Jackson Pollock made "all over" paintings. A riot and cacophony of shapes, reflections and colours that works. In fact I think this picture would stand up well against some of Harry Gruyaert's work.

Ektar, SWC June 8 sunset revised.jpg This really works Adam. If it were possible that a still photograph could be full of motion, this would be the one. Look at those clouds - they seem to move even as you look at them. On a large print this would be almost hypnotic. Totally agree, too on your thoughts on a) the thread and reworking images. Uniroyal I am going to have to learn about resizing photos. Uniroyal by W P_, on Flickr IID, 28mm 5.6 Summaron LTM, Svema FN-32 This is you playing to your considerable strengths, Wayne. That kind of almost imperceptible weirdness that lies at the periphery of things. Then you realize it's not weird at all - it is normal - and that makes you (the viewer) really sit up and take notice. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much like the personal colour photography people like Stephen Shore were doing in the 1970s and 1980s. The overall warm feel of the film lends it an overall warm feeling of family, security, love. A simply great picture. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted January 28, 2018 Share #46556 Posted January 28, 2018 . A wet night on Albert Embankment. Adox Color Implosion with M3 and 1947 Carl Zeiss Jena 50/2 Sonnar, lab developed. A wet night on the Albert Embankment.jpg This series of Pete's just goes to show what a thoughtful selection of gear can do in gifted hands. The choice of film, lens, standpoint, hour - far from arbitrary although at first it may appear so. Oozing atmosphere. You can imagine a book of photographs of London done in this style fast becoming a classic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R1-02796-018A.jpg These are really great, Paul - some unusual colours coming from the Portra 160 (and I agree - a great film). Kind of unnerving.

This one, too, Pritam - raises all sorts of questions and possibilities. What is he going to do - is he going to keep veering away from that doorway or are the happy, welcoming faces painted outside going to lure him in? A clever picture. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganzosrevenge Posted January 28, 2018 Share #46559 Posted January 28, 2018 I view this thread at work and at home, and it never fails to amaze me to see how this thread bucks the "film = dead" trend that I see so often. I'm about to shoot my first 2 rolls of Tri-X (I know... I've shot RPX 25, ADOX CMS 20, Ektar, etc., and yet never the "ol standby of intro to photo class"). Wish me luck! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can imagine a book of photographs of London done in this style fast becoming a classic. That's very kind of you to say, Phil. Regrettably, so many views of London and so little Color Implosion to do it with. The concept is appealing though. Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
