James, nice place and time of day! The streaks of shadows from the clouds give it authenticity. I see it often where I live. I love it.

Wheels Up - Jersey City Waterfront

Great framing with the skate board action and the guy entering stage right.

Seeing these Rollei 35 shots (at least one more earlier on) reminds me that I should show my own R35 some love and attention.

... you are right, and I am among  the ignorants.... i only stumbled upon the kafka-cinema connection after reading the book „1913-der Sommer des Jahrhunderts“ (-1913-the summer of the century.)  A very entertaining collection of gossipy bits and pieces,  mainly about cultural and political heavyweights. Kafka among other celebrities. 

Ordered the Zischler and the naxos cd, thank you for  the hint.

K. 

PS. Typing with the iPad-autocorrection  boycotting every single word and trying to change it into something german is an excercise in superhuman patience....so in the next weeks I‘ll be not the most keen writer.  

Thanks so much for the tip on 1913: The Year Before the Storm (Translated). Immediately, I purchased it on Kindle. What a find—author Florian Illies with his wondrous, oblique humor!  It would be no surprise that if he had been the one to rediscover the secrets of perspective from the Romans, our three-dimensional conceit of space in two dimensions most probably would have a smirk to it. What a profound wit to trace the intersection of so many narratives, the simultaneity is mind-boggling. That 1913 was such a fulcrum, Illies certainly deserves applause for his cinematic cutting from one scene to the next, balancing personalities, art, music, literature, and politics, all with detailed research. Rich reading.

 Cheers, Rog

Thanks Steve.....I agree....would defiantly enjoy seeing some more of your Rollei shots.

Before this thread gets too salty from my latest contributions I strew in some regular pictures made with well known emulsions. Here comes just a field, seen in Croatia. I love the way the evening sun lights the field:

M4-P - Cron 35 - Agfa CT 100 Precisa

Glad I went back to see what I may have missed....this is a lovely frame....the colors....everything.

Just to explain my comment regarding the streaks: I do not complain about the shadow streaks but rather some white streaks coming from damaged emulsion. If you look closely you might see them in the middle of the picture in about the height of the sun. In this picture they are not that pronounced and I already did some copy & paste in Lightroom to cope with this issue.

Nice catchy colors in your latest contributions. In this particular picture it would have been nice, if the composition were slightly different to get a full person within the frame between body and elbow.

 

Thanks, James.  While we're at it, I personally would have liked a beautiful woman in a full-length polka dot dress and big cat sunglasses walking her poodle in the beginning of the crosswalk on the far side, while maintaining the space between the abstract elbow and dress on each side of the frame with the large white horizontal lines from the crosswalk providing the additional repeating lines and angles.  That classic woman would have filled the scene with additional patterns and shapes and added just the right human element! 😉 😂

I can't really see the streaks, but it really does suck that yet another great film has irritating shortcomings.  I hope it was really just a bad batch and that you have clean results in your next go at it.  I will be keeping an close eye on what comes next as I am really intrigued.

Cool pretty much sums it up, Marc.  Lots of cool people here.  I barely fit in!

Thank you James. Well since I like to be as much in front of the camera as behind I'm sure a video could be done, but what makes me hesitate are all the other aspects of producing something like this. My main goal was actually to design something that anyone can build. I have a few more ideas about the necessary ingredients which may simplify the design even further, so there may be a version 3 coming at some point.

This seems to be a really decent tool. Did you think about a Kickstarter campaign? I think there could be some demand out there, and if I see what kind of stuff is offered nowadays by hip companies (and sells in no time) this might become a profitable attempt. You would have do take a fancy video, though...

This is really nice.

Very good Marc, and just like cobbu's above it shows what a great developer HC110 is.

I love the colours on this one, Steve. I've been to Hvar a long time ago but missed this castle unfortunately so thanks for posting the image.

Thanks Philip...I like the fact that I can make fresh developer to order when needed, that is one of its best features :)   I'm going to start portioning my C41 Chemistry too, so I can develop on the fly in a cost effective manner.
