Advertisement Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Hi gbealnz, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
philipus Posted June 2, 2017 Share #33502 Posted June 2, 2017 First one is truly superb, Phil. Very well done. 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. I think this is the best version of the scene so far, Adam. Golden Hour, Lower Manhattan SWC, Ektar Lower Manhattan.jpg 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share #33513 Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) I would like to bring you my testimony that climate warming is not a TV game. It actually happens every day, in all countries in the world and especially in South East Asia.I was on mission for several years and I noticed that at the last mission we were working under extremely difficult conditions under the heat . I am the visual witness and you can not tell me I lie ! Here are some pictures I took during this medical humanitarian mission. I care the mother of this gentleman , responsible for monitoring the basin of water ,the size of a large lake. During a break, he took me to see the reservoir where the water source is and he told me that the water becomes very difficult to find, its source decreases from year to year , as you can see from the level of the water in background and according to him, it will go down again. The population may no longer have water in the years to come, there will be misery and famine. In addition it does not rain, it is drought and the outside temperature is 41 ° C the heat wave !

christoph_d Posted June 2, 2017 Share #33518 Posted June 2, 2017 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. Phil, Thank you for your well-chosen words, that, to me, capture so well a lot of what I feel, see and experience on this thread. And also thank you for your pictorial contributions; quite frequently you show those iconic pictures, the B&W rowers are just one of them, that remind me why I love photography, and that show the endless possibilities that we have to freeze a small piece of time onto paper.

christoph_d Posted June 2, 2017 Share #33519 Posted June 2, 2017 Christoph, thank you for posting. 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. Your portraits are great ... and I am not a fan of tattoos, I have not one. But it was pleasure to look at your portraits. Best Gregor Gregor, Thanks for your comments. While the main point of photography is - of course - the picture, I thought at least some on this forum may be interested in the film used, and a comparison picture - even if not shown side by side - can make it clear what impact the choice of film can have in the final result. I find that, as a photographer, making portraits in the street, I have to interact in some ways with my subjects. Some of them clearly have - how shall I put it - different interests/cultures from those that I normally pursue/are engulfed in, and I find those interactions enriching as I get insights that I would never have got without a camera... So when I set out I had not idea what I would find and how people would react. And all of the people on the pictures were extremely friendly and helpful, were proud to show the pieces of art embedded in their skins, and I am happy to show them, even though - like you - I am not a fan of tattoos myself. One of the persons who was just leaving the tattoo convention centre sported a newly set tattoo, still covered in a transparent foil, which I understand is put on top of the tattoo to stop bleeding from the needle. He also proudly mentioned the name of the artist, which unfortunately was lost on me for above mentioned reason... Welcome, dear visitor!
