Advertisement Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Hi A miller, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
honcho Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20102 Posted August 18, 2016 nice, and interesting (even curious) choice of film.. You could say! About as stripped-down and lightweight as it's possible to get for shooting squares. I really should put some RVP 50 through it, but the tripod would interfere with the satisfaction I get from making it work. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20103 Posted August 18, 2016 And I was stupid enough to ask a moderator to delete the post I made which ended up at the top of page 1000 in the hope that the Doc would get the chance...Oh well. oh well, you'll have another chance at page 2000 LOL 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20105 Posted August 18, 2016 Very nice Steve. Why would Portra not be a good film for this scene? I'm tempted by one of those little folders as a travel MF camera. Grindsbrook Clough, Edale. A 60 year old camera and a few rolls of film for some fun on the hill. That Solinar bites!

A miller Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20106 Posted August 18, 2016 Very nice Steve. Why would Portra not be a good film for this scene? I'm tempted by one of those little folders as a travel MF camera. Never said it wasnt good film!!!! Having said this, for C41 film, i might have been tempted to use Portra 160, which i would guess would render the stone and mountain in a more neutral and slightly cooler fashion. And i would expect that the sky would potentially come out slightly more pastel blue. So all in all slightly more like a water-color painting look. Given the strength of the form of this image, i am actually thinking that it would make a lovely B&W. Perhaps tri-x with an orange filter for extra contrast and drama (and grain)? The image also looks at least a half stop over exposed on my monitor, perhaps more. Slightly less exposure would bring more details in the clouds and more color in the sky, which would increase the depth of the image. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share #20109 Posted August 18, 2016 Not so unlucky! I really like this with its soft, almost shadowless, greys that comes from diffused light. To my mind, it's much nicer than harsh blacks and baked highlights. Thanks so much Unlucky and ... lucky as you said Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomas Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20114 Posted August 18, 2016 What's Agfa Isolette the first time I hear it ? A camera made by Agfa.

honcho Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20115 Posted August 18, 2016 Very nice Steve. Why would Portra not be a good film for this scene? I'm tempted by one of those little folders as a travel MF camera. Thanks, Phillipus. Portra 400 would not normally be my choice of emulsion for landscape photography. It was what I had to hand at the time, otherwise my stock landscape films for medium format are RVP 50, Delta 100, Fuji 100 and RPX 25. That said, I wouldn't normally be photographing landscapes at the time of day or with the light conditions as they were when I made this image, either. It's a record shot, but it does show what the old Solinar can do with a good modern emulsion. To reply to Adam, the image is slightly overexposed, deliberately as the Portras thrive on slight overexposure. Using P 160 would not have had any great effect in bringing out detail in the sky, because there wasn't any real detail to speak of. In the UK when we have static high pressure in summer, atmospheric haze, dust, pollen and uv saturation conspire to kill contrast. Scenic images look mushy from middle to far distance and it's often best to resort to what GSGary refers to as micro landscapes, ie, the details. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atournas Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20116 Posted August 18, 2016 Lichfield Cathedral. This was an exercise to see how slow a shutter speed I can still hand hold to get away with an acceptably sharp image. 1/8th second with the 28mm lens. For anyone who might care, I'm an habitual right-hand-down-elbows-in-and-trip-the-shutter-with-the-right-thumb photographer when it comes to portrait format with my MP. Right-arm-up-elbow-sticking-out-and-trip-the-shutter-with-right-index-finger just looks wrong to me! Leica MP 28mm f2 summicron asph v1 Fujicolor 200 Linguistically catchy description of a pose that might initiate a new "school" of shooting with small cameras! I find it very interesting, medium-format style. I'm planning to try it the very next time I go out with the M. The photograph is very beautiful, too.

chrism Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20117 Posted August 18, 2016 I'm not sure what I was attempting here, but sometime in 1978 I tried to take photos in near darkness with a Rollei 35 and some form of Fuji colour negative film.

gbealnz Posted August 18, 2016 Share #20118 Posted August 18, 2016 Ah, the 70's, as only those that were "there" will understand. The 60's likewise, and you only made the 70's if you didn't go too far in the 60's. We both survived, that in itself is a blessing. Gary 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
