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

A few months back I shot this scene, in color, with Praktiflex and Pentax 35mm M42 lens.

 

 

 

Olympus Pen F, Zuiko 38 1.8, FP4, Rodinal 1/50

 

Wayne, this little Olympus camera seems to suit you and the way you work. They (this wonderful picture especially) remind me very much of a black and white version of the kind of effects Christoph has been getting with such devastating effect on his Italian walk pictures. Both are superb examples of technique appropriate to, and complementing, subject.

 

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,

 

Wayne

 

Thank you Wayne. I have pondered this gentleman myself. Could it be that Stalin survived and moved to Paris?

 

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.

Thank you so much Christoph. Again, an interesting detail pulled from what is a fairly blurred-out background. I loved my first taste of Paris - music and street theatre and colour everywhere. And Parisian girls!

 

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!

 

Thanks so much Coogee. This was on a negative sheet that I hadn't even made a proof sheet of. I kind of remembered the picture and the circumstances when I looked at the negative last night, and decided to scan it. I was pleasantly surprised to find this picture!

Thanks, Phil.

 

Earlier I posted a photograph taken at same time/place with Linhof Master Technika, Yesterday, I developed the roll from the Pen F and could not help but think that the Pen F photograph represents the spirit of the abandoned elevator site better than the Linhof photo. It, the Pen F photograph, is certainly not as good from a technical standpoint. But yet........

 

 

As far as the fire-eater photo goes, "The Great Comrade" did cross my mind.

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.

A most sincere thanks to every for taking the time to provide feedback.  The insights are really valuable to me.  :) 

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 :)

 

 

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).

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

Best

Gregor

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

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.

Peter- This photo should be added to the Kodak Ektar "wall of fame."  Truly stellar!

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

Very nice, Jip.  Hope the workshop was successful.

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.

 

 

 

Fantastic greens in this one, and a wonderful photo all around.  Thanks for sharing.

An odd one indeed, Wayne.   I guess people are simple-minded in that part of the town :)

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....

attachicon.gifcompare1 Ektar.jpg

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

 

 

 

 

Adam,

 

I so much prefer the Ektar to the Provia. Furthermore I can see why you cropped it the way you did, the uncrossed 6x6 better highlight the graduated colours in the sky and water.  So for me 6x6 Ektar.

And, the subject and framing is fabulous.

I usually prefer uncropped no matter what the format but in this case maybe somewhere in between? Perhaps 3:2 or 7:5 rather than 16:9?

This is a very beautiful photograph Neil. If in colour it could be an impressionist painting.

Cheers mate. Unfortunately I don't know of anywhere in Malaysia when I can get cooler 8x10 developed. Even B&W 8x10 I have to do myself........which is fine as ai really enjoy doing it.

I think the square looks better. Put a nice 4" white border on it with a nice frame and hang it on a wall

Hi Adam - I prefer the cooler colours of the Provia for this scene.  I'm going back and forth between the cropped and un-cropped versions, but am leaning towards the 16x9.  Of course, all three versions are excellent.

After all this talk about medium format and FP4+, I took the Mamiya C330 out on the weekend to shoot some for myself.  Here's one of the results:
