Advertisement Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Hi chrism, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Keith (M) Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43122 Posted November 30, 2017 Very 'Velvia' blues! The sun is shining brightly today but it is quite cold out and a world away from the kind of late summer sunshine in this scan from a few years back. In this those days (10-15 years ago) I only used slide film and this is probably Velvia. Quite likely the Noctilux F1 stopped down. Love the tonal gradations and textures.

EoinC Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43123 Posted November 30, 2017 My understanding is that all manner of experts in ornithology and thatching were consulted but no obvious reason could be determined. The jackdaws were not using the thatch for food or nesting but pulling it out and discarding it on the ground. One plausible theory is that the thatch contained a starch that was attracting or upsetting the birds. The work apparently cost £100,000 and was done by a local Wiltshire thatcher using combed wheat reed. I imagine that this is a material that is usual for thatching in this locality. Perhaps the thatcher had trained the jackdaws so that he would get more repeat work? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinC Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43125 Posted November 30, 2017 A blast from the past... This is Paul Newman and his wife at the 1968 Tony Awards at the Sam S. Shubert Theater in New York City http://www.playbill.com/production/the-22nd-annual-tony-awards-1968-shubert-theatre-vault-0000013903 Taken by my late Father with his (now my) Linhof Technika Press 23 and Zeiss Planar 100mm Some kind of Kodak "safety film" 6x7 scanned by me, with very light adjustments in Lightroom (mostly just white points and a little sharpening) A testament to a nearly 50-year old negative that spent most of its life in a wax paper envelop in an attic. 1968, by ADam Miller.jpg Excellent, Adam! As alive as if it were shot today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43134 Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) My understanding is that all manner of experts in ornithology and thatching were consulted but no obvious reason could be determined. The jackdaws were not using the thatch for food or nesting but pulling it out and discarding it on the ground. One plausible theory is that the thatch contained a starch that was attracting or upsetting the birds. The work apparently cost £100,000 and was done by a local Wiltshire thatcher using combed wheat reed. I imagine that this is a material that is usual for thatching in this locality. The nearby old white cottage that I featured along with the NT barn clearly does not suffer the same problem, so one could speculate about the original and age of the thatch material (chemical content?). Hello Ian & Keith, Thank you both. Perhaps the people who had thatched the roof of the cottage that Ian photographed might benefit from a conversation with the people who thatched the roof of the cottage that Keith photographed. Interestingly, when I think about reading about thatching roofs in Britain & in the rest of Europe, including in Fairy Tales, I do not remember reading about birds or other creatures de-thatching roofs in any significant way. There might be something relating to the more Modern World that is a contributing factor here. It might be beneficial to look into this. Both for the cottage photographed & for others not shown here, that might be in the same situation.

Steve Ricoh Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43136 Posted November 30, 2017 Steve, I just bought some in Australia - the seller says he has limited stocks left, and that he expects to get more. I can give you his contact details if you'd like. Thanks Phil, it may come to sourcing from afar if I cannot find a European source, obviously my home country is first choice, followed by the EU whilst we remain a member, one of the 28. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Michael Hiles Posted November 30, 2017 Popular Post Share #43138 Posted November 30, 2017 I made a silver print today of this image, with the welcome assistance of a newly acquired Analyser-Pro from RH Designs. An extremely useful tool. There is a bit of a learning curve to (mainly) determine what you actually want your print to look like. It doesn’t think for you – it assists your own thought process. But it works very well indeed. The print looks as good as the screen image (which is carefully “printed” with Photoshop Elements and Silver Efex Pro). The picture was made last February in the Masi Mara, Kenya. The elephants (in fact all animals) ignored our vehicle, and we got very close to some impressive locals. XP2, 200mm Telyt, if anyone cares. Welcome, dear visitor!
