Llandulas groyne, near England.

Hasselblad 500cm with Fuji Acros developed in Ilford DDX and scanned using Epson V700.attachicon.gif21AugLlandulasraw0003con.jpg

 

really well done with the depth, drama and special effects.  And your point of sharpness in the foreground is spot on and the right choice.

As you know now and like Ric I love fog and snow in photo  :)

I shot 2 or 3 rolls specially for fog-snow with my MP

 

Really this atmosphere that day

Frozen fog minus 5°C

 

It is 7 am , it is not yet full day in winter and fog fully awake me because

droplets of fog wet my face. :)

Ilford HP5 very sensitive film  and 400 Isos are enough for this kind of photography

Fantastic composition and timing. I wonder how it would be colour - it might give more 'life' to the flare?

Thanks, Philip.  

As they say, once converted there is no going back :)

In this case, the conversion was the right choice, as it will better ensure its place in the eternal NYC life to come...  ;)

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.

Grain, fog or pixellation - or a combination of all three?  What dev, Ric?  The tones seem very compressed.  Well-seen & composed.

I'm more of yer gentleman photographer, Mr Keith. One hands over the film to the local shop, and the bloke in a brown jacket does the rest. So dunno what the dev is.

 

The tones are compressed simply 'cos it was a borderline peasouper, like back when we were little oafs, before the cities went all smokeless on us. And cholera was eradicated. Up in t'hills where I am is high enough for this to be not so much as fog, as much as in the middle of a proper cloud wot normal people gaze up at.

 

At 700m I gaze across and through 'em. Cloud for highlanders, fog for lowlanders.

 

The pixellation is probably due to my clumsy attempt to post process the exposure up a notch. But then the brown jacket bloke scans at 1000 dpi, at my request 'cos I'm too impatient to buggah around with 4000 dpi. Can always rescan the better shots if Magnum comes a calling.

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)

I remeber when i was at school in Stockport we used to wear arm bands so we could be seen, i lived on the road next to the school and the smog was that thick i had to feel the walls and hedges to find my way to the top of the road at dinner time we played hide and seek on a field that fitted 4 football pitches 2 hockey pitches and 2 cricket creases thats what you call a pea souper about 1970
