Superb framing and nice black

Thank you and glad see you back

We have so much films for choice, I'll try this Adox

I understand now why one famous photographer said : "each new film is a new sensor" :)

Hello Henry,

 

thanks for your kind words.

Unfortunately this ADOX film isn't available any more. It was made by Efke.

But I still have a few in my fridge.

The new ADOX CHM films are probably Kentmere. But there is no 50 ASA film any more.

 

Here is another from the same roll.

Your series of portraits etc are superb!  I would be very interested to know details of film & dev used (details such as these are generally included when we upload images).  Helps to broaden our knowledge!

 

Lot of these pictures are old and i have forgotten the details, film and developer.

Generally i used Ilford Films, Delta 100 and ID 11, 1+1.

I think you've broken Henry's heart.  :)

 

Ian and Rolf, "We always return to his first love"  our french proverb !

Look at me : 7 years of digital photo, a few more years for sound CDs

and now :

I return to film because it is simply beautiful . It's simple, and I return to the record vinyl

The main thing for that , do not sell analogue cameras and its disks

Some have done ... and "they now bite the fingers" , french expression (not my case)

 

Other advantage ... which saves me money, have peace of mind, sleep well at night :)

and not participate in the race of something "imperfect"  that tries to get closer to the film

or imitate it  (but why?) ...   look at M10 thread now , 3 years ago it was M240...

I am patient and I give appointment to Rolf in a few years :)

Thanks Ian to think about me :)

Henry

 

I am listening  Anton Bruckner Symphony n°8 , in vinyl disc and CD (same interpretation) ...

the day and the night between disc (it's enchanting) and CD (agressive)

and in b&w you have this kind of picture , easy if you have only one camera,one lens

and one film roll , not too much expensive in comparison with  6500 Euros for M10

(nude without lens)   and obsolete in 3 years !

Wayne, can you share what developer you are using for the HP5. I just shot two or three rolls of this for the first time. I have D-76 or Xtol (which I've never tried yet) in my arsenal, but I'd be willing to get something else if it's ideal for HP5.

I am using Rodinal 1/50.

One other thing I have tried lately that seems to work well in combating vertical lines I have, in the past, had pretty serious trouble with, is to give the developing tank a sort of gentle circular swirl, following each inversion. It takes about 10 seconds to do a couple inversions every minute, I swirl, alternately, clockwise and counter-clockwise. I am using a Paterson tank with plastic reels. It feels strange to give this advice............I am a rank amateur.

Thanks, Gentlemen. 

Two great pictures with superb color Adam

It's a photo in the artistic sense of the term

Thanks Adam

Amazing shots Adam. The colours are wonderful. I am a fan of landscapes shot with a tele lens. Love your work.

 

Regards,

Ramesh

One last photo from my recent trip to the Top of the Rock observatory.

This one at night with the 250mm Superachromat.

What is interesting about this one is that it was really windy and even with my strong clamp apparatus the length of the lens was very sensitive to movement.  So I took the shot wide open at f5.6 (the lens goes to f32) and the exposure was like 1-2 seconds (which was ok b/c I took the shot b/n wind gusts).

I was expecting some bokeh on the edges, which I thought could actually by cool.  But nope it is pretty damn sharp from edge to edge, which is quite impressive!

At full resolution you can see in many of the office building windows; you can also see parts of the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge...

Thanks wayne. I spent the better part of a few hours searching and reading about HP5 and developer combos with no real conclusion to what is best. I like the look of your pictures - tonality and grain are nice. Most of what I concluded from reading forums is that rodinal makes Hp5 very grainy, X-tol leaves very dull low contrast negatives, but your pictures show a very pleasing grain, unlike the last batch of Tri-X I did with (possibly too old D-76).  I'm not sure what I did, develop too long, too much agitation? But the results stunk, I was not happy, but I am certainly not in the zone with my processing lately. It's been years since the last time I've developed film (apart from the recent Tri-X). So far, I think my best efforts (outside of my college days) were when I first got my Leica several years back and I mistakenly developed Tri-X in TMax RS (not that that is wrong, but I was thinking it was D76 for some reason at the time). The negatives were very nice.

Another amazing image with the foreshortening effect of the longs lens being very effective.
