What a nice coincidence this image and Phil's image just below end up on the same page. Both are truly mesmerising examples of great photography. I don't know what an acrylic lens is but it has resulted in one of the dreamiest photos I've ever seen. I really like PanF myself and it's perfect for an image like this.

Leica R4 - acrylic lens - PanF in Microphen

This is really good and had me look twice before I understood what I was seeing. All sorts of interpretations are possible, for instance the forces of good (the light-coloured tree) versus the forces of evil (the shadowy tree) striving upwards and struggling against each other for domination. Or perhaps it's just two trees lol. Still it is one of the best photos I've seen in a while.

Haha what an effect. Not even a Noctilux can burn through that :)

Love them both. No idea what they show but both are really exciting. Well seen.

A couple of shots from Barcelona, after a quiet period thanks to more equipment problems. These were taken at the Llum festival in Sant Martí:

 

Both Leica M-A with 35mm Summilux ASPH with 400TX, rated at EI1600, and processed in XTOL stock.

What an excellent fairground abstract. Which developer did you use? The tones are really wonderful.

Thanks a lot, Philip,

the acrylic lens is a plastic lens like in a Holga. You are right, PanF is perfect for this🙂

Altocumulus, Buttermilk Sky, about 14,000 ft., and the tree branches in sunlight and shade, opposing each other,  reaching out--the stuff of poetry. It becomes even more mystical as a vertical, but that's just me, caught standing on my head.

Portra 400 loves red, too, even when pushed a stop :)

Thanks Rog (should I be writing this upside down so that you can read it, assuming you are still standing on your head?) and to everyone else who has been kind enough to comment on this picture (and others). I always did like this scene and, although I have it as a print (again, for verwackelt, on Record Rapid), I'd never flipped and flopped it to seriously consider other viewing possibilities. I guess once seen, that's how it stays, locked in the tyranny of your head. Although I was probably lying down to have noticed it anyway, to be honest. To me, what attracts me to it, is that in a small way it has some of the qualities of Australian aboriginal painting, and there is a sense of place, of connection to a place, to it. At least there is for me.

As an aside, I am not sure how this particular spot fared recently during the bushfires - the town of Bright was at least seriously threatened, and I no longer have any recollection how far out of town the spot I took this was. Still, we're heading up that way over the next couple of weeks (not to attend the Katy Perry bushfire benefit concert, although that is very nice of her) so I may try to ascertain if all is still well with these trees.

Thank you for your kind comment, too, Adam, received as I was writing my last response. This is fantastic, especially as conveyed in the accompanying video with that delicious little Leica 'snick' indicating you pounced at the opportune - decisive, in terms of this encounter - moment. Hey, and who could ever accuse you of not being stealth? You are the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit of the New York streets!

Which Film did you use? (This is the “I like film ...” thread after all :) )

Thanks for reminding me, Christoph.  FP4  box speed and DD-X 1:4.  M3 and 50mm DR.  Epson V600 scanner using Silverfast.  Speaking of which, I absolutely despise the software.

the tyranny of your head

Love your poetry. The play of language for me wants to put "prison" on the flip side of that card: tyranny/prison. No escape, the sentence. The echo of Piranesi's lithographs of imaginary prisons and ruins brings us to Thomas Cole's The Course of Empire, a Baedeker of the sublime, re-visioned by Edward Ruscha, setting aside 26 Gas Stations, with his own Course of Empire, dissonant notes of dystopia. You see, the doors of your Buttermilk Sky in Bright open wide.

I wish there was a Leica Forum appreciation emoji of a brain exploding.

I do really really appreciate that series of Thomas Cole's - The Course of Empire. It is, or should always remain, a constant reminder of how esoteric or tenuous "the present" circumstances are, no matter the era. And funny you should mention Ruscha, I've been exploring 26 Gasoline Stations in some depth over the past couple of days.

Meanwhile, there's danger afoot in Southern California. What the danger is, is not explained. It's an incipient danger, lurking on the threshold, one that we should be aware of, perhaps fearful of, even if we don't know the form it takes. This takes me back to the concert James and I attended last Saturday night - TOOL. The second song they played, Aenima, speaks to a certain er... rejection of the SoCal vibe (language warning if you look it up). As incredible as their graphics were (the guitarist and Tool's effects artist, Adam Jones, was formerly a sculptor and special effects designer in Hollywood who worked on Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Dances With Wolves etc) they could have used this picture, Rog, which captures the lurking danger/fatalism presaged by the song. Strong, timely work.
