This is really good Steve. And a slide film is the perfect choice for such a scene.

Excellent Christoph. I also like to see that Fomapan delivers the same lovely halos that Double-X does. Adds a great atmosphere methinks.

I used to live in Bosnia 20 years ago and would go almost every weekend in the summer to Dubrovnik. The benefit of a recent war is the lack of tourists. It was pretty amazing to have that old town to oneself. When I was back two years ago I was shocked to see the town literally flooded by cruise ship tourists pouring in through the gates.

Totally notorious--read Die Verwandlung from the end! Now, you are a film editor, too! The blossoming of the family, especially Greta, fast on the death of poor Gregor, discarded as so much foul debris by the charwoman. One problem, though it didn't get in the narrative way of Sunset Boulevard, recounting the drama from the dead screenwriter's POV--with Gregor dead, his POV narrative is problematic. Never mind. So let's do something like a Raymond Chandler and open with Gregor's demise and continue with Greta and her unstated good prospects for finding a man. This, then, underscores the irony of the health and well-being of the family becoming more vital as Gregor declines and dies. Flash back to the beginning, now. The complexity of this duality is emphasized even from the very beginning when simultaneously Gregor provides the point of view, which alternates with the objective point of view watching and reporting on Gregor himself. In other words, the subjective alternates with the objective. It is notable that the window through which Gregor views the outside world only affords him a blurred vision--Philip is watching this--obscured by rain, a signpost that surrealism and realism are likewise blurred. Much to be ventured in Carolin Duttlinger's Kafka and Photography (Oxford P.) A daring enterprise, reading Die Verwandlung in reverse, two steps back, then one forward, thinking of Memento? Maybe we gear up The Penal Colony with tattoos?

A very complex storyboard you are suggesting--but absolutely adequate. I'm impressed.  I´wonder-again 😊-what script Kafka himself would have made, the avid movie goer he was ( "Im Kino gewesen. Geweint"--was at the movies. wept. )  I´ll try to smuggle Die Verwandlung into my holiday suitcase, just to refresh the memory. Did you read :  Kafka goes to the movies by Hanns Zischler ? it seems to be a classic in it´s genre--have to order a german copy, there seems to be a new edition-it comes with a DVD containing the films K. saw...

your pictures, a bit grainy and on the dark side, capture the mood of these days nicely. +++

A scene from Prague. I saw this mural and wanted some people in my composition. So I waited. Then I saw the couple moving into my frame and thought this could be a nice picture. The girl was even wearing a nice red jacket! I thought everything went well. Until I held the exposed slide in my hands and found the smoking man 🤣

James, very nice. I know the problem very well myself--You are waiting for a long time, anticipating the "perfect shot"-and by comes delivery car, group of people absolutely unbefitting--but I think the guy is ok, it gives the picture an edge....

Very nice , Antonio. And the HP5 @ 1600 is amazingly good--considered the bright light. BTW my lab recommends EI 1000 for HP5 because of the grain -you prove it can be done differently

Wow JMF, you brought home some impressive pictures from Pere Lachaise... the SWC  and the grainy film adding to the pleasurable outcome.

Another view of the Bren Carrier, a 1930's military vehicle that was based upon a Ford flathead (ie sidevalve) V8, and with an interesting steering mechanism that moved the front bogies for small wheel adjustments, and braked the appropriate track for larger turns of this rather bent steering wheel. It may have been just as well that almost all of them were lost at Dunkirk.

I assume this poor thing was consumed by a mountain lion, picked clean! It was huge, an elk, maybe?

As you have probably noticed, I like to experiment with different cameras, emulsions and photographic themes. When I stumbled upon a thread in the german part of this forum about a service provided by silbersalz35.com I had to try this myself - and be it only to see if the grumpy old white men in the german part of LUF are right in complaining about another player in the market who tries to sell old films in new canisters. So I made my order and got 2 rolls of Silbersalz35 in 50D and 2 rolls in 250D. The offered emulsion is nothing better or worse than KodakVision cinefilm and Silbersalz is offering the development in ECN2 developer and provides the full scanning service in RAW, TIFF and JPG format. Altogether I paid almost 60 € for the films including development, scanning in the three formats and return of the negatives. If you don't need your negatives back, you save 15 €. SIlbersalz offers only packs of 4 films including the before mentioned service.

Yesterday I got the link to the dropbox files to my pictures. The whole development & scanning service took them about 3 weeks, but I now got digital data of more than 40 GB. The jpg files come in 5900x3850 and have around 20 MB, the tiff and raw files weigh around 140-160 MB each. 

All in all I quite like the overall appearance of my pictures, they have a certain look and feel, definitely showing a true analog origin. As with other cinefilm emulsions, the results are not perfect, though and I let them check for some annoying streaks in my pictures that definitely are no result of my cameras. 

Sorry for the long read, here comes a first impression:

Ricoh GR 1 - Silbersalz35 250D

As i first read "Silbersalz" i thought about thick layer b&w films. Now i know it better 😉 
Thats interesting. I have some questions. Does all scans have this yellow tint? Does the negatives have the same orange mask than C-41 film and did you ever make RA4 prints of this Negativs and how compare they to the scans?
thank you…
