Adam ha ha , so we'll see soon "schmootzing" pictures :D

ha, ha, we shall see.  I bought into this initial release project a year ago and at that time didn't have the knowledge that I do now.  They say they fixed the problem, but the film is still in the testing stage.  They wanted to send to me 5 rolls of the 35mm format of each of the 800T and 50D, but I told them that they could hang on to it and give it to someone else

Oak Park Illinois 1944. That's me with my grandparents and their Pontiac. Camera unknown. My father had several at the time. No identification on the negatives except the frame number.

 

I wonder if any of my digital images will still be around in 73 years.

wonderful, Doug.  What a terrific moment shot by someone who knew how to capture a moment and the medium to use

Choral rehearsal for a concert :)

 

 

Organ of the time , a part in wood

 

 

 

Film is very sensitive, the Summicron 50 lens is still good and

400 Isos are enough , no need monopod or flash

 

Best

Wow it's great Doug and what a beautiful memory when you look in 2017 :)

The film remained intact during 73 years .You're right Doug, 73 years not enough

recoil for the digital. Not sure, it is better to keep in negative film for our children

and grandchildren rather than binary 1 and 0 in a computer which will become

obsolete .

Thanks for posting

Thank you Henry. Actually, I have the images in three forms. I scanned all of my father's negatives that survived his travels around the country and sent the files to our son. And I made inkjet prints of most of the keepers and sent them to my sister. I'd hate to lose these important family records to a fire or a flood.

After my stressful week of Certification audit last week and having completed my family duties I escaped again for a walk around a local lake which has quite a few swans. All of which are crown property here in the UK and are protected by law. After Adams use of flash for street photography I thought I would experiment with it too, but yesterday outside at 3pm, 2 hours before it starts getting dark now. My first film was Fujicolor Superior X-TRA 400. I have never used it before, so it added to the excitement, but I had just a few shots left. This with the R9, 28-70 & Metz 54 MZ-3.

This was scanned to TIFF and just saved to jpeg from Apple Preview. Colour setting to Neutral on scanner.

When shouting flash and ambient light you have 2 exposures, shutter speed controls your ambient exposure and aperture controls your flash exposure

Yes, you are quite correct and how it is used affects the background. I usually get the effect I want. Sometimes I forget about foreground foliage and it burns out, but that can sometimes be corrected too. Thanks.

 

The R9 and Metz were new to me so I did a lot of experiments. It was quite good. I used flash to black out some distracting backgrounds too.

Never used an R, I have shot loads of flash on digital, never tried flash with my M's I could probably use my triggers and Canon 580ex

Here's some where I used to shoot and print on site with a dye sub printer

Some lovely shots you have. I wish I had the time to set up, but I usually take stuff on the fly. I get what I can when I can and have very little time to think about each shot. Mostly I'm try to keep up with family unless I have taken a couple of hours out of family duties.

 

Kind regards

Doug , it's a shame that you live far

Otherwise I will print for you with my Focomat for b&w on silver paper

It's nicer than inkjet prints

Here are two (un artsy shots) of Tri-X done in TMax RS. This is from a test roll (my first B&W through the M6) at a friend's house. I'm disclosing that because I don't want anybody to think I'm that messy (though my wife might think so) I like the tonality and contrast on the combination. For the record, I forgot I was using Tmax Developer and processed to D76 times from habit... not sure if it's the same or not.

Summaron 35 (?) Maybe it was the 50 Summicron
