andym911 Posted February 18, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was out today with my daughter and it was freezing cold, and the sun was starting to go down.There was a very special light for a few moments and I took this simple shot. What I like about it is the almost surreal relationship between subject and background, almost as if it were a painted backdrop. M7, 50mm Elmar and Neopan. regards Andy Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Hi andym911, Take a look here The right light. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lmr Posted February 18, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 18, 2008 Andy... Sunrise and Sunset hours usually provides the best light for pictures. Of course some of us Nocti users prefer available darkness. I love your shot here. Your daughter just pops out of the frame! Neopan 400? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christer Posted February 20, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 20, 2008 Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals about assignments (or lack thereof), artists about light. Consider yourself an almost artist. Thanks for sharing. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticman Posted February 20, 2008 Share #8 Posted February 20, 2008 Great shot - I love these almost surrealistic images that tell us something about what photography actually is - which is more to do with capturing a feeling than recording a scene imo.

Mark Antony Posted February 20, 2008 Share #12 Posted February 20, 2008 Yep looks almost 3D, can't beat subject isolation from the B/G. Great image. (long live film) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym911 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share #13 Posted February 20, 2008 Marc and ddp, again I appreciate your comments. What I have learned over the past year with an M8, is that whatever anyone says about digital capability/convenience/etc....the specific look of film remains an untouched domain. What pleases each individual is of course a metter of personal taste. I personally do see and feel a difference ,film images are more evocative and capture ,as Mani said above, "more a feeling than recording a scene" I don't care if film shooting takes me longer or is more expensive, I am just an enthusiast trying to get the maximum satisfaction out of my hobby. So my M8 gets used less and less and the satisfaction of my photography increases every day.It may change over time of course. thanks for the encouragement andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicar888 Posted February 22, 2008 Share #17 Posted February 22, 2008 Hi, Andy. Please inform us what developer you used with Neopan 400 to get such amazing tonality, clarity, and sharpness, including dilution and time. Thank you! Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym911 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share #18 Posted February 22, 2008 Terry, I expose at 320 ASA Development is in small tank. Developer is HC 110 Dilution B (1:31) to make 320milliliters of solution. Develop time is 5mins . Agitation by inversion for the first 1 minute continuously and then for 5 secs every minute. Develop temperature is 20 deg centigrade. Sometimes I may add 30 secs to the development time if it is a low contrast lighting situation such as the image above. I scan the Negative at 2400 dpi with LOW sharpness or NO sharpness (Epson 4990) as 8Bit TIFF using B&W Negative standard settings. Then in Lightroom or Elements I may adjust contrast a little and then sharpen before saving for WEB. Hope this helps and thanks for looking.
