Slightly random photo from the summer. Brighstone, IOW.

An attempt at a self-portrait in the window of a moving bus. I need to work on my pre-focusing skills but am pretty happy I managed to press the shutter at the right time. Pure luck of course.

Looks great Ian. Good work on nailing the exposure.

Steve great street photos series and color is superb.

Thanks for posting

The red is really nice. I see you have your Summicron 35 and use Ektar

Is it the Summicron Asph or version IV the king of Bokeh ?

Regards

Henry

Thanks Henry -- It is the summicron ash 35mm, the one that was the most current before it was just replaced in the past year with the version more finely tuned for use with sensors. Was never particularly enamored with this lens on my M9, always seemed to lack character, enjoy it with my M4 and MA better.

 

BTW, the last shot, the one of the buildings was shot with my 50mm DR summicron from 1961 or 1962 ..... fun lens to use.

I was housebound part of this week due to a most annoying (man-)cold. With nothing else to photograph than what's lying about, I turned my Hasselblad to this old hard drive (I tend to take things apart to see what they look like in many pieces). It's a mid-90s Maxtor I used during my student days.

 

Hard drive platters are usually made of an aluminium alloy or a glass-ceramic mix. The key point is that the material needs to be non-magnetic. The latter type platters are quite fragile, but the former are very sturdy and excellent as travel shaving mirrors (a plus also that they don't scratch easily).

 

This was with the 16E extension ring and my 80 Planar at f/11 (!) at close to minimum focusing distance (Acros 100 in Diafine, wet mount).

Hi All,

 

Been a while, but believe me I never forget one of the best threads anywhere on the internet. And bonsoir Henry!

 

All taken with my Rolleiflex 2.8F, and with Ilford HP5+ film. F/8 and a 10 stop neutral density filter (and a red filter). Bright sunny day, so even with reciprocity failure it was "only" three minutes.

 

And where? Definitely not Switzerland, but Australia during our summer holiday there. The actual location is a place called Hamilton Island towards the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef.

Welcome B&W, and you'll enjoy it here, some fine folk.

Lovely timeless picture, very nice. What film etc?

Gary

Most of the time I use Kodak 400Tri-X, sometimes Ilford HP5 plus , but I prefer the Kodak. Two Cameras I use, one of them is the Leica IIIf from 1955, with Elmar lens 3.5 / 50mm from 1936. The other one was my father's Voigtländer Bessa 1, from 1948. I love the 6x9 negatives. In the darkroom, I work with a vintage Krokus. No filter system - the pics as they are. I do not scan my negatives, I scan my photos,. All very primitive. Of course I have a digital camera for the job (Nikon S1) and souvenir pics - but that's a different way to make pictures. In my photos, I try to leave the picture as it comes when develloped. And I don't want to try out many lenses neither - I had that back in the 1980s, it is interesting, but not for what I intend to do now. Keep things as simple as can be and try to get some interesting pics that way.

Here is a picture I took from my grandson, ( beside his dad, my wife is in the front). Also Leica IIIf. Genuine silver print / Ilford Baryt Paper - I hope You enjoy.

And a recent Landscape I shot a couple of days ago with the Voigtländer Bessa 1 ( my dad's old camera from 1948, German, not the modern asian "Bessa" ) . The Bakelite box in that I developped the film cannot be turned - one can only move the film with a stick. And the problem is that the develloper ( Rodinal ) has to be filled up to the top. So one can see the problem I had on one side of the film. I had to "cut off" a small part of the picture. Hope to do that better next time.

Stellar, Philip.  If you don't mind me asking a totally random question, (i)  did you provide yourself any extra exposure compensation, (i) was this entire subject in your viewfinder or did you have to guess as to what would be included and (iii) how much closer did this tube allow you to get, approximately??

Been waiting for shabbos to be done to get your comment -- the only one who noticed, or not too polite to mention. It was actually a bus carrying corrections officers who were, like all uniformed services in nyc, marching in the parade as they march in all ethnic parades in the city . ..... Israel day, St Patricks, PR day, Stuben, Polaski, etc.  The guy in the red hat looking at the camera was showing everyone a picture on his phone of him and Trump in the late 70s/early 80s .... we were all a lot younger and thinner in those days.

I thought the bus may have been (finally) carrying Hillary
