MP, Elmarit 28 asph, Portra 160 @100,   Yellow filter, partially corrected

Nice look
But why do you use a yellow Filter,
where you can edit the color mood both in the darkroom and digitally and keep a virgin negative with all the options.

Was this meant for me @Kl@usW.? If so, thanks! And no, but I did have a Husserl book on phenomenology on my shelf for years and read no more than a page of it (I did better with Merleau-Ponty). Another  phenomenological object follows:

 

Mamiya C330, single exposure back, Mamiya-Sekor 80mm 1:2.8 f8 1/4", paramender, Fujifilm UM-MA @ ISO 64,  D76H 1:5 21ºC, development timed by observation under safe light (12min?).

Looking for "The Minority Report." Unique.

Thanks Ernest. Never saw Minority Report but after a quick Google, I found the "Precog Balls" you were referring to. Interesting! My wooden ball is actually a spare wooden "interface" for a computer music project of mine done with designer Marc Raszewski and electronics designer Jim Sosnin. This following wonderful photo, by Peter Welch, shows the work in an almost finished state and the photo was taken outdoors just for effect. This version was done in Melbourne in 1994:

A gallery visitor sits in the chair and sees his/her reflection in the cabinet to the front. The participant waves a wand-like devices in the region below those two stalks. Using a Pepper's ghost illusion, movements of the wand are seen, in apparent 3D, as a glowing ball moving around the head of the visitor. Via an ultra-sound mechanism and triangulation of the wand tip, these movements are mapped to musical algorithms producing sounds with a spatial trajectory determined by the position of the wand. The sound was amplified/rendered by the 6 speakers surrounding the listener.


I later, again with Jim and Marc, made a simplified interface from a wooden sphere with embedded ultrasound transducers. With this, the ball represents the entire sculpture and the listener moves to wand around to the ball to produce a corresponding sound trajectory relative to the sculpture. It worked quite well and used a spatial audio model by someone called Moore (i forget the name). But if you can imagine the listener inside a sphere, each embedded transducer on the sphere represents a "window" in the sphere. The ultrasound mechanism serves to measure the distance of the wand tip to each window (and yes, even though ultrasound transducers are typically unidirectional, Jim's brilliant design produced an omnispherical transmission of ultrasound pulses from the wand tip and at a frequency relative to the ball diameter, that allowed the embedded transducers on the far side of the sphere to register the refracted sound from the wand tip. The exact positions of the loudspeakers in the sculpture (which you can think of as a sphere) are mirrored by the transducers on the ball and the distance of the wand tip to each speaker was mapped as an audio intensity (inverse square of distance) at each corresponding speaker. The listener thus hears sound "objects" moving around them in 3D through these windows.

Here's a photo of of the wooden ball version, done in 1996. My basic photos - print and slide film.

 

 

Too much information, sorry!

Thank you DreiPunkte, I completely agree. But I simply overlooked that there was still a yellow filter on the lens when I switched it from the black-and-white M 4 to the color MP... Unfortunately, it's not the first time this has happened. I really should decide to not photograph in color and black-and-white simultaneously. Tokyo can easily  push a country bumpkin like me to the limit, then decision fatigue sets in and these mistakes happen.

Fascinating, Xícara de Café. Is there a place where one can experience that?

That happens in the ragefinders world,
but its much better then protecting the beloved lens with a beautifull lensscap.
You have beautiful images, I get solid, beautiful blacks because Iam a coward.

Beautiful scene and framing. It looked to me at first glance that it was taken by CZJ Sonnar lens, but I see it was indeed a Zeiss lens. Very similar rendering.

Thank you, you might notice that many Zeiss lenses have the same "optical tradition"
