Okay, I'll look into it. But I don't have a box that will execute a *.exe binary. All my computers are UNIX based. Perhaps one's available for OSX at least. I was looking how I might do it in Photoshop.

The new Nikon DF has generated some buzz. Their ad campaign and this product shot of the Black DF With A Modern Lens (http://nikonrumors.com/2013/11/07/nikon-df-demand-not-as-strong-as-the-d800.aspx/) was the inspiration for this bit of a spoof. With all the market talk implying, finally, Pure Photography once again... got me thinking. If pure photography on the camera end is turning dials for the camera's primary controls and manually focusing, sheesh, most here -if not all- have been doing that and even take it one step further. Plus no waiting on the pre-order list either. Since there are some Pentax 6x7 owners here, I used that camera for the shot.


Awesome shot tuco!
Don't know what to tell you about the software...kudos if you want to go 100% UNIX but hey, maybe try it out on a friend's computer or something.

Dropped anchor in NC and enjoyed the sunset.



Wonderful sunset, and here is today's sunrise from Arizona, though I'm originally from NC too. Only had a few seconds to get 3 shots, it changed that fast.

Thanks. I built my firewall/router and radio to copper bridge from OpenBSD. I have FreeBSD and Linux on a couple of other boxes and have OSX to take care of other things. My last Windows OS was Windows 2000. I still have the disks. Perhaps I could slap a box together with that on it with all the computer parts I have lying around.

I had a sunrise like that a week ago in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I was just pulling out, at the signal light waiting to get going and I looked in the mirror and saw this.

I grabbed the camera and pressed the shutter button. The light turned green, other drivers were honking their horns an I headed for the 24 highway. It was only a couple blocks up the street, and by the time I got there the morning colors were gone.

At some point last year I bought a dozen rolls of Ektar in 135 and 120 because I had just heard so much about it, and how awesome it was. Ektar and me didn't get along though. Every time I shot it I thought it was disgustingly magenta and blue in the shadows and pinkish yellow in the highlights, among other things...but I think I finally figured it out. I know some people get beautiful results out of it (and I don't know what post-processing they are doing) but for me it's just my "silly colors / hipster / vintage feel" film I guess. It does what it does well...it's just not what I would choose for accurate colors. No offense to those who like it!! And maybe you know how to control it more. I'll stick with Velvia and Provia! Or Portra...

Here's some stuff from Florida. Shot on my Nikon SP and 35mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.4:

...Every time I shot it I thought it was disgustingly magenta and blue in the shadows

Sounds familiar for the few rolls I've tried of it. I wonder if it would work better if the scanning software had it profile for it. I use VueScan and it has profiles for the older films but none of the new Kodak stuff.

[Corran]

I really don't think that's it because I don't use profiles for ANY of my negative films, and so I'm just using white/black points and such. I get natural colors on most films (unless I screwed up) but Ektar is just wacky.

[jcoldslabs]

Bryan, I've never shot Ektar (and you've got me thinking maybe I won't) but here's a Velvia shot that echoes your first image above.

In other news, I'm doing some real field tests of Acufine with T-Max 100 and Tri-X, and I am blown away. I'm getting the same or better tonality as my old standard Rodinal, with 2.5x the effective speed, with less grain and MORE acutance! Sounds like a winner!

I don't know, I like a little difference in shooting color film. Otherwise, I might as well shoot digital. I agree Ektar (and Portra) can do some strange things with color, but so does Velvia! Here are two with fairly normal color, Ektar and Nikkor 50/1.4 1950s RF lens.

[Corran]

Absolutely! I like different films for different things but for me Ektar never really slotted in with what I wanted to "see."

[Peter Gomena]

I've relegated Ektar to my 1950s Agfa Clack and pinhole camera use. The color I get from those is goofy anyway, so I figure the more the merrier. I really like Portra 160 for "serious" color.

[Drew Wiley]

I've found Ektar to possibly be the most accurate color film I've ever used outdoors, based on some pretty intense objective testing. But ya gotta understand it
and how to correctly balance it for color temp. People just get so accustomed to the inherent idiosyncrasies of certain films, whether chrome or color neg, that
they eventually start accepting this as a visual "normal", or even a desirable effect, even though it's something artificial. Ektar is different in certain respects, but
can certainly be tamed much more easily than any chrome film, and prints wonderfully, esp by direct enlargement. It's not something you'd want to High School
yearbook portraits of kids with a lot of zits, however.

