Look at her skin - exquisite! You just don't get skin rendition like this except on film. Just a great portrait, Marc - her hair, the hint of shoulder and her inscrutable expression are perfect.

Thank you very much for your kind words Phil! In most cases I really like the Cinestill 800 with daylight. To me the effect is very appealing

I agree Phil!

Btw, if I hadn't checked it was you, Phil, I could have sworn it was the Doc?

ha ha you are right Steve!

It seems rare, to me, for an informal portrait to lend so much nobility to the subject. So often, again, for me, it feels a bit voyeuristic to view such photos. Not at all, here. It is hard to explain. I want to say:...Grandeur. But that is a term that, usually, seems best reserved to describe something like a landscape; yet, it does seem appropriate here.  A great photo. Truly.

 

Best,

Wayne

 

I am very happy that you like the photo. Although she knew that I took a photo of her, she seemed to be very relaxed. One of the few lucky moments!

You're taking your art to another level, Rog.  I love these latest ones - so much thought provocation - bravo!

stunning, Phil.  Totally agree with Henry - Microsoft would be envious.  These colors are sublime.

Another one:

 

I spent a little time doing comparison scans with the X1 scanning as a full .fff file, and the Nikon 9000 using Vuescan to make a full resolution 2 pass raw file. On import, the Nikon scan was more exposed and looked a lot softer, but by turning down the exposure, adding a little clarity and contrast, I can get them very, very close.

 

X1_LS9000_comparison by chrism229, on Flickr

The X1 scan still wins on resolution of fine detail, but not so that it matters. It is faster to scan, and requires less work in LR afterwards. I'm wondering whether to sell the X1, partly because of my irritation with Hasselblad over their decision to silently discontinue the scanners and the need to keep Macs on macOS10.14 or older (the FlexColor software still runs OK in up to date Windows systems, and Hasselblad refuse to release the engineering details to Ed Hamrick, who would make VueScan work with them), and partly to make one less thing for Pippa to deal with when I no longer need it.

 

FWIW, I generally scan my 35mm with my coolscan 9000 as I like the output better than my X1.  I feel that the full res X1 files are too clinic for my 35mm and the coolscan is more than enough for top notch scans.  and for me I find the coolscan easier to use for 35mm.

Nothing special here from me. I was surprised to see this little rainbow over the Baltic Sea and didn't even notice the small plane while taking this picture.

These are excellent, Marc.  Did you use the summilux consciously for the first and the cron for the second, or was it merely coincidental?

I was inspired by Rauschenberg's Cardbird series using flattened cardboard boxes, for the most part, arranged into different configurations. I wanted to use color field studies to create color photo-boxes.

 

 

Beyond cool, Rog - I love your vision.

Still struggling with my new scanner... but having read Rogs and Philips interaction on the "alienation" or Verfremdungseffekt, I feel entitled to  just leave it as oblique as  it is. Just to remind you, it´s  a photo and you won't get wet feet ( As I did ) 😁

Anyway, James´s and  my ways might have crossed somewhere on the shores of the baltic sea--this is Rügen, not far from the spot, where CDFriedrich painted his white cliff. The big rocks are granite, left over from the big scandinavian glacier, the small pebbles are flintstones, often with fossils

Unfortunately for my external hard drive, and thanks to @DirkR440 for the prodding and guidance, I have discovered the stitching function of Lightroom!! 🕺

Here is one from last week, shot on Ilford Delta 100 with an orange filter.

It is a stitch of two 6x17 negatives, shot at the same position on my tripod, with just the camera rotated.  I wanted to capture this iconic view with the piers while including all of the lower Manhattan skyline.

Here are the two negs on my lightbox.  I took two exposures at each position, so the top shows how the two negs overlap to create the entire scene.

And here is the result, accomplished with one click...

I used my 90mm Super Angulon XL

The effect of the stitch is a shorter pano and a more compressed and detail-lacking view here.  But the file size is about 1.5GB and 29715X6920 pixels 😲

It would be nothing but spectacular at about 4' high and 20' long. The right side is incredible.

Bugger it! I fail! Damn you Dostoevsky and Wegner!

But I DO think these are sublime.

Now if you were to take that first panel, it would fit with the second flap... aaargh DOH!

It's funny that these two pictures were posted consecutively. They both do my head in (like Rog's damn boxes). Surely adelie yours is a double exposure - I can't for the life of me make sense of it without this hope! And then I'm hit with rennrocky's pink zebras... And, come to think of it, Dirk's Louey Vooey window after that doesn't help much either!

Thank you Adam! I was decluttering my archive and found the Cinestill portrait with the Summilux 50. But after a while I sold the Summilux the fund a (please forgive me😉) 24-90 for my SL. Although it sounds stupid, the photos with the SL were perfect, but too perfect for me. So I sold my SL Equipment to buy a M4 and a Apo 50.
