The first image I have shot on film since may 1999 ....... Ektar 100.

A whole new experience after a quarter of a century of digital photography ......

It is great to revel in film after a long period focussing on digital. Well done, and long may you enjoy it, despite the cost. It is worth it.

My additional comment is regarding your choice of Ektar film. Purely a personal perspective, but Ektar is always heavy on the Reds in an image. Sometimes this can be an advantage, but so often it appears to give a slight (or more) 'Red Wash' over the whole image. I see it particularly in the buildings, but also in the sky. IMO, Portra is far superior when it comes to colour fidelity. Ektar is a fine film, but not suited to everything. It may be your preference, in which case, just ignore my comments.

Hi Ernest
Above all, I think it's great how you handle the colors in your pictures, my big respect for that!
But some graphic elements often block my access to your color worlds.
I like your work very much

Close on the heels of the wonderful Leica IA was the Kodak (Nagel) Retina 117 with SK 3.5/50. Not a bad camera in it's own right.

This is a lovely portrait Wayne. Grandma's expression speaks volumes about love and care.

Thanks. Grandma is not one to show loads of tolerance for the camera. I was pretty happy with the results. Really had my hands full with the camera and use of the Leitz accessory rangefinder.

Forgotten Garden

Leica 111f & 50mm Summitar shooting Delta100

I walk past this location daily on my walk with Jupiter.

I always half expect Peter Rabbit to pop his head out of one the watering cans.

Tug of War with Jupiter

Leica 111f & 50mm Summitar shooting Delta100.

I am quite pleased with this shot because while tugging with Jupiter, I had to hold the pre-focused 111f with the other hand and try to compose through the VF whilst being 'jerked' about by the rope.

Wonderful!

A few years back someone posted a similar photo on Flickr and wrote that grandparents and their grandbabies bond so tightly because they sense that their time together is short. We're leaving our grandkids tomorrow after a 2 week visit, and, looking at this photo, I can feel their love for one another.
