Doc Henry Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share #10184 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) David all the 3 fog pictures are SUPERB I like much specially the 1 and 3. Good rendering of microdroplets of fog with film. Thanks for sharing I love "fog" (and "snow":ice cristals) in film not in digital "flat" picture by smoothing all the pixels ! For the color dev. I also work at 30°C after some tests at 38°C.Steve is right. It's better to maintain constantly 30°C with a waterbath and a hotplate but time dev is a bit longer.

Doc Henry Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share #10186 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Hi Adam, first thanks for sharing in this thread your nice sunrise and sunset pictures We appreciate your trust For the choice I agree with all comments above 2 for beautiful clouds 6 for the sun and edges of the sea > space effect 7 for the color a bit surrealist 11 for the clouds and color I generally prefer the colors of twilight that are more beautiful than the dawn. That said they are all beautiful For me the color is useful for this kind of sunset and raising landscapes versus b&w Morality : it is necessary to do color and b&w Best Henry Edited January 26, 2016 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur Posted January 26, 2016 Share #10187 Posted January 26, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) If I may call upon you all on more time for your "curator" input on the color version of the composition that I shared with you in B&W a week or so ago. As with the last series, I'd like to know which of these you feel is worthy of inclusion in a professional portfolio. All were taken with Ektar and my Hasselblad SWC/M The follow TWELVE photos were taken during sunrise and sunset over a two day period I have ordered the photos chronologically beginning with the pre-dawn magic hour and ending with the post-sunset magic hour. I value your critical input and really appreciate your patience. Best, Adam Adam, I tried to clear the previous round and my thoughts then to look afresh at this series. The contrast between the black and whites and colour is interesting more that I thought possible and this set is more difficult to evaluate. Number four does it for me although I like the interest the yacht adds in an image later on, there are a number of pretty pictures - the sun rise for instance, but if they were on my wall I would loose interest quickly while number four would catch my gaze and keep it. Hope this helps Charles 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgary Posted January 26, 2016 Share #10189 Posted January 26, 2016 The clarity in these and other images on this site (as well as some of my own) never fails to surprise me. When I returned to film, must be 2 years now, I must have expected grainy and fuzzy images after using digital for several years. But the clarity and detail you can get with film is up there with digital and, you get that unique film look as well. I am really enjoying this thread. Conwy Castle - Kodak Portra 160 with M7. My first attempt at C41 processing. It was not as scary as I first imagined. Though on my second attempt I poured the bleach first then the developer ...

chrism Posted January 26, 2016 Share #10190 Posted January 26, 2016 Adam, I'm probably going to go against the flow here, but to my eye, two of those images look like they have natural colours, while the others look unreal, perhaps surreal. So for that reason alone, I would nominate #5 as my favourite and #1 in second place. They don't have the wow factor of the others but they are believable and seem realistic. I appreciate this might be a bit rich coming from someone who just inflicted some magenta-laden room temperature C-41 photos on you! The other, more lurid, ones would be more commercial these days, and if your portfolio is designed to attract work then they would better advertise the fact you can fill that demand. All are lovely and I would be proud to have taken any of them. Chris 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted January 26, 2016 Share #10194 Posted January 26, 2016 Fantastic feedback so far. You guys are really great!! And please don't be shy as if I wanted to be patronized I would ask my Mother With regard to the question regarding the film back on the SWC - yes, it has a removable back for either 12 or 24 exposures. Chris - very interesting reaction, and I respect it. I think that closely side by side these images look like something out of a science fiction movie or even a bazooka gum cartoon wrapper. I think that viewed independently and/or along side digital photos of the same scene the film qualities of the photos will be more pronounced. I was not attempting to CREATE a surreal scene in any of the photos. No vibrance or saturation adjustments were made and the same goes for the WB (subject to a couple of cases in which the scanner did not get it right). (I have contemporaneously taken iphone pictures the match the color palette in these scenes). My deliberate goal of the series was to REPORT on a set of scenes that was naturally surreal (Dawn and dusk in Manhattan are oftem extremely surreal and science fiction like) and the use of EKTAR was intended to give the surreality a flair. Kind of like hearing Howard Cosell report on a world class boxing match This is what i am into (and the collection i am trying to build) - reportage of NYC surrealism with a flair (courtsey of large Ektar film) I am by no means trying to be argumentative or to persuasive (and fully respect all critiques), but rather just trying to provide a little more insight on my artistic bent. And there is no doubt that further tweaking that could potentiallly be made (particularly with framing and luminence), which i am open to. Thanks again to all and i welcome any further critiques!

Adam, thanks for this, a quick search on google could have answered this! (by the way do you have the 903 or 905?). My thought on the film back was triggered by the varying sizes of the images you uploaded. I am curious why you chose the format for the images you did and whether this was due to using a 6x4.5 or 6x6 back. I could look at these images all day long. Each one has its own story. I still prefer 3 though, I think it is the lights of the building that I associate with New York. I have noted that there have been a few comments recently on cropping so did not want to relight that fire (I have no problem with cropping and will quite happily crop if that can improve my image).

Ektar tends, in my hands, to be unpredictable, and you may be best off with your lab using a standardised process to make it as predictable as possible. They are gorgeous pictures! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris and Adam, about color one suggestion just to see if color difference exist between a lab and we. I've found a difference between the development of my usual lab and development by myself It should be done a development test. Like Adam can not do development at home because of the veto of his wife, Adam would have to make two rolls in comparison on a same subject : one for his lab and one he sends to Chris or me for example but I am farther To see between us in MP , if Adam agree and Chris you agree ?
