I like film...(open thread)

That's an interesting exercise Philip - I prefer the first because of the blurry people - they, by conventional wisdom, should be the main subject, but as you've focussed on the screen, they become a colourful impressionist wash, and we're left to work out for ourselves what is going on. Thanks for that pairing.

I was gonna say that I can't se the photos!

Sorry, my picture:

But now I do, and they are great!  Love the rendition and moments that you've captures with these kids.  Your collection of these gems is vast and hopefully you will showcase them coherently for all to see.

My apologies. I have an annoying habit of reloading slightly better scans onto my Zenfolio account, so that the older picture disappears from these posts. I promise I won't touch it again now, honest:

 

 

 

 

This is another from 1987. I never paid this particular picture any attention - it has never been printed nor scanned, and has just sat in its negative sleeve for the past thirty years. But now that I take a closer look, I quite like it:

 

 

 

Aswan, Egypt 1987

Canon F1, FDn 50mm f1.4, FP4

 

Neil- this is wonderful.  So much going on.  The water is sublime.  Not sure whether that is snow or just some IR effect on the greens.  The trees are very well details and the trees in the background have loads of rich dark tones.  Very nice!

Ive been riding past this pond everyday for the last week and today I made an effort to go and shoot it with my Chamonix 45F2..............glad I did

Thanks for the feedback Adam. It does look like snow but it’s Phuket Thailand so no snow here.

I took it right on sunrise so you know how that can effect the look.

I shot a few still life flowers today. I will post them up later

Love the effects of the reflections in the water.

This is such a natural-looking portrait. Very nice indeed.

Thank you sincerely, Philip and Adam.

Chamonix 4x5.............Initally I thought this was going to be an okay location but in reality it just looks to busy for my licking

Neil - This one has lovely contrast but I would expect to see richer detail in the whites with the larger film size.  You might try a gentler hand at the editing, unless there is simply no information in the negative (which I would think is not the case)

I'd give bottom third of this image an 11 out of 10.  But the top 2/3 a WTF :)  Looks like two completely different images!  Is there a way that you can tame the bright tones in the top 2/3s?  The bottom third is soooo dreamy!

the middle to the top was blown out so nothing to get back from the middle rock. I burned that at 100% and still got nothing back
