christoph_d Posted June 19, 2017 Share #34801 Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Christopn wow what nice black It scares me Henry Love this one, Christoph. Looks like a much shorter focal length than 35. Reminds of of the famous Muhammad Ali photo of his large fist in the foreground and the rest of his body in the background in bokeh I think this reptile could have given Ali a run for his money Henry, Adam, Michael, thank you. I find that the 35mm lens is quite flexible, sometimes it looks like a 50mm, sometimes more like a 24 or thereabouts. I think that's part of the reason why it is one of the most used lenses for the M. I regret that the top of the head is cut off, but I was simply not tall enough (and did not have a ladder) to get in the right position. The "thing" looked quite scary indeed, and the perspective emphasises that. It is not actually a reptile, but a Diprotodon optimum, the largest marsupial ever to roam the earth, and faintly related to a wombat, it is now (luckily) extinct.

honcho Posted June 19, 2017 Share #34803 Posted June 19, 2017 On another subject, but pertaining to correct exposure: I spent a few hours looking at "400 Photographs, Ansel Adams" on Father's Day (U.S.). I do not know why, but for some reason, I had never really appreciated the brilliance of the man's photographs as I did when I reviewed them this time. I am not sure if having taken so many B&W photographs myself, I now have a better reference to fully appreciate the magnitude of the man's talent, or, if it is something else. At any rate, this time around, it hit me in the face........like a brick. The book does not give information on equipment used for specific photographs, but it is my understanding he did virtually all of his work with large format and Hasselblad, MF gear. I am curious, and ask those more knowledgeable than myself: framing aside, is the brilliance of the man's work more an attribute of exposure?, or, format? Is the same gravity of result possible with 135 film? Please excuse such a novice question, but I was floored. I have never, personally, viewed an actual Adams print. I suppose the experience would be even more dramatic. I am now going to make it a point to see one. I guess another factor to be considered, the photos printed in the book, although reproductions, presented no digital, interpretive barrier between the viewer and the original photographs. A lot of Adams' success came from his printing methods. The improvement in so many of his earlier images, which he revisited years after he had refined his printing techniques, is breathtaking. Exposure and format play their part in the aesthetics of the end result, but they are only two relevant factors out of several that make up the whole. A few years ago, I set myself a personal project to see how close to mf 'quality' I could get with 35mm film and it can be surprisingly close. The caveat is that the methodology needed makes it all a rather pointless exercise, you may as well just use mf in the first place. The real benefit to me was in my greater understanding of the capabilities of various film and processing combinations. Interesting that you use the term 'digital interpretive barrier'. I think it's a good description of bad habits that will never fool anyone who has learnt or been taught how to look at an image. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share #34805 Posted June 19, 2017 Chenonceaux is perhaps the loveliest of les chateaux de la Loire.

honcho Posted June 19, 2017 Share #34817 Posted June 19, 2017 Hi Steve, I think I agree with your statement below, but I would be very curious to get some hints as to how you carried out your project. br Philip One of the standouts was with Agfa APX 25 in Pyro through misty October Peak District drizzle. What an astonishing film APX 25 was, it was a sad day when Agfa discontinued it. Rollei RPX 25 is a good alternative but seems slightly more akin to Pan F, especially in sunny conditions where you can end up with unprintable negatives. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
