Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Here's the sacrilege-cropped version :ph34r:

I kind of prefer the crop. I think it works better with the horizontal lines in the picture.

 

PS. Though both are nice, I also prefer the cool rendering of provia. Great shot no matter what emulsion it is taken on :)

My apologies. Without thinking I seem to keep reorganizing my Zenfolio galleries after I post a picture and the picture gets lost. here's that Pompidou Centre shot again:

Phil,

 

Excellent, the decisive moment, perfect exposure in difficult circumstances and even a guitar player in the background to provide the music! And I love the grays of APX 100.

So this is the Ektar version of the scene I just shared.  Taken within a minute or so of the Provia 100F photo shares above, and look at the difference in color palette!  The Fuji tilted more toward the blue/greens and the Ektar tilted more toward the warm tones....

Now that I am focused on it, this Ektar version is growing on me!!!  Thanks, Phil!  :D

Adam,

 

I like all three versions of your picture; in their simplicity they remind me of the b&w work of Michael Kenna. I think the preference would swing dependent on the space AND colour of the wall/surrounding where such a picture would be hung (or the layout and format of a book).

Here's a lovely pre-dawn "Fuji Provia 100F moment" on the beach of the Dead Sea. Fuji's strength at rendering blues and greens are showcased here nicely, me thinks.

The first is the full uncropped 6x6 frame.

The second is a 16X9 frame.

Which do you like better???

Many thanks for any input.

I prefer uncropped, perfect rule of thirds happening there. Is rule of thirds still relevant, I don't know haha ... but beautiful photo!

As Sunny16 wrote ... I also would prefer the uncropped version and I would think that the Ektar the perfect film is. :D

Ektar it is (awesome film), uncropped. Did you try 7:6 crop? I often find to crop 6x6 shots to 7:6.

Chamonix 8x10

 

 

Lost

What's this Neil? HP5 in Rodinal?

Great image! Motivates me to move forward from 4x5 to 8x10. I can get a Tachihara secondhand, but it's so heavy... The Chamonix's are real handy

Super shot, really love it, the way the film captured the smoke, the flecks of accelerant, the flame, the fine moustache of the gentleman rear left and the distinctive windows of the Pompidou centre. 

Awesome!

 

My apologies. Without thinking I seem to keep reorganizing my Zenfolio galleries after I post a picture and the picture gets lost. here's that Pompidou Centre shot again:

I like nature in its imperfect state too Ian, nice colour and detail.

Haven't posted a butterfly photo for a while. There's a tendency amongst butterfly photographers (as was the case with collectors) to target pristine, newly emerged examples. Personally, I rather like many of the tattier, more worn specimens which have lived a bit (albeit only for a few days). I don't think I've posted this one before. A female Common Blue. Portra 400 and Macro Elmar-M.

Wow, zing! Some digital post-manipulation? Or just great light and a polariser?

A riot of great colour whichever way.

Speaking of Ektar:
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park in Chinatown, Vancouver.
Contax G2, Zeiss G Biogon 21mm and Kodak Ektar. Scanned with Hasselblad X1.

Lots of other super shots too, I try not to quote everyone but love the third reflection most Philip and your back garden looking very impressive there Neil. ;)

 

Ektar and uncropped all the way for me with that one too Adam. I tend to crop 6x6 to 4x5 'for the print' if I am cropping.

 

 

 

Rolleiflex, HP5

I keep heading to this park to get this shot (or a variation on it) and getting stiffed with bad light. I did get a bird this time at least, needed a push to get it sharp though.

This one for the reason there's more of the lovely colours to stimulate one's vision.

I gave a portrait photography workshop the past week and the hired male model couldn't come since he got ill... so... I doubled as a teacher AND model.

 

Here is one of the results shot by one of the attendees on a Leica R8 with 50mm Summicron-R.

The Chamonix are really not that heavy. I only have and use one lens.

I used LC29. Think that's what they call it.

It's odd....for some reason my brain responded to the pair in the exact opposite of the reality: the first appeared to be a crop of the second. I like the 16:9.

It is strange. Here you have a brilliant photograph of a guy blowing flame out of his mouth, and I cannot prevent myself from focusing on the gentleman on the left edge of the photograph: he looks like he was pulled from a photograph taken in the early twentieth century.

 

Best,
