Hartmut - these are really working well.It's interesting to know where this street art has been taken, as I'm sure that (for example) Berlin's street artists will have different sensibilities/interests/concerns than those of other cities. A very rich vein to explore.

 

 

A classic cloudless blue hour pano view....

Adam, at the risk of repeating myself - well, I think you know by now. I really want you to publish a book of these magical NYC mediium format views so they can all be seen in their glory together. Oh, and another book on your blizzards!

 

So here is the contact print............To my eyes the contact print is 10 x better than the digitise one...what do you think?

 Contact Print....the forum cropped the bottom but its there

Digitised

Wow! As Henry mentions from time to time - look at the comparative harshness of the digital version to the softness and sensuousness of the way the contact print just naturally forms a coherent whole - it's as if the vase and flowers are right there to touch and feel. Probably by itself the digital one would look fantastic, but when we're presented with the comparison - there's no contest!

I've just spent several days sorting out my recent film photos, I'll post a selection of them over the next few weeks. My apologies if I repeat one or two I can't remember what I may have posted before.

Hello Mike,

 

Nice photo.

 

If you have this & other railroad photos that you might want to put in the German Form, you can write in English.

 

Look under "Technik & Industrie" & then under "Faszination Eisenbahn".

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

 

Unfortunately these were not taken with a Leica.

 

Edited to add, I just remembered I also took a bunch with my D-Lux 109, I will post some there.

Thank you Adam and Michael for the comments above. This train is abandoned in the town of Victoria, Arkansas.

How is that cabinet working at keeping the dust off?

Mike I'm getting next to no dust so my gut feeling is it's working wonders. The film also seems to dry quicken

Excellent! Did you put a fan and filter in it or is it just a glass cabinet?

Teufelsberg is a man-made mountain and US listening post on the north-west fringe of Berlin It was active during the Cold War. It has four domes (metal triangulated frames with two layers of heavy duty canvas) inside which were the rotating radar dishes. It was, for a long time like so may other abandoned sites, visited only by the alternate youth who partied and hung out there. Today it even rates on tripadvisor as a must see if you like that sort of thing. I found it all intriguing and couldn't help but feel like a boy again exploring unknown and 'dangerous' territories. There is an 8euro entrance fee that the people who live in the nearby caravans ask for. It's a 'Workplace Health and Safety' nightmare with all sorts of sharp hazards and wonky restraining fences on the upper floors of the main dome. No lights in some places mean you have to use your iphone flashlight app. :D A little edgy but in a good way. I was advised to go through the nearby Drachenberg forest so as not to be seen but laughed when I arrived at the gate to be greeted by a group of pensioners who had come up the service road.

 

The graffiti has some common themes with repeated characters whose origin I don't know about. All-in-all it's just one huge canvas used by many artists over the years in a unique location with an interesting history.

I was wondering why your prints looked a little strange Neil, then I figured out what they were. Wow, monster negatives! Superb.

 

This is with Rolleiflex (on the floor, needed 1/8s) and HP5+, from the Museum of Contemporary Art.
