Thanks, Wayne.  I just remind myself that it is like a 35mm aspect ratio only on steroids :)

Very nice photograph. I am finding 6x9 to be a very difficult format. I see you have pretty much mastered it.

 

Best,

 

Wayne

 

Really gorgeous, Ian.

More from the Berkshire Downs chalk country. This is The Manger, a distinctive feature of Whitehorse Hill. Kodak BW400CN and 28 Summaron-M.

 

 

 

 

Looks like some head stones belonging to cavemen! :)

Another from the nearby (to my photo above) Wayland's Smithy, the neolithic era long barrow. BW400CN I think.

 

 

 

Thanks, Steve.  My mind's eye was focused on including the cable car crisply.  The water was secondary (or more).  I actually like the detail in the waves and think it adds texture.  But I see what you mean and some foggy water could indeed be an interesting rendition.

beautiful shot BUT if you could've taken it at slower shutter speed to get the smoky smooth water effect I think it would've been even better .... just a thought

 

Thank you!

Great Picture !   ;)

 

OY, my eyes are tearing just looking at that fuming motorbike! :)  

Tuk Tuk ride

Continuing my B&W series around the Reservoir Lake in Central Park.  I like the atmospherics drawn by the red filter on this one...

Which prompts the question: how far, really, have all the technical and other progressions in photography brought us, when such a picture can be made on a decades-old camera? Are we really better off now? Brilliant picture, Adam - the light is just right for the mood.

And the same goes for this picture, Ian. When the eye, the mind and the gear - no matter the sophistication of the latter if the sophistication of the first is so elevated as is witnessed here - when that alignment is there, that is when we get pictures that go beyond pictures and become visceral experiences - so we can share Ian's (in this case) physical experience at least vicariously. Superb.

Steve - this is wonderful. You've simply asked her to turn her head slightly and created a story, a mystery - a masterpiece. You really are kicking a lot of goals with your recent offerings.

Thanks a lot, Phil.  And your question is a good one. With all the mumbo jumbo about multicoated lenses and aspherical this and APO that, it gets one no place other than deeper in debt...  These old Zeiss lenses are masterpieces, period.  I've said this before: for myself, I find that the only way to move forward with my photography is to go backward... :)

I think a fair chunk of the "success" comes from the master with the cable release, and possibly the sheer size of the "sensor" (sshhhh baiting Henry here).

This is also happening with many here and 35mm of course.

I am just amazed by this obscure rangefinder camera and lens.

A photo made  just two weeks ago with the exact same camera, lens, film (well sort of) and developer I was using 50 years ago: Nikon F, 105/2.5 Nikkor, Tri-X and Rodinal. (Part of an experiment. I'm not getting on with Tri-X at all, regardless of the developer I try. I'm going back to HP5+.)
