This is a remarkable way of using the behaviour of film:

 

I would assume a classic black-and-white film here, which tend to be very sensitive in the blue and UV part of the spectrum (spray water, in this case). I'm using a yellow-filter in most cases I use such a film (unless one wants to create your effect). This was also one of the reasons I liked the discontinued BW400CN - looking in it's data sheet, it is obvious that this film has a built-in yellow filter.

And now something a bit different... using the M6 and XP2 again. I don't think this shot would have caught my eye through the smaller viewfinder of the Contax T2.

 

That's definitely part of the Leica magic for me: a titanic and uncluttered viewfinder. I also looked through the viewfinder of an M3 a couple of months ago, and it was a step larger still. And as I only ever use the 50mm anyway (I've heard the M3's viewfinder is too big to deal with a 35mm lens) then that may be the way I'll go when I'm finally ready to let go of the internal metering.

 

Incidentally, we had another foggy day on the 1st, and my wife and I had a (cold) walk along an unbelievably magical lakeside. I of course took my M6 and snapped away a roll of film, running out of frames well before I ran out of compositions of trees, reeds, you name it. The light was of course amazing. Halfway through I realised I was ignoring the metering and doing my thing. Now *that's* a step for me... will be interested in seeing the results. If they're ok, I'm gonna take the bloody battery out of the M6 and see where that takes me.

A fine photograph and agree completely about the benefits of the clear view that an RF like a Leica provides. I've also become a complete convert to an unmetered RF view too – I no longer like it any other way. A shame I can't take the battery out of my digital M camera :D (if I ever use it again).

These are always my favorites.

 

When all of the other shots are forgotten, these prints will come out of the shoebox when your children are grown up and they will have fun looking at them over and over again.

 

My only advice? 

 

Either buy a Canon CP910 Dye Sub printer and print them at 4x6 and keep them in a shoe box...OR...buy the darkroom gear and print them that way.

 

Either way...PRINT THEM! :)

 

 

Pictures don't live until they can be held in your hand and passed around.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I have the darkroom gear for two years. Must get around to setting it up. Definitely feeling the Leica Magic. So much easier to get these shots as opposed to my Digi. Everyone shrinks when I pull it out, but no notice is taken of my old fashioned camera.

You are SO lucky to have a darkroom set up!

 

 

I'm trying to acquire one now but it's slow going. I hope to have one soon.

 

My fondest memories from my childhood are when my mother would bring out the shoeboxes and we'd all sit around the kitchen table and pass the pictures of relatives, vacations, anything and everything.

 

Blurry, light leaks...out of focus...it didn't matter, they all meant something to us.

The red of KP160 can be a little less bright, less warm than KP400

My conclusion : red and green are well reproduced with 2 Kodak Portra
you can go with poppies  :D

 

again Kodak Portra 400 and the last (next time it'll be test with Fuji)
