Posted by jaapv,

This thread is suffering from overposting by a few members; I have hidden some posts. It is a an unwritten convention that we leave space for other participants. The reason is twofold: Overposting drowns out the other posts and, as important, if one floods a thread, the viewers lose interest and won't even look at those posts any more. It is equivalent to hogging a conversation. So: Please don't make endless posts with a large number of images, they are deadly boring, and don't po

I wander around my home city of Glasgow a fair bit. I always have either my Leica M Monochrom mk1, or an analogue M loaded with black and white film with me. I think that finding interesting photograp

Saw this moment on my daily Lockdown walk in my neighbourhood, which is rural and on the coast so 'streets' in the classic sense are a little different. M (240), 75mm

Been scanning more of my film images than I can count, to fill my Covid space. Getting bored, so here is a random sample of today's work.

Edinburgh Waverley railway station. The only station in the world to be named after a novel.

Shot on my Leica M2 and 90mm Tele-Elmarit v1, with Kodak Portra 400. I get a great buzz from shooting on equipment that's 50+ years old, using modern film emulsions that could only be dreamed of back in the day.

One side note. Don't know if this happens to anyone else, but almost any time I shoot red lights (traffic lights, car tail lights, etc) with a digital camera, they come out as white in the centre. The Leica M9 I used to have was really bad for this, no matter how much I underexposed.

But one of the joys of shooting film, is that red lights look great. I think it's the splashes of red on the signalling equipment that make this shot for me. I just couldn't replicate this image on a digital camera.

I think it's to do with digital sensors being sensitive to infra-red light (700 nanometres and above) and their infra-red filters not blocking all of the infra-red wavelengths, which causes the red channel to over-expose and blow-out the reds in traffic lights etc.  Portra isn't sensitive to infra-red so film isn't affected.

If you used a UV/IR blocking filter for the M8 on your M9 you might find that it blocks most of the residual infra-red and your reds will look better.

That is most interesting. Thank you. I did not know that. This forum and its members are a font of knowledge!

I have the same issue with my SL but I didn't noticed this with my M9 or CL.

It didn't always happen with my M9, but it was pretty much 90% of the time. Drove me crazy. Here's a shot from my M9 and 50 Summicron v5. You can see it markedly on the stop sign.
