I thought that I would elaborate on the concept I wrote about above — of two intersecting circles of film and digital rendering characteristics: the area of overlap (i.e., common properties between the two), in my mind, is very large — and on either side is a small crescent: in the crescent on the left are the properties unique to film and on the crescent on the right the properties unique to digital. So, for me, the unique properties of film are a very narrow crescent, represented by the dark landscape that I posted (and by the film street portrait, also dark). Because I am right now interested by that dark vision, it seems worthwhile to shoot film. The downside, for me, is that often, when I shoot a highly detailed shot with film, I get something that would have been better done with, say, my M-Monochrom. I should add that I'm not up to shooting both film a digital — I'd rather go with "binges" of, say, 6-12 months of each

 
The following three shots are, to me examples, of film shots, with a high level of detail, that would work better with my M-Monochrom. Any thoughts?
 
The three shots were taken at Dan Sing Khon, a Thai border town at the Singkhon Pass (Maw Daung in Burmese), across the Tenasserim Hills on the border between Thailand and Burma. The pass is close to the narrowest point of Thailand in Prachuab Kiri Khan Province. It has a brace of little shops selling jewelry, souvenirs and orchids from the adjacent Burmese forest, illegal in Thailand.
 
The third shot, of the bicycles: Not sure why these rusted old bikes are on sale. Who would buy them? But it was so hot and humid that I didn't have the energy to ask.

Looking down at (IMHO) the world's greatest metropolis during the warm evening light

The street cutting diagonal is 5th Avenue, with the large steeple Church being St Patrick's Cathedral.

Fall leaves of Central Park in the upper left

From the Top of the Empire State Building.

Has 503cw, 250mm Sonar Superachromat, Ektar

Wonderful shot but take care of you

Superb color Adam

Mitch here are consistent images , not flat , not impressive but who speak ! Really

Thanks for posting and speaking comparison with your digit shots

Very interesting in one film thread

 

I have proven with you all here , along these more than 1000 pages of photos

That there is something that digital does not have, I do not need any further evidence

Thanks to the many contributors.

Best

This one is a wonderful shot Christoph , at the right moment

It seems you didn't have a good light condition in these streets

and yet you get "natural" pictures "not artificial" you know what I mean

Best

Henry

 

Henry,

 

The lighting was fine, to be honest. However I had just taken a picture against the sun and had forgotten to set the exposure for the more subdued light in the alley when the boy suddenly came running along. I was temporarily desperate when I noticed seconds later, the picture is about 5stops underexposed ... :( , however I still like the result :)

For Dave - Sailing 200 nm out from Carnarvon in the Indian Ocean, we got becalmed, and i took a dip. This is probably a good time to have trustworthy mates, and not to have had a major argument before going over the side (Kodachrome - Canon F1N w/ FD 17mm in Ewa housing)...

Terrific shot Rocky. Widelux seems like a cool camera. And for being at EI12800 the result is remarkable. What developer was used?

I've been a bit obsessed with panos lately. Another widelux shot with trix @12800. Such a fun travel companion

My answer is that I think they work perfectly well on film as they are.

 

I'm never interested in discussing film vs digital, and esp not in this thread, but would only say that if you want to resolve maximum amount of detail then Tri-X is not the best choice; TMax 400 would probably have been better.

 

In any event, so many things affect the result on film, an important one being the developer used. Add to that that a hybrid workflow introduces further aspects to consider, such as the scanner and software used, the operator's skill at using them and how the scan was post-processed.

Hi Philip, I bought TMAX 400 recently, I will have to test it but I do not agree in full with you about TX

I think it's a film that can be used in places where light is low or almost no light at all , like in the case of Nowherman.
