This photo I like, the sun was in just the right place for me to get the white foliage of an extended red film.

I absolutely love Your pictures - all of them. I do not have an ounce of Your knowledge and professionalism. I learned developping photos at college, in 1969. Had that opportunity for one year. Then I sometimes went to the darkroom much later, when my wife did a lot of photo work. She gave all material away when digital photography came - and I always had some regrets. Then the photographer of the neighbour village, retired for 12 years, offered me the Krokus he had bought as a student, in the early 1960s. THAT was when my wife was two weeks to visit her family in France. So when she came back, I had re-created a simple darkroom and I started develloping the photos I shot. Yet I feel like a complete newbee in this place. I have little technical knowledge, basical should I say - and try to see what I shoot in a way that allows some kind of pictures depending on feeling rather than profound knowledge.

So all this said, I hesitate to post pics as Your photos look so much more pro and better than all I'll be able to do. This all said, trying to be on-topic : here's a pic I shot in winter in Firenze, Italy. In front of the "Annunciatione " Fresco by Fra Angelico in San Marco. ( Leica IIIf / Elmar 3:5 / 50 lens Kodak 400TX - photo on baryte paper scanned to upload)

Nice colors........if you had given the right hand side just a wee bitty more room then LR or PS could quite easily correct the distortion............but if you had planned it this way then great you certainly managed to get that leaning tour of pizza look :)

Thanks Neil for your suggestion :)

I have an "old" LR 2 and I cannot correct but as Mike and you said , it gives a certain charm for an english "pisa" tower

Have a nice trip to India and take care of you and your cameras !

The effect can also be controlled in LR depending upon how much crop room you have surrounding the frame

That perspective distortion always used to bug me but now I have one film camera with a 24mm lens and I exaggerate the distortion as much as possible sometimes. Love the picture, I'll be there in a few weeks. :)

Yes Mark I know you can correct in new LR 5 , but I don't want to purchase more software

because I don't need for film :) , so I stay with my old LR2.

Thanks for your advice.

 

 

 

 

During my last humanitarian mission, the economic situation is catastrophic in some regions in Asia,
No more water like here in this basin for farmed fish. I am afraid that the poor will become poorer
It is drought and it does not rain enough .

 

Now for color, color is perfectly reproduced by the Portra 160 for the sand ,
nothing to do , not need correction  >  advantage film :)

Hi Henry,

 

From my own experience, any standard lens of focal length 35mm and wider will produce that "Pisa Tower" effect if shooting while tilting the camera---and yes, it has its charm!

 

I own a MIREX tilt & shift adapter that allows me to use Hasselblad lenses on Canon EOS bodies. In the past, I used it on a 5DII, until I got fed up with all those digitals and sold it. I'm about to use it on a EOS 1 or similar. The combo is heavy and bulky but it is fun! Plus the Carl Zeiss lens!

Yes nice picture

I think it's in Frejus Pagoda no ?

Thanks for posting Jean Marie

 

As I said to Philip above, we are all convinced here, the film is the best medium for the photography !

and only a few diehards as we all continue to shoot with film :)

Regards

Henry

You are right, Henry - Fréjus. I made some other shots around there, a nice and quiet place. At least in winter. And as You say: we are maybe crazy - but the way we consider old school / fim photography is something else. And at least there are some people still around who feel the same way. Makes me think of the John Lennon song, "Imagine" -" but I'm not the only one" ;-)
