Wayne Posted June 17, 2018 Share #50981 Posted June 17, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Deep indeed, and yes, I had to resort to checking what it was. Where do you source film pray tell? Gary It came with the re-loadable 16mm cassettes. My Minox experience made that part of it a cake-walk. the tricky part is threading the the film through the advance mechanism.....which works perfectly. Advancing film feels very much like winding up a toy made in the 60s. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted June 17, 2018 Share #50982 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) I just exposed my last hand rolled Fomapan 400 Action. I misfocused a good number of photos (probably a good 60-70%). I misfocused the photos with the subjects at a certain distance shooting usually at F5.6-8 and, strangely, my wife did the same when shooting me. I don't blame camera+lens, of course. The close-ups, which I usually screw up, came out fine. The positive thing is that taking photos is not my job and I can screw up as much as I want Here's one of those that look fine to me. Nikkormat FT2, Nikkor 50/1.4, Fomapan 400 20180615-DSC00329 by antoniofedele, on Flickr This is a magnificent portrait. Timing and character. I think what you have managed to do would have been pretty much as captivating, no matter the film, lens, or camera. What a memory you have created for yourself!

A miller Posted June 17, 2018 Share #50989 Posted June 17, 2018 Ernest! Another poetic masterpiece that transcends my snappy snaps!! Love it!! Thank you for being you! Your blur renditions beg a much wider conversation, the underpinnings and strategies involved with the apparent as opposed to the implied image. What's there that isn't there. Issues of ambiguity versus clarity. Intimation of time dictated by the constraints of exposure in motion blur. And, so forth. Lately, you, Wayne, and Philipus have been producing very creative images that merit further discussion. Your Flatiron Building does more than suggest motion, the passage of time captured, but by layering the signage from the back of the bus, you produce a kind of three-dimensional effect. This is different than the ghostly effect Philipus gets with his streak blurs (reminiscent of Gerhard Richter's squeegee and strip paintings) or the kind of muted OOF blur in Wayne's Wanderlust. I will come back to this with some of my thoughts, so we can continue the discussion and hear what Phil has to say, as well. Rog (or Ernest), either one works Great colors from the Portra 400, Gary. I really like the first one in particular. Lots to look at!! Continuing with Cinque Terre. R6 with 35 Summicron & 24 Elmarit. Portra 400 Plustek 8100 Gary Really nice colors, Philip. And the bokeh works really well with the silhouette. London, Nov 2017 Flickr 85/1.8 Ektar X1 Wow, this is a stunning abstract. Very creative!!

Wayne Posted June 17, 2018 Share #50990 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Flatiron Building, NYC SWC, Delta 400 flat.jpg Quite a stunning photograph. For some reason it makes me think of the history of the city. For me, the building is the Iconic NYC structure. Ownership of the building must bring a bit of status to the fortunate New York City real estate maven. It is hard to believe it is no older (1902) than it is.

Adrian Lord Posted June 17, 2018 Share #50991 Posted June 17, 2018 A cliched shot perhaps, and not really my usual taste but I am posting it because it shows how the super angulon 21mm f4 creates 18 point sunstars with the 9 bladed aperture diaphragm.

AntonioF Posted June 17, 2018 Share #50993 Posted June 17, 2018 Very nice Antonio! It has a look similar to the 1970's. Please some more Thanks! Fomapan 400 looks kind of vintage sometimes! I had fun shooting a whole bulk roll of that. This is a magnificent portrait. Timing and character. I think what you have managed to do would have been pretty much as captivating, no matter the film, lens, or camera. What a memory you have created for yourself! Thank, Wayne. I shot a few portraits that day, but this is the one I personally prefer overall. Why Antonio? Before I realised the Nikkormat, I assumed the M3 and 50mm. But how/why so many misfocussed shots with the SLR? Gary Honestly, I have no idea how I misfocused that many shots. Operator error for sure. The Nikkormat is already loaded and operational; it has been my usual take-along camera lately, I can keep it in the backpack when I go to work without problems. This time I loaded it with a roll of Astrum/Svema 400 which I saw from Wayne a few weeks ago. I think after this roll I'll start using again the Nikon F, although its light seals are crumbling away. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted June 17, 2018 Share #50995 Posted June 17, 2018 Thanks a lot, Wayne. I agree. Some buildings just have more mojo than others. This one has a double dose. Quite a stunning photograph. For some reason it makes me think of the history of the city. For me, the building is the Iconic NYC structure. Ownership of the building must bring a bit of status to the fortunate New York City real estate maven. It is hard to believe it is no older (1902) than it is. Very nice light, Adrian. Well done!

stray cat Posted June 17, 2018 Share #50997 Posted June 17, 2018 Flatiron Building, NYC SWC, Delta 400 flat.jpg Adam, even from you - and we've come to expect some outstanding images as par for the course from you - but sometimes a photograph can transcend many boundaries. This is one such. As Rog points out, it is both at a time and yet timeless. Only still photography can do this. What human mind could conjure such a juxtaposition were it not there in the first place? This space, occupied in real time as the shutter was open (surely a conscious and premeditated decision on the part of the artist) by a "see more spend less" juggernaut speeding through, demanding its slice of space and time in front of such an iconic building. And what a building - from the earliest explorations by Stieglitz, which were begun just after the building was completed, this New York icon has captured the imagination of artists. And this picture ups the ante - it is that good. Sometimes a photograph just makes you stare in wonder. This is one such picture. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again you, Rog and others have shared insights into ways of looking at life that only a true artist can possess. This is a scene that is sooo oft-shot that it is difficult to make it your own. It is a real challenge and one that I have taken up more of late and will do so even more once my 53mm Biogon gets back from the technician (the 6x9 in portrait position is really the best POV of my gear-choices)! This Sunday, the Flatiron will be the starting point of the annual LGBT Pride Parade. I hope to be there locked and loaded! Thanks again, Adam 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted June 18, 2018 Share #50999 Posted June 18, 2018 Looking forward very much to seeing pictures of the parade!

Nikkormat FT2, Nikkor 50/1.4, Fomapan 400 20180615-DSC00329 by antoniofedele, on Flickr Antonio I completely agree with others. This is an outstanding portrait that could only be made by someone and of someone with a lot of love for each other in their hearts. Very very special. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
