Leica 90mm images

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 use the free 'Light Meter' app on my iPhone. It's never let me down. That said, I don't always need it. This picture was taken as dusk was approaching, and at times like that I tend to double check my settings. But during daylight hours I tend to 'set and forget' my exposure. I always err to overexposure if I'm guessing. Print film is pretty forgiving.

In photoshop you can select the red edge with a brush and paint the center or use clone stamp

Thank you. I know. I've actually done that before, but it just doesn't look quite right somehow. And it bothers me that I've had to cheat like that.

What Negative scanner did you use ?

Are you saying you've never read that lesser known Dickens classic, Birmingham New Street?
