edwardkaraa Posted April 20, 2017 Share #601 Posted April 20, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) You are welcome Edward Yes very nice color still vivid (specially red) on these pictures , in spite of difficult light condition like picture 2 Color of skin arm is faithful IMO I forget to tell you that the 2 rolls Portra and Ektar above are developed pratcically the same time by myself in Tetenal 38°C Best Henry Thank you Henry! I think both of your photos look very nice despite the different emulsions. Normally Ektar would be the more obvious choice but I somehow like the more muted colors of Portra. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally Ektar would be the more obvious choice but I somehow like the more muted colors of Portra. Yes you're right , a bit warmer in Portra. It depends on what you photograph As said one welknown photographer who now abandons digital and convert in analog "Each new film is a new sensor" Best Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share #605 Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) M7/Summicron 35/Ilford FP4+/Ilford D-DX home development: Porto; I really like the atmosphere of Portugal! Amazing rendering really nice , thanks Paul I think this camera has more what is needed in the belly In another rubric, since I shoot the film, I have not cracked sensor stress or sensor cleaning problem .... I am also quiet on the side of the race to pixels and purchases new cameras, obsolete after 3 years like computer or smartphone Henry Edited April 24, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Livingston Posted April 25, 2017 Share #606 Posted April 25, 2017 Why don't you just stop with this nonsense Henry? We all know your particular attitude to film v digital. Most of the rest of us are just interested in the results people achieve... what discipline they use isn't really that important. How about just giving it a rest? Everyone else on here is relatively supportive of each other and their individual views on a variety of photographic topics. I have never remembered a picture due to the quality of the image or whether it was digital or analogue... or some technical advantage one way or the other, I couldn't care less... but I have remembered them for their content.

Bill Livingston Posted April 25, 2017 Share #608 Posted April 25, 2017 So your response is for me to not read threads that you post on...? And how many more threads are you going to continue with your ridiculous and pointless vendetta against digital photography that I don't have to 'watch'??? Every time I get close to buying myself a new Leica film camera, just for the pleasure of using one again, I read your comments and it puts me off... Maybe the easiest thing is just to add you to the 'ignore' list. That way I can read what I like without having to put up with your annoying comments.

Doc Henry Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share #609 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) The majority of the threads photos posted on the Forum is digital,I do not look at them , so I don't comment ! My comparison of digital versus film is done on a "solid basis" ie proofs where I compare the two supports . I also read documents !What I say I have concrete evidence, while for others this is not always the case.

NB23 Posted April 25, 2017 Share #610 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) I'm more sensitive. I can't get past the digital look to just look at the images. Well, digital B&W is really awful. And that includes the abominable monochromE Leicas. Just can't look at those pictures without comenting to myself about the digitalness of it all and how progress is, in fact, regress. Or how we're all guinea pigs ready to accept anything. If you take away film, I quit photography. That's just me.

M9reno Posted April 25, 2017 Share #611 Posted April 25, 2017 Why don't you just stop with this nonsense Henry? Agree with particular views or not, there is always a pleasant atmosphere in this and the other film threads, and they do not warrant personal attacks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Verrips Posted April 27, 2017 Share #612 Posted April 27, 2017 I love the threads about film and film camera's, i watch/read on the forum what i like and i skip the rest. I don't think that there is an anti digital attitude in the film/film camera related topics. I'm grateful to Henry and all other participants in the threads, you all motivate and stimulate me. Beautiful quote from New York photographer David Spielman: "Why film i'm asked? It's just a matter of preference. Some people play a Steinway, others play an electric keyboard. Both have 88 keys, 56 white, 32 black. One isn’t right and the other wrong, they are just different, different ways of recording what you are feeling and seeing." Have a beautiful day! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way I can read what I like without having to put up with your annoying comments. Personally, I don't find the ignore list all that useful in that I often find myself clicking to unhide the comments by those I have added to the list; partly to make sense of a particular thread and partly because I often feel some odd compulsion to read the hidden comment, even though I know it is likely to irritate me.

I'm not sure these analogies are really very helpful, especially when there is no attempt to disguise a smug sense of superiority. "Some people play a Steinway, others play an electric keyboard". He might as well have said something like "some people read Proust in the original French, others read Jeffrey Archer - one isn't better than the other, just different."

Bill Livingston Posted April 27, 2017 Share #615 Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks Wattsy... and I'm glad you made the same observation I did... I too saw all too clearly the smugness in that quote... and decided to not comment as I've ruffled enough feathers on this thread already! (and I agree with observation that its very tempting to 'unhide' comments... I find myself, on occasion, doing just that... or seeing the 'quoted' posts... so you can never really get away from some people, try as we might...). The irony of all of this is that I am very much a 'live and let live' sort of person... the problem comes when I try to stick up for that philosophy...its not a sentiment that can be policed... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted April 27, 2017 Share #616 Posted April 27, 2017 I'd love the ignore function to work fully. To completely ignore the ignored user in question all thw way including the quotes. I think I'd put myself on the list. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any smug sense of superiority in that statement. Some people shoot with a Leica, others shoot with a Sony. Some people drive a Mercedes, others drive a Kia. No right or wrong, just different choices... lol Edited April 28, 2017 by edwardkaraa 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted April 28, 2017 Share #620 Posted April 28, 2017 Yes, it should remove all trace of the ignored. As if they have never lived. Yes, then some 12 year-old will create a zombie revival of the ignored. The living ignored, something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
