Bateleur Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9843 Posted January 19, 2016 10 Hi Adam, Put me down for number ten, there is a gloss on the water but it's still plausible and I like the anchor of the foreground rocks being parallel to the lines of the photograph, my lazy eyes did not take to the extreme milky water. But that's just my myopic take on a lovely set of photographs! Regards Charles 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9844 Posted January 19, 2016 Very nice Henry. Some snow now Ilford HP5 MP-28 cron A Image4snowcathp5nk5mlfht+++950.jpg Snow like fog is well reproduced by film , no "smoothing pixels" instead visible grains well separated. Important IMO for an artistic view of snow and fog Rg Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lleo Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9845 Posted January 19, 2016 Yep Doc, medium format is impossible to carry around. Or, just one camera with the lens attached. Though the quality is superb. The Bronica has incredible razor sharp lens, as Gary knows well. Actually mine has been bought by a guy who worked together with Vittorio Storaro in cinematography.

philipus Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9846 Posted January 19, 2016 It is a fantastic series Adam, and your dedication is as admirable as it is impressive. My favourite, subject to the below re no 3, is no 10. The slightly higher position of the camera places the wave breaker (or whatever it is called) well vis-a-vis the skyline. A lower position makes that structure blend with the buildings. The buildings are well defined and beautifully reflect the sunlight. The wave breaker also has the right size and is not so "in your face" as in some of the other photos. Square is a challenge for a scene like this because it risks placing too much emphasis on either the top or the bottom part. But when done well, I think it's the best format to use for this scene. In no. 10, the sky is possibly just a little bit too tall but not so much that it bothers because there is a very nice balance between the three compositional "bands" in the image, sky, skyline/wavebreaker and rocky coastline. The contrast in terms of size between the city and the rocks, both of which have more or less equal definition and detail, is interesting. What I meant above re no. 3 is that it is really an awesome photo, and in my view the very best of the series when all aspects of the image are considered. The reason is that it is so simple. It's effectively no 10 reduced to its bare minimum compositional elements. I only wish it had been square in which case it would have been my favourite. It could possibly be cropped of course. No 3 has a wonderful coastline which in no 10 is disturbed a little bit by the white streaks. The city has just the right size when compared to the wave breaker and the white of the rocks leads the eye into the image. For say an exhibition having nos 3 (if square) and 10 next to each other would create a very cool comparison, showing how different the city looks in morning and afternoon light. The sky in longer exposure shots can easily take on an ominous look, whether it is entirely or only a bit smoothened out. Compare to how a dominant sky shot from a low camera position with long exposures is often used in cinematography. It may be the "look" one is going for in a series, ie to depict different "moods"/looks of the city, but for a single image it can make the viewer feel a bit distressed, even though it, like nos 1, 6 and 8, would be a very nice photo. I feel that this mood becomes "lighter" or less imposing if, like in no 8, there are lighter streaks in the sky. But for the reasons above I think nos 3 and 10 are the best. Looking forward to the colour versions. brPhilip I would like to ask you to once again be the great curators that you are - but this time at a strong risk of wearing out my welcome. I have staked out this spot in Jersey City New Jersey for some time and over the New Year's weekend hit it hard with my Hasselblad SWC/M, Kodak TMax and Ektar. I treked from midtown Manhattan to this spot for two sunsets and two sunrises. A couple of the times were uneventful as for as the lighting goes so I had to repeat. I would like to throw some (ok, 12 to be exact) B&W renditions at you and ask that you let me know which if any strike you as particularly good. As you can tell, I was unsure of the most effective composition so I basically shot the scene every which way Assuming that no one is annoyed by this, I will share some of the color renditions after a due cooling off period... Here we go... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpavich Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9847 Posted January 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've spent the day experimenting with room temperature C-41. I found some information on a flickr group at https://www.flickr.com/groups/ishootfilm/discuss/72157607394125990/ and decided to start out with that. I mixed up a fresh presskit (Jobo brand, but exactly the same as Unicolor). The basic recipe is to use the developer one shot at 1+9 at 20ºC, and to do a semistand development. 45 minutes total, with 30 seconds of agitation at the start and again at the halfway mark. I wasn't sure about the timing for blix at 20ºC, so I used a piece of film leader in my freshly mixed solution and it had cleared perfectly by 3 minutes, so I guessed the standard 6.5 minutes should do. If this works, it means I can get more films developed per one litre kit, as it should last for 20 films using 500ml developer solution, or even more with a 300ml tank. I imagine the blix will have to be extended as the number of films gets up there, but I can judge that by doubling the clearing time. I used wash water at 20º too, to avoid any thermal shock and possible reticulation. It was a dull cloudy morning, so there may not be much bright colour just from the light conditions. In a few minutes I will start the blix, and agitate the first 30 seconds, then for ten seconds each minute, just like I do with B&W film. Later, all done, and the Superia 400 is hanging up to dry. It looks a bit dull, but the film base is about the right colour, and the green flashes that Fuji puts among the sprocket holes are bright. I'll scan it when dry and show you what I've got. None of the promised cats and brick walls seem to have come out though... Chris I'm going this next, glad to hear it worked. Looking forward top the images 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9849 Posted January 19, 2016 10 No. 10 is the winner for me - it is the light that makes it stand-out in a highly competitive field! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9850 Posted January 19, 2016 I'm going this next, glad to hear it worked. Looking forward top the images I posted them up already! Here. It needs more work, I'm afraid. I think the next thing will be 1+5 for 45 minutes. It's rather cold here today, so it might not happen just yet, or might involve boring indoor pictures. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwolffensperger Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9853 Posted January 19, 2016 Adam, they're all wonderful, but my favorite would be no 3. On this one the pier/wooden structure is leading my eye most pleasantly to the city. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hepcat Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9859 Posted January 19, 2016 If you folks will indulge me, this is one of my favorite shots of one of my kids. It dates to 1992 with a Canon EOS1 on VPS (III?) converted to b&w in Lightroom. It was a grab shot, underexposed with some camera blur from the slow exposure... but it remains one of my favorites.
