very rich tones, Dirk.  It does, though, look slightly underexposed to me - it would be nice to see a little of what's going on in the streets.  I would have thought that you'd have some of the detail in the negative to extract...

Thanks, Philip.  I agree with you.  If I recall correctly I panned a little b/c the man was moving.  He face and body is quite sharp.  Yes, it was with the SF-24D - low tech for sure and had Harold laughing :)

Very funny, Adam, he must have been really surprised. Was this with the SF-24D?

 

This photo is also a perfect example that engaging and interesting photographs need not be sharp.

Really nice lines and composition in this one.

Nice one, Suede.  Great blacks.

Very interesting photos, Andreas.  This is one of my favorites of the series.   Interesting interaction with the people and an open view of what's going on.  I'll bet that the people are generally very nice and courteous.  At least that's how they appear.

 

Just love the colors on this one!

 

Nice Neil.  But I don't see very much sharpness on this.  I see a little in the table, but not really in the statue.  For a 4x5, f8 isn't really that stopped down.  If you were going for a portrait with the statue in focus on plenty of OOF areas, I think you may have a focus shift issue or focus plane issue.  With those LF cameras, it is generally understood that you need to stop down at least three stops from the widest aperture to start to get corner to corner sharpness.

 

I have to learn how to throw the frame around my images like that.  Gives a really professional look.

Okay so here is my first 4 x 5 .......I know its a boring picture but its just trying to help me understand all the fiddly bits of shooting 4 x 5 Large format.

I am also learning a new Scanner the Epson Perfection V850 using both Vuescan and Silverfast.

The first scan is with Vuescan

The second is with the new Silverfast SE

The first thing I noticed is loads and loads of dust....not sure if its from the loading or from the camera but there was a bunch of dust. (I need to learn how to use the dust removal in Silberfast) The exposure wasn't to bad, I would have liked to have been maybe a 1/2 a stop more under but seeing as it was my first attempt I am happy with the result

I'm looking forward to going out in the field and get some real shots

Below is the final image shot at f8 1/8 ISO 100

Neil I prefer the general rendering of SF. I remind using SF with my Epson V700 and you have 

option "remove dust". My Epson scan is now sold.

Definition , contrast , black and grey tone are superb !!!

It is not sharp but sufficient for me , not agressive for eyes when watching

Thanks Stefan

I must add something important, in analog I don't run behind a sharp race ,

sometimes an imperfect picture like less sharp is also pretty  for me and this

is part of the term  "art" that I mentioned above for film picture . A picture where

everywhere or everything is sharp loses its charm  and I call it "flat", or a photo

where the "structure" is added is a  "plasticized" picture...

 

Henry - Sorry, but the idea of chasing sharpness and structure in digital processing, as if everybody did that, has nothing to do with the issue I raised of presenting film scans that are the equivalent of machine-made, automatic prints, often of a quality of what we knew as "drug-store" prints, and vaunting them for being "without correction". Although I value the contingent nature of film photography, and the possible imperfections, a banal photograph doesn't become good simply because it was made on film: there are excellent film images and there are excellent digital images.

 

What I find tiresome, though, is the incessant derogation of digital. This thread would be more interesting and entertaining without that.

I want to talk about the final image in any manner whatsoever

and I know that some prefer sharp in adding more structure

 

I agree that the MM can give images ..... that sometimes resemble the film

Some present the images of the new M10 as closer to the analog

...  but I agree with you , instead to images... 

 

I think that Wayne or Adam or perhaps Phil has the same judgment like me

 

That said, as I have said several times , you are free to use the types of cameras

that you want.  As we are in a thread "I like film" I would like to demonstrate the opposite

of what the majority marvels at a picture I call "synthesis" with approximate colors

(see my previous post with color of the beach) or inhomogeneous black in b&w.
