Not taken with a Leica, but I was carrying one at the time.

5x7 sheet film, contact printed onto handmade paper coated with liquid emulsion, then black ink and watercolour paint added.

Thanks for your input! My thoughts about this diptych, so seduced by the colors, are critical of the content sacrificed for the form. It's the same thinking that applies to some of Gibson's diptychs where two images are married by the mirror of compositions, repetition of forms, light and dark, that sort of thing, and not so much by content that propels the viewer to make connections between two images. 

Rog, you are very point on regards Gibson--your mentioning the name had me going to the bookshelf were I found "Overtones" --diptychs accompanied by texts of friends ; well you know it. Revisiting this book--it was lost from my radar- was a bit sobering: really a lot of these marriages don't work-at least not for me. Looking at the diptychs I was eager to hear the "overtones"- with many of them in vain. What I saw were just two --admittedly fine--photographs; sitting there like blind dates... 

Your thoughts about "poles" are too hard and scrupulous. Of course there's  that odd couple "content and form", but for me it's a fruitless and futile discussion which of the two is prettier... Both can be legit expressions of art-if they are er..good enough.  

 Imho there are several aspects that make "Pole"  a fine diptych as it has content and form and a conversation between the two parts: there is the theme of the vertical shadow aka pole, the contrast of the line versus the plane, the contrast of these gorgeous  primary colors--different, but belonging to the same color -family, the contrast --can I say competition--of the real thing-the pole versus the shadow of the pole, the conversation of the rather plump outlines of the pole with the filigrane structure of the wire...  and in the end that undefinable "quality" that really creates the "overtone" . What more could you wish for ?

Love the finished effect, and the technique - a marriage of photography and art.

A non-scientific comparison between a pair of 50mm lenses, one of which I would dearly love to "fix". One is recent, the other about 90 years old and needs "work".

Same as best I could align and frame object, same film, same development.

Model 1a with 50 Elmar and M3 with 50 Summilux asph.

The lower of the two (as presented above) has a lovely ‘glow’ - the 50 lux if I’m reading it correctly. The look emulates film halation and I’m a fan.

No Steve, sorry, the glowing shot is with the 90 year old Elmar. I knew it had slight "coating damage" to the front element, if it's possible to have that on a non-coated lens. But after a few shots like this I removed the (fixed) lens and the rear element is a mess. Weird though, how it became a mess is unclear. I'd dearly love to rectify it, if possible, as the old girl has a heap if sentimental.

Thanks Gary, personally I wouldn’t fix it, I would preserve the “glow”!

Wonderful. One of those images that make you want to traverse time and space.

Is it residue from gassing or such? I unscrewed my Summitar once and cleaned the inner elements with isoprop something, can't remember now, but it made a big difference.

Another excellent reportage shot Pritam. You should publish little stories about life where you live and travel :)

I know I'm shallow but I love this kind of abstract bokehlicious photography. And the palette is just so yummy.

Excellent, this is why analogue photography in all its shapes and forms is so wonderful.

This is really good. I like how the lines and shapes repeat and that blown out background.
