Stunning impressions, Helge! Once more I'm puzzled, what exactly digital photography was invented for 

 

My next contribution can't compete with the last entries, but it continues the mountain theme:

Slide film - almost certainly Ektachrome, taken November 1990 from the observation deck of the World Trade Center. Scanned in only a few days back.

Wow this is very nice Adam. A bucket list shot, most definitely. Simple and dramatic in equal measures.

 

This past week I was able to check something off of my bucket list.  There was thick low fog covering New York City and I was able to seize the moment with my SWC.  This type of fog is very rare in NYC; it only comes along once a year or two and often w/o warning.  

 

We had a couple of unseasonably warm days and then it got rainy and so I had my suspicions.  This time rather than HP5 and Tri-X (strong with deep blacks) I brought along Acros 100 and Delta 100 with the vision of capturing more of an old fashioned look with a range of grays.

 

Here's one of the Brooklyn Bridge, which conveniently just had its scaffolding removed from its underbelly.

 

SWC, Delta 100

I like the very compressed perspective, which is more than I would have expected for a 90mm. Citizen isn't a sign one sees often these days.

Very nice, whereabouts in Bayern? Does that camera always print the shutter speed, aperture and focal length on the film? Quite a useful feature.

Wow, Helge, wonderful. But indulge us with details. You can't just post a picture of Mount Everest and not say how it came about.

Very nice mountain scenery James. The grainy gritty high-key look adds drama effectively.

This is the pier at the Scheveningen beach here in town. Shot on the same evening as the fireworks earlier.

It was a little crop after Scan, like in the Darkroom

 

Thanks a lot Philipps, it is near the „Spitzingsee“! Yes, the Pentax always print the shutter speed, aperture and focal length on the film. It is a very nice feature, what I like!

Eoin,

 

Very natural looking 'slice of life' pictures that represent the way and pace of life in Thailand from what I recall of my time there.

 

Pete.

Which is good, Pete, except that it's Mumbai... It is a slice that is repeatable throughout Asia, though, so your recollection remains flawless   

[EoinC]

A few more fireworks shots of the slightly more painterly type, again on expired Provia 400X with the 80 Planar FE.

These are all wonderful, Philip, but this is the stand-out for me. Each time I look, it reminds me of coconut trees...

Thanks. In my former life  , I spent quite some time in China; always bringing two Mamiya 7 bodies and the 43, 65 and 150 mm lenses with me. One body was equipped with ir film, the other with Fuji Provia 100F. And we are talking about loads of film... As co-leader of a scientific research institute in Beijing, I had the chance to travel around in China, visiting remote places, staying at farmer's houses and, once, visiting the Mt Everest base camp on the Chinese side. The evening photo from the base camp was taken during this stay. I remember freezing cold nights and very warm days; a burning sun - and constant altitude sickness... The Chinese colleagues were even more reduced than me, so I went solo with my backpack and tripod to freeze the impressions. I remember I was only able to walk for 5-10 min, then I had to rest for some minutes, before continuing. Quite an experience... And quite a place. Nothing special for alpinists, but very special for the lowlanders among us...

Sheesh, that's a noob mistake because you'd put Mumbai in the title too.  Somehow I'd mentally connected it with Thailand but I agree with you that it's very reminiscent of other Asian locations.  (Note to Self: read the title!)

 

Pete.

Thank you for the background story, Helged. It makes the shot even more interesting.

Very keen observation, Pete.  Spoken like a true engineer!

Adam,

 

A well-planned and very interesting photo particularly for the optical illusion where the fog makes the bridge support look 'lighter' and less able to support the weight of the deck above it - almost as though it should be the other way up (or soon will be ).  Delta 100 shows an excellent range of grey tones too.

 

Pete.

 

Ha, ha, add them to the parade procession, too!  We'll save big on the budget!

These two are incredible.  As is the story behind them.  Congrats and thanks for sharing them!

Great result from the expired film, Adrian.

I must say the skyline looks more pleasing than it does from that vantage point today.  And it is only getting worse!

Slide film - almost certainly Ektachrome, taken November 1990 from the observation deck of the World Trade Center. Scanned in only a few days back.

 

Very dramatic, Philip.  A case in which the extreme blue shadows takes over the image in an artistic sense.

The last two images that I'll post of Xia Mengzhu, from the series of 20-odd shots made last week during her visit from Shanghai, at the Rakuda Photo Artisans (photo lab cum café) in Chiang Mai. The first one is in glamour mode and the second one more whimsical. (M3/DR Summicron/Tri-X in D76.)
