From a first visit to Tokyo, with M6TTL, Portra 800 and 160, with 28 lux and 50 lux

 

 

 

 

All good shots and really like what you did with the 28mm.  Colors and light in the third shot give it energy.

Trying out a Dual Range 50 Summicron that I picked up. It has some haze in the front element but it didn't look too bad and it was cosmetically super clean (as well as CLA'd by Don Goldberg in 2016, I already talked to him about the haze and he recalled the lens and didn't think it would negatively impact performance).

 

Here's a couple samples with it on my M4 and Fuji Superia 200. Scanned on my Nikon Coolscan 4000ED

Looks sharp.  Did you do any cropping?

Went to a small concert in the foothills on Saturday to see my wife's fitness instructor's band.  We might have been the oldest people there but everyone was chill and all the performers inside and out were quite good if you like e.g., punkish rock with saxophone (they were very good). Sarah was performing in the Saloon. A hundred years ago this might have been a bunkhouse for the ranch hands when the high pasture was free of snow but now it has a bar of sorts so it's the Saloon.

It's very small and I did not intend to shoot anything inside but... The wall was behind me so I just reached over my head and braced the camera against it. 21SEM wide open at 1/2s.

 

M3, 2:50 and 3.4:21, Tri-X@250 in Rodinal

 

Someone sitting on the floor in front of me took a snapshot with their phone. It was gorgeous: full color, contrast balanced, and perfectly exposed. But earlier, outside in the dusk, two people said they loved my camera so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Fantastic shot inside the Saloon.  Since your back was to the wall it must have been a very small room.  Great idea to brace the camera against the wall and above your head to get the shot.  Regarding the Phone picture you describe, I bet it didn't have the mojo you got in this shot.  Starting with the bartender at the left, the audience in silhouette forms a curve leading to the base of the well-lit band where my eye wants to stay.  I look around the photo for more details but that curve and lighting keeps leading me back to the band.  The beam near the stage creates a frame within a frame, too.  Lots going on here that I bet is not in the Phone photo even if it has color, balanced contrast, and perfect exposure.  I believe your photo is a perfect example of less is more.  Well done, SA.

...Well done, SA.  

Thank you, you're too kind. The print has more detail in the shadows but only because I'm PP ignorant and likely to stay that way.

 

Yes, the Saloon was very small, even when seen through a 21. But the vibe was tremendous, like what I think it was like in Laurel Canyon before The Big Labels screwed things down. Some of these people might go on to become the Graham Nashes or Joni Mitchells or Exene Cervenkas of their era. And half the bottles on the bar were Patron...
