Since I am a day behind, I will throw up another - this is from this past Monday.  We had a nasty bout of freezing cold sleet and I ventured out with my Nikon Action Touch underwater camera and Portra 400 😍

 

 

 

 

I like this shot-I´m impressed again by your skills with the flash and the exact focus plane.. Is it ok to listen to Leonhard Cohen watching this shot ?

Looks good, Keith !

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

Thanks, Wayne.  I think I could accommodate that size 😉

Stunning, Phil.  The colors are just sublime and the placement of the reflections within the frame are awesome.  Really enjoyable!

Love it, Phil.  But where's the London Bridge? 😀

Killer, Pat.  It is so cinematic that it also seems as if you paused a high drama TV show and took a photo with your "kodak" film.  DOn't know how you managed to get that shot, but it is really amazing.

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. 

Very impressive Adam! The wood truss on the right side look like people in the water!

Looking forward the see your next Blizzard!

Yes, I agree Phile: the black and White tones look so good!

To me this is one of the best photos which I have seen in this thread! It is really a masterpiece! Congratulations!!!!

Thanks, Marc and I'll let my "lawyer" speak from my feelings on your recent purchase of that SL lens... 😂

People's taste can differ, but I really love the incredibly surreal results from the Velvia 50.  Your trip is a gift for us that keeps on giving! 😍

Thanks, Klaus.  The Nikon Action touch has manual focus setting that are extremely easy to toggle back and forth.  So I kept it at about a meter and toggled one notch closer and farther on a whim.  Not too bad although my Leica is the king but I need dry snow for that 😀

Here is what I came with on the very early Thanksgiving morning with my Technorama.  

It is actually THREE shots stitched together in Lightroom.  The first was with my lens "fall" max out at -14mm.  Then the second was with my lens "rise" maxed out at +14MM.  The third was taken one flight of stairs up and a little back with the lens rise maxed out at +14mm. I needed the third as the second did not reach the top arch in the center.  I also took the third a week later.   I wasn't sure that it would stitch given that I wasn't on the same exact plane.  But voila!

The exposure time was well over 6 minutes (due t the center filter and reciprocity) and the few people that were there hanging around turned into ghosts.

What ya'll think?

Very nice! If ever your time permits, I would suggest a further exposure with more of that beautiful ceiling. You could reach heavens if you could line up the diagonals on the floor and the ceiling in a way that they meet each corner of the picture. BTW., did you have to bribe the security personnel to make these shots on a tripod?

Thanks, James.  There is no way for me to get more of the ceiling with my gear without pointing the camera up, It might be possible to get what you are referring to in a "fine art" fashion with a 4x5 with a very wide lens, perhaps the 47mm that @MT0227 has... Not sure and maybe we can try.    A long series of Verticals wouldn't be worth the squeeze for me. 😅

As for the security, basically I have immunity and nobody messing with me.  💪

This young Saanen lady was a favourite model, and later a reliable provider of milk, butter, yogurt, and cheese. Her name was Tilly, and this was a Fujichrome100 slide from somewhere in the early 1970's. Probably taken with a Pentax K1000. I might add that there are no species of pet better than a goat. Not only intelligent, they are wily, sneaky and smart in unexpected ways. The fence that will successfully contain a goat has yet to be invented.

I am now waiting for paperwork to be completed to start on ibrutinib, whilst my name has been entered on the bone marrow transplant list so as to search for a donor. As soon as a donor is found, the transplant process starts.

Logically, I am telling myself, "Doc Henry is standing on a small footbridge, and it's cold--not that cold but cold enough to hold the hoar frost for a delicate, magical portrait of a brook posing in quiet solitude. Wait. Maybe Doc is gliding in a skiff over the sterling silver reflections on the water." I slap myself back to reality and realize that Doc is certainly hovering, motionless, except for the whirring of his diaphanous wings, both hands free to attend to what it is photographers do--let the creative spirit fly.

Can you see me standing, applauding enthusiastically?

Hi everybody,

I‘ve been following this thread for a while and really love all your pictures! I recently bought a Leica M6 and wanted to share this from one of my first rolls shot on Portra 400 in Bonn.

 

 

Welcome!!!!  Looks like you have captured some lovely evening light.  I love how the bright sky is full of details.

I agree, the first version is fine, but this one is even more convincing--proportionwise.
