Doc Henry Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share #33481 Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) @Henry, I remember a photograph, taken in GB, I think it was at Buckingham Palace, where they memorialize the dead of WW1 with a number of porcelain poppies- I believe equal in number to the dead of that tragic conflict. Have you ever seen photographs of the display? It appears magnificent. I cannot imagine the magic your camera could bring in presenting it. Wayne you mean the Tower of London in poppies in 2014 as Michael has posted (sorry Michel not notice your post) http://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/history-and-stories/tower-of-london-remembers/about-the-installation/#gs.GBXxVK4 Rg Henry .... and I like this for the music and composition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdLh0K_E_dI Edited June 1, 2017 by Doc Henry 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christoph_d Posted June 1, 2017 Share #33483 Posted June 1, 2017 These are compelling images, Christoph, and I tend to agree with Gregor (Ratzfatz) that they may be among your best of the tattoo series. Again, the contrast inherent in the tattoos against the skin tone brought about largely by the use of the IR film is beautifully realized. Phil, Gregor, Henry, all, Thank you for your comments. For your perusal and for comparison a portrait I made under comparable circumstances using a normal film, though I did not make any direct comparison shots. Welcome, dear visitor!

Steve Ricoh Posted June 1, 2017 Share #33484 Posted June 1, 2017 I don't think I've posted this pair here before - apologies if I have. The first picture I took in 1980, when I was looking for pictures for a photography course I was doing at the time. It has since become one of my favourite photographs : Rowers, South Yarra, 1979 Canon AE1, FD 100mm f2.8 SC, Agfapan 100 The second was just a few years ago, 32 years after the first one was taken, when I decided to revisit the location and see if I could recapture something like the first picture: Rowers, South Yarra, 2012 Canon A1, FDn 100mm F2, Kodak E100VS I remembered I'd used 1/8th or 1/15th of a second, so I just kept shooting to see what I'd get (a bit like I'd done with the first photo). As Henry alluded to above, with our tangible film negatives or transparencies these sorts of things will always be possible. It might also be possible with digital, but if I were wanting to make sure of it, I'd always stick with film to give you a solid, real, palpable object. Absolutely fantastic, artistic photography, I'm almost struck for words - I just wish I had your vision. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say this is also a great portrait, sure! From my point of view the question of which film was used that is not the point.

Guest )-( Posted June 2, 2017 Share #33488 Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks Richard, sent them an exploratory e mail, see what gives. You and that cursed Adam Miller have me chaffing at the SWC bit. While I will always struggle to turn out golden hour shots like he does, your mono stuff is also exceptional, you'd have to be happy with the way it's working. I really need to get mine out and get a bit more familiar, certainly before it goes on holiday. Gary Thanks Gary. I'm more than happy to say that Adam is a far more experienced and capable SWC user than me. (Do you ever use the Ground Glass/RMFX Finder Adam? I contemplate getting it but have never bothered with a tripod so far with this camera.) But I certainly love my SWC hugely. The point and shoot nature of it is very liberating, it never disappoints. I have many more architectural shots with it but they do tend to be similar subjects. I'd be lost without the spirit level on it but viewfinder/focus aid, somehow not so much. I could easily get by with the SWC and a Rolleiflex (or two! and maybe just an M3/50mm!!) The size/handling of both MF cameras makes an enormous difference to me in practical use, such that I long for the weekend to come and an opportunity to take them out to play. I don't think I've posted this pair here before - apologies if I have. The first picture I took in 1980, when I was looking for pictures for a photography course I was doing at the time.

It might also be possible with digital, but if I were wanting to make sure of it, I'd always stick with film to give you a solid, real, palpable object. Just superb Phil, I love the capture of motion and with such pleasing shape and form, just perfect in b&w. The colour would be a great shot at any time but the b&w is perfection. And a really nice take on 'Melbourne' as well. This is an early Rolleiflex shot where I didn't advance properly. I probably should have put the lens cap on for the second exposure but went with the obvious tree instead. (HP5+, DD-X) (I messed up the multiquote, sorry) - I also love that lazy summers afternoon shot ChrisM, and the beautiful colours of Portra 160 (and 400) Henry.

stray cat Posted June 2, 2017 Share #33491 Posted June 2, 2017 Really nice effect in picture and film reproduces very well this effect movement All in softness it's great Thank you Phil for this demonstration Best Henry Stunning pictures, I like the first one most. Cheers Theodor Wonderful. Every once in a while I see a photograph that encapsulates the "photography as Art" discussion. This is such a photograph. In the rowers, captured by the emulsion, is the human form in exactly the presentation seen so often in- what I perceive to be- impressionist paintings of dancers. But they are humans; not somebody's perception of humans. Extraordinary. The AE1. What a great camera....in it's day. Absolutely fantastic, artistic photography, I'm almost struck for words - I just wish I had your vision. These are great Phil. Especially the first. Very organic and love the symmetry of motion. Phil, I am fascinated form the first photo ... this is art!! Chapeau... Best Gregor Just superb Phil, I love the capture of motion and with such pleasing shape and form, just perfect in b&w. The colour would be a great shot at any time but the b&w is perfection. And a really nice take on 'Melbourne' as well. I can't thank you all, and everyone who has been so kind as to look at my photos, for the incredible generosity of spirit and kindness that has been shown on this thread. It is a wonderful place to hang out and I am so glad I found you all. I love that everyone has their own particular and unique vision and that we all see the world through eyes that recognize different wonders and appreciate things from perspectives that illuminate and educate the rest of us. This is what sharing and co-operation, and that wonderful word interdependence, is all about. And I love that we all use wonderful film, and the quirky and beautiful cameras that will last and last well beyond ourselves, as will the pictures we make with them. Thank you. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted June 2, 2017 Share #33495 Posted June 2, 2017 These two are among your best, Wayne. The quiet reflectiveness that we're afforded by these pictures over a way of life that we can't possibly know is a gift that well-observed pictures such as these afford us. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted June 2, 2017 Share #33496 Posted June 2, 2017 I Love this one, Phil. Took a trip down to the Land of the Long White Cloud a few years ago, and took this unpeaceful activity on an otherwise VERY peaceful lake: Te Anau, New Zealand 2010 Leica R8, Elmarit-R 135mm f2.8, Ilford FP4+ This is so beautiful, Henry. Thank you Theodor for posting another picture Very nice black and white tonality Best Henry Great, Gregor! I am sorry, but I can't handle the function of upload correctly ... I guess GER_R2_Berlin_TMAX400_07_listo.jpg Film, location and Scanner as above Wow, the first is magical, Phil. I don't think I've posted this pair here before - apologies if I have. The first picture I took in 1980, when I was looking for pictures for a photography course I was doing at the time. It has since become one of my favourite photographs : Rowers, South Yarra, 1979 Canon AE1, FD 100mm f2.8 SC, Agfapan 100 As Henry alluded to above, with our tangible film negatives or transparencies these sorts of things will always be possible. It might also be possible with digital, but if I were wanting to make sure of it, I'd always stick with film to give you a solid, real, palpable object. Richard - Yes, I use both the GG and RMFX prism all the time for cityscapes and anything else with a tripod, which I use nearly all of the time. These and the spirit bubble are essential in getting max control from the camera. You are getting excellent result from yours. Love that pencil look of the Delta... Thanks Gary. I'm more than happy to say that Adam is a far more experienced and capable SWC user than me. (Do you ever use the Ground Glass/RMFX Finder Adam?
