I like film...(open thread)

I count six folks, and only one cell phone in use. Well seen. It is a beautiful shot.

 

 

Well, what do you know...  there's even one with a book in hand. That is a pretty rare sight too !

 

 

I keep waiting for somebody to declare the public use of a cell phone as.....tacky........passe'. I have always seen France as the guidepost for classy behavior. The revolution should start there. :)

 

Henry, will you lead the charge?

 

Best,

 

Wayne

 

Hi Wayne and Pritam, we call the new syndrome in 21th century the nomophobia an addiction to mobile

phone, it is an increase of anxiety !

Well seen Pritam , she was reading but she is so tired after her day's work that she starts to sleep

Thanks for watching and commenting Wayne and Pritam

Over the past year I shot some 35 mm 3200 ISO Ilford film with my Leica M-6 and Noctilux Lens.I just processed the film and scanned it. I posted a video here https://youtu.be/NWVQzXXXSJ4It was a lot of fun

Definitely a labour of love!

An interesting video and thank you for sharing. But I had better make sure my wife doesn't get to watch this. I'm trying to convince her that developing at home won't be messy- seeing this would be the final nail in the coffin I'm afraid.

Two or three years ago, on a whim, and because it was real cheap, I bought one of those Zorki counterfeit "Luftwaffe" cameras. You should see it: polished brass; snake skin cover; Gothic lettering; fully functional. On top of everything else, it looks like a camera that was actually used by somebody......Extensively. The other day my curiosity got the better of me and I loaded it with Portra 160, stuck it in my coat pocket, and took it for a trial run in the in the sub-freezing temperatures. What it rendered kind of surprised me. At first I was ready to throw the film away, but the more I look at the photos, I am not so sure. I do not understand the difference between "soft focus" and out of focus so I have never had much interest in the former.....Other than to admit that I have seen some classic "soft focus" shots I admire. Would you call this soft focus, or is it just out of focus? The lens is clean. The rangefinder of the camera aligns perfectly at infinity.

Here is another, shot with the Zorki counterfeit and Portra 160, of a scene I posted earlier, although shot with Zenit 1, MIR 37mm lens, and Foma 100.

Wayne , I like your pictures because it's really "anti digital" : a little veil , imperfection

(in the artistic side I mean like a painting) , vintage colors , a "soul" when watching and many another

qualities ....that missing in digital

I think Phil will like them too

Pen F 40mm f/1.4, Tri-X

 

EM5 v Plustek Scan of a diptych. I'm not sure there's much of a difference. Thoughts?

 

Plustek Scan

BEOON camera 'Scan'

Steve thanks for this comparison

In Plustek scan you see 1-grain better 2-the black of water is more black I consider digital doesn't know what it's real black, may be during the conversion color Bayer filter by camera software in black and 3-thirdly the waves in foreground is sharper characteristic of digital camera ... the better way is print on paper and no digitalization at all like scan even with Plustek

You have also more contrast in Plustek scan and nuance is missing in digital Beoon , partly because of this lack of contrast

Thanks Henry, I think that I agree on all three counts. However, it's pity that the Plustek does not scan 100% of the double width of the two single frame, maybe 98% but not the whole frame. Due to spacing between each single frame it's seems to be just a fraction greater than 36x24. Real shame, and I only have option A or B, no flatbed scanner, or darkroom. When I eventually create something worthy of printing, I wil have to send the negative to my chosen lab.

Nice pic Antonio, liking the tones.

Do some people just dump cars like fly tipping. It's been these some time looking at the surrounding vegetation. What are those things on the passenger side, USA Today and the other thing?

Steve As I also used Epson V700* I think for scan , it's a good compromise between scan MF and 135

Epson software furnished by factory is good , no need another expensive software and b&w is superb

Those are newspaper stands. The car is "parked" next to a burger place called Fat Smitty. I stopped by to take a couple of photos, but probably I should have tried their burgers!

I might have shared this picture in the past ...
