Once in a while, a "common scene" pulls on the strings of irony just as the flood waters recede and bikers (?) take a break.

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Thanks for your kind words, and thank you for the thread. It's my favourite thread on these forums. And that's not because we see film-only images here. The originality of the photos (both in failure and success) is very inspiring. You can hardly have that in digital. 

Another shot of that series:

Thank you Rog and Hansvons  for your encouragement for the cause of the film and thank you for the kind words 😃

Sometimes I miss the simplicity of life in these days...
It was taken in 1986

If you need encouragement, here you have it: I can relate to pictures like the one you posted, and I know that many more feel the same. The simplicity you refer to is still there today and wasn’t there when you took it. Because back then, everything was complicated too. In hindsight, things seem to be simple, and explainable as we understand them now.
I photograph, always done it to get the grips of what‘s going on beneath the surface. The camera works as a polygraph. Please follow up that work. It makes tons of sense.

Or is "color" better than B&W?

I prefer the color version. This may just be me though. The small path is more visible in color adding depth. The colors are gorgeous too and the top of the tree feel less threatening, matching the mood. 
Really beautiful, thanks for sharing!

I prefer the B&W - the scene (especially vegetation and rocks) looks a bit too blue. I can't be too critical - I have posted enough colour scans of film where later I've been dissatisfied with the colours!

Interesting observation/opinion. In theory, when done right, film's colours should be on par with digital, even pleasing more. The issue is here the digitisation process, the conversion to a digital positive and the colour timing. But that's the same challenge when scanning film for film postproduction (movies).

I thought of passing colour film. But as I enjoy shooting the M4P and B&W so much, I'm thinking of going down that rabbit hole and developing colour as well. But I won't shoot Portra and the like but rather shoot Kodak Vision because I have experience with these stocks. My only question is whether to develop C41 and get more contrast or develop ENC2 and get logarithmic scans; in terms of colour, that should be irrelevant.

I just noticed. Have to admit I like both with a small preference for the color version. The colors really pop.
