Another one from the beach in Tel Aviv...

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 ?

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!

You forget to say that the choice of the exposure is you , no ?

may be the difference is there

and you also posted many beach pictures in contre jour ... but with not the same rendering IMO

First image from a film camera for along long time. M6TTL, summicron 35 ASPH and first time I've loaded an image let's hope it works.

 

Seems to work great :) Welcome to the thread.

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:

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.

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. :D

Sure as in this picture of Phil , it's better in color than b&w

In color only you can see this vivid red  :D

You agree with me ?

Superb red

 

 

 

Fog is better in b&w and poppies better in color I think :D

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.

... 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

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!

 

Phil sure it's not the same IMO in comprison with your MM.

Please post pictures when you compare both cam. with same subject and lens

It'll be interesting for all of us :) Thanks in advance

Henry - i now understand you better and agree with Ian that relying on one's own reading of the light may - for better or worse - produce results that are different than if an in-camera meter is relied on. 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.

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.

An example of the color palette in this picture.

Color is not easy to reproduce that's why digital color is not yet satisfying
