Rolo Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share #21 Posted July 30, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Andy, it was Ilford Pan F film in my Leica MP. Azzo, all the wide shots were with the 24mm. I removed it during the 'Masterclass Session' with Falstaff whilst Andy was moderating the coffee HaHa...- I got Falstaff to lie on the floor, with his head on the ground and giggled to myself as he shuffled across the tarmac on his shoulder. Hope his shot of the Fun Fair was worth it. I love these Leica days out. Ben, the lens was the 24mm, used full frame, but without the finder was remained at home for the day. Thanks Amado, come next time, if there is a next time. Falstaff buys the coffee. Here's a shot of a real pirate. I was quite taken by this lad and he had a glint in his eye that somehow caught my attention ....... When I asked permission to take a photo, the response was "no problem with a Leica M film camera". I replied that is exactly actor Jack Nicholson's reaction - Leica M take what you want. MP 90mm Elmarit @ f4.0 Rolo Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted July 30, 2008 Share #22 Posted July 30, 2008 rolo - I've arrived late at this party. As usual, all are superb for composition, contrast, tonal range and interest. Lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted July 30, 2008 Share #23 Posted July 30, 2008 Re # 8...Lovely like all the rest. Re # 7 & # 9......Superb portraits with awesome tonality and composition. Rolo, Well done yet again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted July 30, 2008 Share #24 Posted July 30, 2008 Rolo It's all been said above, but really very good. I particularly like the way you have managed to depict the curves of the stairs. As for the creaminess of the images..... Falstaff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted July 30, 2008 Share #25 Posted July 30, 2008 HaHa...- I got Falstaff to lie on the floor, with his head on the ground and giggled to myself as he shuffled across the tarmac on his shoulder. Thanks Amado, come next time, if there is a next time. Falstaff buys the coffee. Rolo Yep, and end product? one lacerated shirt. Amado, come - there will be a next time, but not for Rolo, he can walk. Falstaff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted July 30, 2008 Share #26 Posted July 30, 2008 Stunning collection of images, top to bottom. Every composition has obvious thought behind it. Really great work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolo Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share #28 Posted July 30, 2008 Was going to leave this until the end, but let's stay roughly in sequence. Our beloved Moderator stood by the side of me, saw exactly what I was shooting. We'll see if he kept his gun in his holster. Eric Morcambe was one of the all time great comedians, Morcambe & Wise, and it's fantastic that this statue is there in his honour. He kept me and millions of others, laughing for decades.

Rolo Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share #31 Posted August 2, 2008 Thanks you all for commenting. Here's a couple of images. See Pete and Falstaff on the top shelf studying the dancers.

sharookh Posted August 3, 2008 Share #33 Posted August 3, 2008 Rolo - Number 4 is a classic. I don't know if you intended it - but it resembles the fibonacci spiral!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted August 4, 2008 Share #34 Posted August 4, 2008 Rolo, I knew why I said what I said to you in Morecambe when we first met . Very, very good shots indeed. ## 2, 4, 5, 6 and 9 strike me even more than the others. A big thumbs up from Germany, Andy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted August 4, 2008 Share #35 Posted August 4, 2008 Whats the story with the 90elmarit? How old is it? Cracker portrait. The indoors stuff is very smooth. Softer, finer light though. Great geometry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share #36 Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks Martin. Sharookh - I presume it's a perfect fibonacci spiral. I must have a look and see what you mean. Kind words Andy. It was good to meet you. A good day all around. Please have a word with BMW Germany and resolve the problem with Falstaff's early warning tyre puncture system. A nuisance when you're chasing early morning light. Nevertheless, it got us there for lunchtime. Rob, the story with the 90mm Elmarit ? Well, it's a thin Elmarit and it cost me very little (£300) two years ago. It produces excellent results unless it's pointed directly into the sun at which time it's prone to flare. It's a little soft when used at f2.8, but it captures the image. At f4 it's brilliant and I don't hesitate to use it. Easy to focus and frame. Better on a film M camera for quick portraits, but I'd probably seek a 75mm Summicron for a crop M8. Here's a shot I did on an M8 and have no complaints about this: Urbis Manchester on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted August 4, 2008 Share #37 Posted August 4, 2008 Please have a word with BMW Germany and resolve the problem with Falstaff's early warning tyre puncture system. A nuisance when you're chasing early morning light. Nevertheless, it got us there for lunchtime. Rolo, as a matter of fact BMW's CFO lives just three houses away from me, in the same street. I do not get to see him very often though, as we both work long hours. What exactly was or is the problem with Falstaff's car? Indicating a punctured tyre when there is no puncture? I know that these systems are pretty sensitive to uneven tyre pressure on the same axle. In other words, if tyre pressure on, say, the right front tyre is different from the pressure in the left front tyre, the system is lead to believe that there must be a puncture, when in fact there is none. Of course, it could be a malfunctioning sensor, too (if the particular system employs sensors that is). Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted August 4, 2008 Share #38 Posted August 4, 2008 Couldn't you just have knocked a nail into the offending tyre to avoid a false warning? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted August 4, 2008 Share #39 Posted August 4, 2008 Fellows What's this - beating up on Falstaff? Not only did he run one of you across, next time he will run one of you over, but as he had promised, he also bought then first load of coffee for everyone. He will do so next time with great pleasure as it will be laced with something suitably disagreeable. Wiazard, do make a point of saying hello to the BMW chap and ask him for a new one for me - a free sample if you like. It was good meeting you even if it was for a short period.
