Another page from Encyclopedia Phil, under "frightful enigma" as a footnote to "syzygy!" Why are there, principally, only two Gombrich shadows defining the insolent stance of the two rock dowsers, one filled, one empty. All right, I need space in all this misreading, but you are writing chapters here that are going to go topographically braille to sort out the emotional, not to mention the intellectual, equivalents. Granted, it's T minus three minutes before the space station self destructs, but in today's time frame, that's eternity. Is this all that remains of the monument to have been erected. Is Ozymandias on the soundtrack? William Wordsworth's "Lines Written with a Slate-Pencil, upon a Stone. . ." certainly comes to mind, since a slate pencil used to write on stone a warning to travelers is unreadable. It deconstructs itself. No, I haven't recovered from a high REM count petting Schrodinger's cat! "Exposed, unexposed" film is priceless. I need time to work through this new ancient enigma of yours. I think there is something to the lateral branches making their statement.

Thank you Rog for your wicked humor and insightful comments which have, among other things, got me researching lots of heretofore unknown (to me at least) concepts. Can I change the title to "syzygy"? What a great word! Yes, I think for a time there I was especially (ie even more than usual) open to searching for things that were a little strange, and I was very pleased to have found this. The light astonishes me - it was in northern Victoria, near the wine growing area of Milawa I think, and the light has a much clearer definition there than it does where we live in the south of the state. What stuck me is how silver the picture appears. And this was from my first road trip after I'd just gotten my first Leica and summicron so it has distinctly pleasant memories!

One of my new interests is "commercial voyeurism."  This is a dry run with Ektar.  There is tons of detail and you can see some of the people very clearly in the offices and what they are doing.  The Ektar was just too slow, though, and many of the people were removed due to the motion.  Despite the long exposure (2 minutes +) it was surprising to see so many people in good sharpness at their desks.  Slaves they are!!!  I am thinking that I should aim for the early onset of the sunset when there is still a bit more outside light and slide film with good reciprocity failure tolerance, like Provia 100F, so that I can expose for the highlights and get a much faster exposure.

More to come... :)

I like it, Adam. Coincidentally, my daughter’s recent installation for her photography degree was a series of Tri-X shots in Auckland of her walk home from university, with windows into parallel worlds. All were on Tri-X. Without my daughter knowing it, the one of the triangular window in the top right happened to be a house I lived in in 1981, when I went to university in Auckland.

She got various reactions, including people being disturbed by the images, which, as she pointed out, were visions available to anyone walking past.

Keep up the good work, Adam.

In a long series of very intense and intriguing shots I certainly like this one very much. My first thought: how in the world did he get Vampirella in front of the camera?

❤️

Going through some old transparency files and I noticed this shot which I'd never scanned or printed:

Yes - sorry Eoin, from the context of other photos in the sequence this was just off the beach at Black Rock where we were living at that time. It's a scene of Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne and luckily I've still had time to edit the caption.

Thanks for posting this. I am pretty amazed that they even included the M3 in the comparison given that they evidently had no clue how the film should be exposed, let alone how it should be developed. And the poor scans (understatement) reach "Appalling" with a breeze. The compression artefacts are so bad that they make the grain disappear.

The film exposed, developed and scanned properly would perform a lot better than this. Fundamentally, though, this shows that a photo, whether shot digitally or on film, is not finished until it has been processed.

Here's a comparison video that I think will be of interest to followers of this thread:

Leica M3 vs Monochrom vs Fuji

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGp8r45A5Uc

I dont think they did a particularly good job of processing the film, in a couple of the examples the exposure is way off.

But despite that, if you ignore all the pixel peeping nonesense, the old M3 does an excellent job, when you look at the background detail and anything thats out of focus, the M3 wins.

The example of shooting an old TV, the monochrom does manage to reveal an extra level of definition that the M3 can't match.

It makes we want a dual analogue/digital camera - something where the sensor is on a mirror and it takes a digital photo then the mirror flips up and it also takes a film photo of the same scene.

Awesome view, well done.

Nice one Marc. Have you thought of using flash or reflectors? In this photo it could have lifted the right-hand side if the face to give more definition in particular to her left eye.

Hi Eoin, great to see you back here :) Congrats on your daughter's installation. It's an intriguing project with lots of connotations. Reminds a bit of Arne Svensson's work The Neighbors.

Imagine what you might find when you open the door to a parking house.

Very nice leading lines, Henry. I am very happy to see you back here :) I guess your comment on 'not corrected' relates to what I wrote earlier. If I were you I would have brightened the bottom most part of the corridor through local dodging so that the lady on the walkway would show more clearly. It would strengthen the composition considerably. All my opinion of course.

Terrific shot Cyril, very classic (but were there development problems? The sky and foliage look affected).

Hi Philip ,

Thanks for your comment ...    I had as aperture  f/1.4 and I walked while photographing   ...

Since my last and old computer under Vista (keep for my scanner) no longer working  and recently  I move now on Windows 10

so all Lightroom or Silver Efex software doesn't work  anymore  ...    and it's good and zen for me  I go back to nature

but I note your remark ,  thank you Philip ! 

Best  H
