Terrific image Peter. Love the ever so slight smile and how you are drawn to the subject's right eye. The out of focus areas are so creamy and pleasing. Excellent..

 

Cheers,

Ramesh

Today's Lesson: when it comes to film with zero latitude... the SL is way better for light accuracy (but the standard is WAY more interesting)

very interesting results with that film.  Not something I see very day.  Thanks for sharing your experience

Fantastic.  Perhaps my very favorite lens that I own.  And you use it so well!

Thank you so much to both of you... I really appreciate it.

 

The 50 DR has always been on my radar, but it took me 10 years to finally try one!

Occasionally, when walking in a woods, I will come upon trees, like these, that appear maybe hundreds of years older than any others in the stand. It always makes me feel I am standing somewhere that was significant at one time.

Love it, Edward.  The serenity comes through very powerfully.  And the colors are really nice.  Was this from your hotel room?

 

 

 

Thank you Adam :)

 

It's actually a few minutes ride downhill by golf cart. I took this from up the cliff.

It is entirely gratifying that I contributed to your joy of photography!

 

My mentor was by his admission, accidental. That means he does not remember me. We met in rural France in a little town several hundreds of years-old where he had a tiny space for his Valoy enlarger. He washed his prints in a window-sill when it rained. His work was tuned to the possibilities. It worked so well. In the fifty years since seeing his first work he went his way and I did the same and unknown to each of us in the pre-internet time we pursued the same line of work as newspaper photographers. The last time he wrote to me he lamented growing old. Regardless, he has made an impression in the art world. I know his later works in Fine Art, but I know he has a profound treasure in what he does not reveal from his earlier works.

 

His name is Donald Eugene Camp. His buried collection of work must be precious.

 

(BTW, he is no sheltered soul. He is a Vietnam veteran, and by his account a survivor, not a hero.)

 

Thank you Jac. The gear actually has contributed to my joy of photography. Even the difference between using an M2 and an M6 means I approach things differently. Interesting, isn't it?

 

Donald Camp's is an interesting journey indeed. There is quite a bit about him and his history around the internet, and it makes fascinating reading. Thank you for your memories of meeting him and for introducing me to his wonderful work.

very lovely.  How do you like that lens?

I have both the C and the later CF FLE lens. I find the FLE to be a very sharp lens - I invariably shoot at F11 or smaller. I love using it. I normally take just 1 lens for the hassleblad along with an M10 or an M6 due to weight considerations. I often reach for the 80mm as a light weight option, but most of the time, change my mind and carry the 50 instead.

 

Cheers,

Ramesh

As unconventional as it is, it is a lovely color palette, indeed. :)
