This Leica forum and thread is the absolute best. I've been on a good number of the others, including German ones (it's my second language despite being Welsh and half German myself ). It's here with film where the best shots are. The Germans seem to debate more than put actions into words, they'll never change.

Michel thanks for your nice comment, another picture for you , just a little at right.

The view from 2000m is superb

We were hungry after 4 hours of hiking, and we ate in the chalet bottom right

That was delicious :D ... with a bottle of great red wine of Savoie (to prevent my Alzheimer disease :D)

I just feel the need to contribute this evening. I don't usually post shots of family. And if my Mum knew she got posted online I sure I'd be in trouble. It's shots like this that make me realise how great film is.

Les Landes, a department in south-west France, supports large pine plantations. 

 

I'm not sure how the colours came out like they did here. The whole roll rendered a little freakish... comical...saturated...painterly...? I have pulled back the saturation in Photos editor.

Of things related to film, one of my favorites is the appearance of things not quite understood. It is frustrating to see a result and not know how to replicate, but then..........it can not be replicated. I love this shot. It is the sort of thing you could hang on the wall, and from a distance, not be sure if it is a painting or a photograph. At any rate, it is beautiful.

Chris the first thing i am looking for is skin , here it's perfect , you see natural "pores" (very small holes)

Secondly line and edges are "soft"  very pleasant to watch ,  not agressive at all (not cutting)

Finally beautiful and lovely shots !

 

I wish a great longevity for your Mum  :)

Thank you for your kind words, Mums 80 and in the photo she's browsing her iPhone. Really loves technology! I've a great shot of a cheeky daughter but it's not uploaded to Flickr properly so once I'm home later I'll get it onto my iPhone and share it. My daughter is swimming at the moment with her club so I am grateful for the iPhone to keep me occupied.

 

Regards

Here's the photo that I really like of a cheeky little girl, but it's not perfect in that capturing the look I only got focus on furthest eye. I still feel it captures an unrepeatable moment. Captured with the M3 again on Ilford XP2

Of course I love this cheeky madam who is growing up far too fast.

Thanks so much Henry. Another special photograph. The hiking in the mountains sounds terrific, and I never found a good reason to refuse a little vin rouge

 

Best,

 

Michael.

Just south of the town of Prachuab Khirikhan, this picture is taken on the main street of the little town of Khlong Wan. To the left is a restaurant and to the right is a shophouse. Thailand must have one of the highest per capita consumptions of plastic bags in the world, and scenes such as these are common.

The first sunrise of 2017...  :)

The bouquet is leftover from New Year's Eve - perhaps from a marriage proposal, or a first date...?
