Guest Posted February 17, 2016 Share #11381 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Never seen anything like it. Pretty nifty. obviously come 2nd to being a soldier. Is that a Luger..? Not good to say to a guy with a Luger, that his film changing took him too long. And his 35/50mm all-in-one didn't speed things up after 36 shots. Just curious: who is it? (Typical photog's wrong question: well, who was it please, if I may ask?) Learnt on this forum, that Patton was a Leica user - Rommel, too. Having multiple Leicas* (four, or even six in case a set caught a bullet, or simply jammed) and handing this combo over to get a full one instantly could well be a general's way of proceeding. But a gun in the boot? *when HCB dig his in before going to war in a particular garden (probably another myth anyway) Edited February 17, 2016 by tri Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2016 Share #11382 Posted February 17, 2016 Hütten - Ilford HP5+ by -Ric Capucho- Hütten - Ilford HP5+ by -Ric Capucho- So my first roll of Ilford HP5+. First the good: the grain is just that bit nicer than XP2, at least to my eye. The film captured the scene, which was on a very foggy day a few moments before sunset. Tricky stuff. Makes me more confident it'll work well during one of my night on the city street photo binges. And the bad? Even though it was *very* foggy and getting very late, I think XP2 would have made much more of the contrast between the trees and snow. There was also an underexposure of about a stop or so that I *thought* I'd compensated for in camera (exp comp +2). It could be that the conditions foxed the camera's meter more than usual, but I'm no stranger to snow, fog and trees. The images above have been tweaked in my camera+ app to add a "stop" or so equivalent. More HP5+ experiments are on their way, so I'll soon learn where I am with it.

I bought 20 rolls and I used them on different subjects: nature (fog,snow,landscape with sunny time or not etc...) and also portraits ,street photos, macrophotos. My conclusion is like you. I prefer now Kodak TX400 better for deep black and more sharpness, more contrast better in example for portrait. But HP5 has a slightly cold signing, less warm than the TX IMHO. For HP5 I pushed time development a little , more than 4 minutes to correct black and contrast. In print same remark more in paper developper but not too much ! So it depends what you want ! As said a famous film photographer " Each film is a new sensor " Nice pictures of fog , I love them specially the first : simple and beautiful Best Henry Edited February 17, 2016 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share #11385 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks Adam. I can see where you are coming from. I suppose I still have the visual memory of the searingly bright sunshine on a hot, cloudless early Sept day in southern France and wished to retain that feel of eye-squintingly bright white concrete etc. In light (!) of your feedback I have darkened the mid and darker tones/shadows to give more depth, leaving the lighter tones untouched (except for the grass & gravel in the foreground). Revised image below. Keith I know this wonderful bridge. An exploit in this type of construction while fitting into the landscape without causing too much shock of modernism I prefer this version as asked Adam. Nice shot with great perspective Thanks for sharing Best Henry Edited February 17, 2016 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted February 17, 2016 Share #11388 Posted February 17, 2016 I like it a lot. The still water (and fog?) makes the wooden structure really jump out. Very effectful.

Doc Henry Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share #11398 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Very nice, Henry. Thanks EC for your nice comment In b&w , we love fog in film , because the rendering is better by "grain" than obligatory "smoothing" grey appearance of "pixels" sensor . So not the same reproduction of micro droplets of water by film. For EC, Ian, Ric Another fog in HP5 Ilford Leica MP 50 Summilux Asph Welcome, dear visitor!