Agree with everything Drew said, except I left out the "intense objective testing" bit.
I tried Ektar first on a whim; I loved the punch, sharpness and vibrancy, and haven't looked to any other colour film since.

[Corran]

Well I think it's great how we can all have our own opinions on certain films, and find our own way with them...

[Drew Wiley]

You probably would be surprised at the degree I test things. But there is still a long ways to go before all the voices in the head of Ektar get psychoanalyzed, along with all its dreams. The basic difference is that, with chromes, photographers know they have to exposure carefully, but can quickly evaluate their progress and the learning curve with a simple lightbox. With Ektar, being a neg, it has to go thru something intermediate to view it, with all kinds of unrelated complications. They assume they can just shoot from the hip like amateur color neg films, wing it, and get forgiven in Fauxtoshop afterwards. Then they scan it sloppy and futz
around, and finally blame the film itself. Treat it with as much respect as a chrome, and the game ain't very difficult at all. ... But it's not a film for everyone or
every subject. That why we've got choices.

[Corran]

Funny how I shoot it the same as I would Velvia (and Portra for that matter) and it still has funky color.

[Drew Wiley]

Maybe you don't know how to correctly expose or print those either! ... Not saying you don't get the results you want, but that every film has certain idiosyncrasies
that you need to recognize if you intend to tame them. Portra is horribly idiosyncratic, yet in the sense of being superbly engineered for the class of usage it's largely
marketed towards, namely commercial applications skewed to portraiture. But this does not equate to accurate color by any means, but to what people expect skintones etc to look like. Problem is, related color in nature tend to become "pleasing skintones" instead or being accurately differentiated. People complain about
Ektar having blue shadows, while others screamed when Ektachrome 64 was replaced by films having less blue! As I recall, people called Manet and Monet nasty
names for painting shadows in nature blue.... Hmmm.... maybe they are actually blue, just like Ektar has figured out too!

[Corran]

Okay whatever Drew, I forgot everyone is wrong and you're right as usual.

[goamules]

Well, back to something important, let's talk about me! I still like Ektar!

Funny how I shoot it the same as I would Velvia (and Portra for that matter) and it still has funky color.

I shoot Ektar a bit more carefully than Portra, but not nearly as carefully as chromes. The "when in any doubt just give a bit more" works just as well with Ektar IME as with other negative films. I don't get "wonky color." I get rich, vibrant, accurate if rather saturated color. Shrug - dunno, I love it, and I'm far from "Drew Careful." The biggest reason I don't shoot more of it is just the speed. I continue to find 100 pretty limiting.

Tri-X, no filter, it has been suggested that the grain is due to my use of USM. This was one of the few images I have managed to scan with my Drum Scanner (been having a few issues with it), 4000dpi.

I really enjoyed looking through those Bill, as well as reading your reminiscence. I particularly like that first picture, as well as the one of the truck (!) and crowd from above. Obviously, the great man still had his mojo working, and was enjoying himself to boot. I wish I could have been born a little earlier, so I could have seen him in person. It was a moving experience though, to stand in the place where his cabin was there on Stovall Farms. I'd like to go back to the south someday and photograph those places in a more measured way.

Thank for the kind words regarding my stuff. I appreciate it.

As long as you keep posting photos, I'll keep lookin'.

[ScottPhotoCo]

Tim,
I don't know how these could be any better on 4x5; they are great, the tones are fantastic.
EDIT: the colour shots are excellent, too.

Thanks Ari! That's saying something. :) I still love the detail and beauty of LF, especially at larger sizes, but there is so much ground and material to cover LF just becomes time prohibitive. So with that in mind I generally look for really specific situation or light to shoot LF. Between the Hasselblad and IKON TLR the images I get are quite pleasing and I'll likely continue to shoot with those as well in the future.

It was interesting to me. After shooting primarily black and white in the past I shot a little more colour this year to answer requests from the car community. In reviewing the entire 2013 project I find so much more satisfaction in the black and white work than the colour. I may really keep my focus on black and white in the upcoming work as it makes me enjoy the final product so much more. As I'm doing this as a personal project I don't have the pressure of outside requirements to change my mind. :)

I hope you took it as a compliment, I certainly intended it that way.
You matched the format and camera type perfectly to suit the subject.
You might get more detail from 4x5, but you wouldn't have those shots come out that way because of the way LF works.
I use MF half the time because otherwise I'd miss most of those shots on LF; and the quality of most MF lenses is nothing to sneer at.
So...Bravo!

