essentially  I consider the M to be  a snapshot camera. That's  why I'm undeterred by trivial motifs... 

We love rain !!

Antonio. I often observed the same, but your title and images really pulls it together. Well done, I'm looking forward to more :)

M3 and 50/2 Rigid Summicron with APX 100.

(Almost) timeless London. APX100 fits well, is it the new one or the classic Agfa stock?

To me , the greatest British Photographer and my photographic hero - Bill Brandt.

I walked in his footsteps in Halifax in the West Riding of Yorkshire, UK.

Halifax, is where  Bill Brandt came in 1937 and made some of his most famous images for an article that he was commissioned to photograph for Lilliput Magazine "Hail Hell and Halifax".

Brandt pointed his camera at streets very similar to these that are little changed in over 70 years. 

His images  "Catch Points" and "A snicket in Halifax" were made about half a mile away from where I took these. 

Brandt used a Rolleiflex and I used my 1936 Leica 111A along with the beautiful little gem of a lens - the Summaron 35mm F3.5

I self impose myself to use just basic equipment as I have tired of the rat race of modern digital and it holds nothing for me now.

Film was my current standard Kentmere 400 because it gives the lovely rich blacks that I like. I processed it in Ilfosol 3 at 1-9 dilution for 6.5 minutes with 3 inversions of the tank per minute.

Pictures from one of my current projects - "The Wool Towns of The West Riding".

Regards Paul Mac.

 

 

Nicely done. Your images ooze with the ghosts of history.

late afternoon in the garden. Imagine some french impressionist on the earphones--or just listen to the nightingale which was actually singing

That's a fantastic photo, Paul. When you say 3 inversions/minute, was it 3 inversions at the same time or 1 every 20 seconds (not that it makes that much difference).

Agfa Click, Portra 160

Wayne, wonderful. I love the pink baby carriage as the center of the composition.  I would have thoughtlessly chosen a different framing ---but your decision is  perfect. And the Agfa Click  low-contrast lens increases the loved  "portra look". I start thinking about what became of the child that owned the carriage and is the doll still there....

Missing those days without COVID-19...

Love vintage lenses, positive and negative films...

The first frame always surprised me and I like it. 😉
