Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Thanks, Suede.  A few years ago I serendipitously came to the realization that this lens shoots into the direct sunlight pretty well and when it does flare it produces artifacts that can be incorporated into the image.  I have since taken great pleasure in shooting directly into the barreling sunlight at very specific times in the early morning during the winter.  For example, during these 2-3 winter months, as the sun rises it starts to cross from north to south of Wall Street at approximately 7:40am and lasts for about 50 minutes before the street is once-again completely shaded.  The progression begins with barreling light across the south side of the street and then into the center of the street and then for about 10 minutes or so the entire street is illuminated and then for about 20 minutes the sidewalk on the north side of the street is illuminated.  I get a kick out of shooting up and down the street, into and in back of the sunlight, especially in these very cold winter months when people range from being awkwardly dressed to very fashionably dressed.  I push the Portra to get a pop in the highlights and darken the shadows (it gives me a head-start for some further Lightroom edits).   The result is a view that is pretty much how you would see it if you we looking directly into the sunlight; everything and everyone are silhouettes! This past week I grabbed a handful of Portra 160 instead of Portra 400 and didn't realize it until I shot my first roll and had to push it 1.5 stops.  It actually came out pretty good for this purpose!

I like this very much, Adam. Trademark* A miller contre jour rendition. I also remember others like this from you in the past; especially one where you caught the smoke from someone puffing on a cigarette in the sun's rays very nicely.

I would say that lens must be something to still be able to 'see' peripheral elements against such a strong light source. Can you please expand on '28 summaron' a little? It appears interesting...

 

 Thanks, Edward! :)

That's a reall awesome shot, Adam!

 

Very solemn, Edward.    Do you have a family member or a friend laid to rest there?

Cracking shot, Edward.  I love these ;)

Thanks Adam!!!

 

The cemetery is quite overwhelming. You can almost feel the presence of those soldiers who mostly died terribly while building the railway for the Japanese in atrocious conditions. Luckily I have no relatives buried there but I visit everytime I pass by Kanchanaburi. It's a good lesson in humility.

Mirroring Edward's photos of the POW's cemetery in Kanchanaburi...

 

This is the Chungkai War Cemetery a few kilometres away on the other side of the river. 

I took this end-March 2017.

Haha, priceless, made me laugh. Plus thanks for educating me; I had never heard of a 'threading salon' before.

 

Now with a knock on the glass!  :)

 

Thanks Eoin. Some more action (same roll):

These are beautiful, Philip. The colours are wonderful. I particularly like the last shot, though, for capturing so many sets of people in so many states, ranging from conversations on the side of a sand dune, to contemplative, to out of control.

 

Very nice, beautiful shadows and terrific detail.

What I like so much about this thread are the wonderful images.  What I also like is the de facto demonstration that as of January 7, 2018, film still brings something to an image that digital cannot ― not even after having been Photoshoped, VSCOized, Silver Efexized, or whatever-simulationized.

 

―Peter.
