I don’t think the problem lies in Germany. Nor with special editions. CS is semi-autonomous

Here are some recent shots, Ilford XP2, Leica M4-2 canon serenar 50mm f1.5

Just wonderful"decisive" captures. I confess that the last one had me a bit perplexed, as it seemed to me that something was missing. That is until I spied the camouflaged beauty in the window. It is fascinating to see an image, and then return to it only to find an element first missed which thoroughly changes its emotional impact. Perfect.

Respect.

Thank you gentlemen for your advices

 

So cameras specially digital can give you the color what they want ... and certain of you will say : "well , what beautiful color  "

yes nice but is it correct and faithful ? that's the great question you must ask yourself ....

color is color and it's better it's near natural .....

Wise words.

Great set, this is #1 for me

One boatman, two passengers, three and a half hours from Jerantut to Kuala Tahan up the Tembeling River (Pahang, Malaysia), not a single word uttered. This was in February, before the rainy season and the river was low. At times he was virtually ploughing through the sandy bed of the river and the boat shuddered disconcertingly. 

 

Plenty of grain...

Hi Henry,

Yes FP4+ this time. Quite nice, I'm getting to like it. But with winter coming, it won't see much use for a while.

Ian incredible with backlight the face of your girl is still visible with all details

A great picture in contre-jour....

So Ian you're back to your b&w

Glad see you back

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Henry. I haven't forsaken colour but the recent stuff I've had developed is mainly B&W. Here's an early morning summer landscape near Oare in Wiltshire. Close to Keith country. 28 Summaron-M.

I know you don't approve, Henry, but it seemed to me that the colour distracted from the picture. You can judge for yourself:

Sincere thanks, Phil.  

Great shot of a city awakening - with your description, the atmosphere is palpable. And Ektar, good old Ektar - spotted it straight away. There seems to be some magic with you, that film and that 250mm lens especially (oh, and and the SWC).

 

Thanks for the comments, Wayne.  Your memory of olives is so random yet so poignant of the cultural differences.  And it brings back memories that I have from 23+ years ago when I made my first visit to Jerusalem as a young adult and also remember being served small green cracked olives in a pub on Friday night.  I remember vividly that I was drinking Carlsberg in a bottle.  After my beautiful experience in that pub in the Russian Compound I proceeded to make my way with the group of friends that I was with to the center of the city in Jerusalem on Ben Yehuda Street.  It was there that saw my wife for the first time.  I didn't even see the front of her face; just her exotically striking profile.  Thanks to Mr. Carlsberg, I had the guts to walk up to her and strike up a conversation, which was very hard given that my Hebrew was extremely elementary as was her English.  The rest is history! 

 

I would have also passed on the photo on the Sabbath.  In some ultra-religious neighborhoods in Jerusalem, they throw chairs at passing cars on the Sabbath 

this is a spectacular photograph. My ship pulled into Haifa in the 80s and I, of course, went to Jerusalem....with my Olympus XA. My most vivid memory of the visit came as a result of an attempt I made to snap a photograph of a Hasidic pair (father and son) on the Sabath. The old man scolded me, and then the son- knowing the US Navy was in port and recognizing me as a likely crew member- scolded the old man. I passed on the photograph. I will never forget it. I treasure it and think about it every time I see one of your photos from Jerusalem. I was overlooking the wailing wall at the time of my episode. The father scolded me in Hebrew. The son scolded the father in English.

 

Also, I remember they gave us bowls of olives, instead of peanuts, with our beer. To this day I prefer to munch on olives while drinking beer....if I have the option.

 

Thanks for the shots.

 

Very interesting results from the Ektar, Chris.  I love the water in the first one.

Many thanks, James!

@Chris: I am really enjoying your Cabot trail series - wonderful impressions and colors!

 

@Adam: Love your last picture of Jerusalem for the earthy tones and the calm the picture depicts.

 

Here a rather classic view of the Eiffel Tower from Trocadero:

Beautiful majestic view, James.

Wow, sublime colors, Phil!

Shot my first roll of Ferrania P30. I rated it at box speed, 80. I did not process it myself, had a lab do it. So I don't know the developing details. Based on the results I'm going to expose my next roll at 50. 

These negs were a little thin and very contrasty. However I do like how sharp this film is and the grain is really nice and fine.

you're right, he definitely won't approve.

Fyi, so I now have scoured the earth for Adox Color Implosion and have amassed over 40 rolls.  I now have until 2019 to turn back the clock - or share the rolls with friends - or both 

Interestingly, I sourced 19 rolls from an Ebayer in Australia...

It's Portra 400,but I can see why it might look like Ektar in these.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[A miller]

Here's another long tele-photo view of the Old City of Jerusalem.  This time with the 2x Mutar tele-converter attached to my 250mm Superachromat, which effectively made the FL 500mm.  

The hot summer days produce haze, and I thought that a UV/Haze filter and Velvia 50 would be a reasonable way to try to cut through it as best as I could.

For those interested, the long dark ramp inside the walls of the Old City (in the middle of the photo off to the left) is the location of the Western Wall (Kotel).
