Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Thanks, Henry. I was thinking more along the lines of him not liking "silly child's play" because he is stubborn in his old age.... ;) Edited by A miller

Hi All, just some infos this sunday morning that make me happy.

I noted here some extracts :
....because that's just what I said about my poppies : "thinness" of digital
....about the "sterility" of digital (I agree) , "digital" imitates "film look" (like Ricoh GXR cam)"

..."choice of film like choice of lens"

Finally :

" There’s a certain thinness to digital capture, because it lacks the organic texture

intrinsic to the film image. The organic nature of film grain adds a layer of separation from

reality, and this separation, far from adulterating the image, helps feed the viewer’s imagination"

 

In short ,  it lacks in the digital what I call  the "impressionist artistic" side of film
for example for my poppies. I also call "flat" image with "no soul", a "synthetic" image with "smoothing" pixels everywhere with no "nuance" : look at my fog pictures.
 

Congratulations for this true and logical point of view . I completely agree with it :)

Adam on your picture, you have 3 generations, so our old man should be happy

It reminds me the Amish I saw in the USA.

I do not own a digital m, I bought a Ricoh GXR to use my Leica lenses digital and it was said to be leicalike, but now I use it still to take pictures of our handmade jewelleries.

In spring I took a few pictures to compare the results. Three pairs, one made with the ricoh and 2/35IV and the other with m6 2/50IV portra 160 scanned with my "junk"scanner

Adam, thanks for your opinion. With slides, unless I have something else in mind, I aim to achieve in post what the slide looks like on the light table.

wonderful, Gary.  But I think you could pop the contrast a bit more in order to depend the blacks that pop the colors

 

this is really wonderful

 

love this one, Keith.  Great light

 

 

I really like this one, Philip.  I think that the shadows particularly in the tree trunk could be deepened a bit.  But I really like the shot and the exposure is spot on
