Wow, that's impressive, esp for having shot at such a distance with a 135mm lens.

Thanks Philip for watching  :)

 

Yes Philip, Apo Telyt 135 is not enough welknown , but it's a great lens

designed by Horst Schröder 

according to Erwin Puts : "high Contrast, no flare and extremely fine details"

You have one lens asph, the last down in this picture  :

Many thanks, Mark, Gary, Christoph, Henry, Trev, Philip and Keith, and everyone else for your opinions.  I really appreciate it.

Mark - I used my old Linhof Technika Press 6x9 and 180mm Zeisss Planar.  And nothing relating to the making of these photos in any way affected my sacred Challah run, which may talk more about (with photos) later...  :p

Keith - As requested, here is a photo from a little later in the morning of the full tracks (which, btw, lead right into the bridge and run through the middle of it across to Manhattan)...

Match

Which you prefer ? ....   probably two  ?  :)
I prefer not to convert color to black and white to be in the "purity" and "test of perfection" :)

The bridge series is way nice.

Really nice one, mate (like the others). And taken with a super camera. You know I had one. If it only wouldn't have that incredibly silly T shutter speed on the lens it would be perfect.

 

 

Time to change from the old family shots. A slice of technology.

On top of the DVOR (Doppler VOR), many years ago.

At a guess with an old ETRSi.

Agfa RS100 Plus.

So here's one for you:

A few weeks ago, I was in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn for my weekly Friday morning Challah run (you have no idea...more on that later) and I spent a few minutes wandering around the very diverse neighborhood and found myself on a subway platform that I discovered had a magnificent view of the Williamsburg bridge.  I had my M-A, 28mm elmarit pre-ash and some pushed portra 400 and took this photograph to mark my spot:

attachicon.gifWB subway tracks35-1.jpg

Quite gritty and old NYC-looking, I think.

So what did you think I said to myself?  "Man, I'll bet this scene would look amazing at the crack of dawn - on a 6x9 sheet of Ektar!"  :p 

So the following Friday morning I returned to the same spot a little before dawn with my tripod, longer focal length (about 80mm in 35mm FL terms, the longest I have) and 6x9 Ektar.

 

Here are a couple of photos from the morning.  Let me know if you like either:

 

Those 6X9 shots are truly stellar; resplendent in the early morning light. I love the intricate track detail in the second one. The bridge itself, though not central to the images, serves to anchor them to the grittiness of the surroundings.

Super stuff.

By the way, how long were the exposures?
