I like film...(open thread)

A bit of a change of scene from my usual "south country". I took my daughter on a quick visit to Cumbria during the school holidays (we went to see the Scotch Argus butterfly which only flies in two places in England – both in Cumbria) and took in a bit of the scenery. Usual Portra and Summaron-M. This was near Thirlmere, I think. More to follow.

Very nicely exposed, Neil.

Fantastic, Neil.

Cheers mate

After my two days of shooting Aisana and Azzura.........shooting a total of 10 sheets of 8x10 (6 on Aisana and 4 on Azzura) here are my last two. I do have one left but its going to need a lot of work as I didn't quite get the exposure correct.

 

How that happened was that I decided to ask Aisana to prop herself up on the sofa so that I could take a longer exposure of her at 2 seconds. I set the shutter at B but forgot I was on B and by the time I had realised what I was doing I had already gone to ~ 3 seconds so hence the neg is quite a bit over exposed.............I will play with it later and see if I can get a half decent picture out of it, but all in all I am really chuffed with 9 out of 10.

Below is one of each Azzura and Aisana;

I now have the laborious process of looking through all the S007 images that I took of both of these pretty girls............initially they look great, so hopefully I will have a few nice ones to post over on the S image thread over the weekend

Very cool looking library there, nice shot.

 

 

This was 'before the art arrives' at Art Gallery NSW

Thanks, Wayne and Edward.  Appreciate the feedback.

I prefer this one. The sky appears more realistic to me. It is not a perfect match, for color, as the water, as in the first photograph.

 

 

Another beautiful shot, Adam. I personally prefer the velvia 100 version because of the more saturated sky and the more attractive and natural creamy white color of the boats. The Ektar renders them more saturated and warmer in tone.

 

Very cool, Phil.  I like the frame-within-a-frame with her interesting hat, profile and waves framed by the umbrella.

Thanks so much once more Adam for your thoughtful observation.

 

Your finely observed marina pictures make me wonder how brilliant it would be to just sail (or motor, at least until the breeze picks up) away on a sunny morning in one of those sensational craft. This one (above) also reminds me of an abstract I took a few years ago on my favourite, now dearly departed, transparency film:

Thanks, Phil.  I love your abstract  - we think on the same "wave" length  

 

And I was also jealous of all the folks who departed with their boats that morning for a cruise around the sunny mediterranean sea

[stray cat]

Thanks Adam. I think we - and most folks here - really love our photography and our opportunities to get out there and practise it. And I think it gets one looking at the world more closely and more appreciatively.

After a discussion with Adam last night about this photo I decided to rescan and try to improve it: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/205842-i-like-filmopen-thread/page-2075?do=findComment&comment=3378118

 

This is the result, Fuji Provia 100, Epson V600, no post processing at all. I'm not entirely happy with the scan, the colours are too muted, but I much prefer the look of the highlights.

I agree on both counts, Mike.  This shows me that there's a LOT of potential to be unlocked.  Great photo!

Superb! These are one of those things that, once noticed because you are looking for something to take a picture of, you then find entrancing. The ripple patterns constantly changing, never the same - except once frozen forever in a photograph.
