They are part of Burt's collection of homemade pistons, cranks, and barrels that he blew up. He kept  record of each event, to try to design to the balance line of performance vs reliability.

I love this. The sympathetic leanings of the organic tree and the organic human, countering the straight lines of the constructed World (maybe reading too much into it, but it works for me).

A challenging shoot with a rangefinder, this was fun to shoot, but unfortunately I did not get enough separation between the subjects and the background...Oh well... I'll post anyway:

The thing I liked about last Sunday morning is that the terrain in Central Park was still very much like Fall although combined with a dusting of early snow. It was like a winter wonderland

 

Here's one with Ektar and the 80mm Planar (503cw)

I walked through the Park that day and saw what you described. And you caught it beautifully as always .

M6 35 f/2 Tri-X 400

Plustek scan, Silverfast 8.1 (histogram normalised then processed further in LR)

 

I know that I have previously stated my wish to see distinctive grain to distinguish film from digital. Now I'm seeing it in my own work I'm not too sure any longer. Is it permissible to change my mind,

In the image that follows it looks as though everything, more or less, has been covered in beach sand. I wonder if my processing technique is incorrect or is it a characteristic of Tri-X 400.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[philipus]

Very nice, Becker. Really shows that photography permits time travel. If you can, try posting larger images. That would make them even more enjoyable, I think.

Very fun series. This is my favourite. You can achieve a greater separation through post-processing to make in particular this dog stand out more from the background.

I don't know anything about Silverfast or what you mean by a normalised histogram, but this looks over-processed to me because the highlights in the railing and on the sand are blown and there are dark areas to the right with crushed shadows. Did you try to enhance the railing's shadow? If so, it is probably better to do that locally in Photoshop as pulling the global sliders affects the highlights and shadows too much. That said, this high-key look might be what you were after and if so you definitely did a good job, I think. In any event, unless the negative is too over-exposed it should be possible to retain the grainy structure of Tri-X while keeping a more even tonal balance across the image.
