M camera is light , compact with mechanical optical rangefinder with a formidable precision

and efficiency . It can do everything : street photography, landscape brief universal camera

and with film , it makes a nice combination whose result is beautiful pictures.
I love :)

Actually, Keith, both are parasites and can kill the host tree. But they still make for a lovely photograph! :rolleyes:

I seem to remember someone mentioning Eastman Double-X (5222) earlier which is a film I like a lot, too, so here are two (both Coolscan 9000). Unedited beyond making basic curves and levels adjustments that are part of my Photoshop conversion process from TIFF to JPG.

It has been a while since I posted in colour, but am about to make up for it - have just received back a roll of Portra 400 taken with my MP.

In addition to enjoying the motif a great deal, I like how the lens gives the photo a very pleasant tonality. It reminds me of my Summitar's rendering which isn't very surprising given its similarities to the collapsible 50/2. It may surprise many of those who begin photography today but sharpness isn't everything. And can easily be added in post, just like contrast etc.  A well executed image is what counts and this one is. This scan is perfect, being very flat, for considerable further fine-tuned post-processing. For instance, one could work on bringing out the front of the pier and the fishing rod somewhat to make them stand out better against the bright water. They're a really nice complement to the hut itself and sort of ties the image together; one would expect a hobbit to have left his fishing rod for a moment to go for a second breakfast. Likewise, the top right edge of the hut and the big tree could be worked on to give a stronger impression of depth in the image. As is, the tonality of the background slope is similar to the hut's roof which makes the two blend together a bit. Working on the contrast of edges of objects in the image (and the clouds too) would, I think, make this already very enjoyable image even better. The one little thing I would have done differently had I been there to take this phtograph myself (if I may; and I realise there may have been difficulties achieving this unless one doesn't mind wet feet) would be the viewpoint; I would have tried framing it more to the right to make the fishing rod more prominent. 

 

Thank you Philip for your time and advice, much appreciated.

Okay, we have had browns, green and reds - so what about white?  MP, 75mm Summarit, Portra 400.

 

PS - don't worry, something blue will be along eventually...  ;)
