M7, 50mm lux asph, Portra 160 Great and nice shot Adam The first thing I notice is the color , it's not the same as usual I mean your series of Jerusalem market (M-A) or beach ... and when I read it's another camera (M7 this time) I ask myself if M-A does not bring a plus in color ? A simple question for an expert as you ? Best Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple question for an expert as you ? Best Henry Thanks, Henry. This camera obviously makes no difference. I would say the difference is due to the less saturated portra 160 and the fact that i was shooting into the sunlight which has (quite nicely imo) washed out even more of the saturation and produced a somewhat of a painterly scene. Not my usual thing but i like! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted February 1, 2017 Share #27368 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I find it interesting when I occasionally put aside the faithful B&W film and load the camera with colour. I think one automatically (well I guess I should qualify that as automatically through conditioning) starts to look for things that aren't necessarily the sort of things you'd look for in a black and white photograph, but instead looks for (wait for it) COLOUR. This is not a picture I'd probably have even contemplated taking had I had Tri-X loaded, but I like it solely because of the boldness of the colours: Noumea, New Caledonia 2014 M6TTL, Summicron 35mm, Kodak E100VS Edited February 1, 2017 by stray cat 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 1, 2017 Share #27369 Posted February 1, 2017 This is not a picture I'd probably have even contemplated taking had I had Tri-X loaded, but I like it solely because of the boldness of the colours: Nice. That saturated blue sky could only be a transparency film. Interesting what you say about colour and black and white. I tend to agree that some subjects lend themselves more to one medium than the other but I think your windsock is one that would also work well in black and white. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted February 1, 2017 Share #27370 Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks Ian. I guess as a monochrome picture it could work in terms of the simple graphics. I'm not altogether convinced I'd have made the shot in B&W though all the same. Actually that's an interesting question now that you raise it! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 1, 2017 Share #27371 Posted February 1, 2017 and when I read it's another camera (M7 this time) I ask myself if M-A does not bring a plus in color ? Henry, the camera body cannot make any difference to the colour other than in how it might influence the way the photographer exposes a scene. It is quite possible that somebody might expose a scene differently depending upon whether they are using a handheld (incident) meter or the camera's own reflective meter. This difference in exposure can influence the colour so I suppose your point isn't as crazy as it might initially seem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This difference in exposure can influence the colour so I suppose your point isn't as crazy as it might initially seem. Ian I understand but may be the "eye meter exposure" is better I dont' know if Adam use often lightmeter during his shot I worked currently with my Leicaflex SL without lightmeter and apply a F:16 rule May be this "imperfect" measure gives a color different ... I'll post pictures soon in comparison with my R4S with internal lighmeter. Best H ... An interesting thing Compare two same photos one exposed with the "eye of the master" (F:16) and one exposed with a measuring cell. I'm sure there's a difference ... when I think I get approximate colors with my digital cameras Edited February 1, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with my M7 i rely on my own assessment of the light and dont rely on the meter. I dont find in-camera meters helpful as a general matter. Just my own personal preference. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam thanks for your intervention I'll have a M-A soon and I will compare pictures as I compare digital and analog. No lightmeter (with only his brain) versus lightmeter ! I also think that film has many resources, and has a greater tolerance range when compared to digital and specially in the color, clearly seen by one richer color palette that can bring the film.