This leaf was bouncing up and down and swinging back and forth in the wind. I'm surprised that I managed to get it in focus at all. (It took 4 shots.) Unfortunately, the expired film had color shifted a bit and I had a hell of a time trying to balance it in PS.

[austin granger]

Yeah, that's great Jonathan. To my eyes, the color has a nice vintage (or out of time) feel to it, and the composition is thoughtful with the chimneys and with the empty empty space under the leaf. I keep expecting it to fall through the frame but of course it never will (at least not in this picture)!

Gee thanks David. Your picture has a nice enveloping sense of light. I'd like to have porch like that myself.

Speaking of light, it was recently suggested here that Oregon doesn't get any sunshine. Below is proof to the contrary. We get plenty of sunshine. In fact, I'd say this beam lasted a good ten seconds.

Austin, ten seconds? LF photos with sunlight in Oregon must be well nigh impossible. So anything like that would only have a chance on these shftf pages.

The chairs on my friend's porch were hand made by a pair of itinerant gypsies. He allowed them to camp on the property and provided them saplings from the farm as the raw material. Two weeks later they finished, he paid them the agreed upon price, and they left.

[Corran]

That's some pretty intense red/orange Jonathan!! I like it.

Here's a shot with Superia 100 made with my Pentax 67 and 105mm lens. I wish I could get a bundle of Superia 100 and freeze it. I love this stuff.

Thanks, Ari. When I was working on the scan it started to look like a technicolor version of the Sydney Opera House to me.



That's some pretty intense red/orange.

It is, but it matches the actual colors pretty well. We used to use paper plates all the time but were sick of the waste so we switched to these colorful plastic ones from the dollar store. They're not disposable but clean up very easily and are worry-free, unlike some of my wife's fine bone china that would be hard to replace if I were to--ahem--drop it. Not that that's ever happened....

Thanks y'all. This is from the 5D.
This was a great situation to have a color capture. I couldn't decide on the poppy flowers. It was nice to go through options and decide on their tonal values. Some options had them blending in too much. I wanted them to stick out. I hear ya on the upper left trees. I just tend to be pretty hard on my shadows ;-) I would like to open those up a click though.
Its a great little opening in the forest behind my house. It's off the main trail and you can see a light game trail that the deer use.

It's pretty much across the street and up the hill from Clarence H White's school and F Holland Day's old place. So I drove down there. Any major fans of pictorialism will recognize the "Little good harbor" cove. There is a pergola still outside the Day house. I didn't snoop around, people were working there. Just a quick curious driveby.

Pentax 67 camera with the 100mm lens on Tmax 400, developed in D-23.

It's been a while since I used roll film and the crunchy grain is kind of cool, I think.

I like the dock Joe. It's got a great feel to it.

Nice shapes going on here Jonathan. The hedge and the car seem connected. But when was it sunny? I must have missed that.

I have a few negatives I'd like drum scanned one of these days. about 4 years ago I went looking here in the Seattle area to get a drum scan of one of my 4x5 negs. I found a place but they only would do about 1800dpi, IIRC. Still pretty good size file for a 4x5 but this image needed some cropping.

I have found the maximum I can push a 5x7 LF image to is about 4000dpi but to be honest the size of the working files are so big that any digital post processing becomes a pain, this image is a 5x7 at 2100dpi (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?57170-In-Praise-of-5x7-Post-em-!&p=1082445&viewfull=1#post1082445).

I suspect the maximum I could get out of a 4x5 negative would be about 6000dpi with perhaps a little more if cropped.

What a mix of lettering too. Some letters are 2-D, some 3-D with a vanishing point to the left and finally one letter 3-D with a vanishing point to the right.

Nice shapes going on here Jonathan. The hedge and the car seem connected. But when was it sunny? I must have missed that.

It was the repetition of shapes that prompted me to take the photo--I think I was channeling my inner Austin Granger. :)

As for it being sunny, unlike with sheet film which I tend to shoot, process and scan all in the same day, this roll of 220 Tri-X was in the camera for a while. This image was probably taken two months ago back when it was sunny.

I thought the Oregon Tree Huggers banned open burning years ago.

Remember when all the lumber mills had those tee pee things that always had a fire burning in them?

[Peter Gomena]

I was intrigued by a ritual I noticed in rural areas near the Oregon coast a couple of years ago: People standing around a very smoky burning pile of stuff in a yard or field near their houses. Usually in the winter, on a calm non-rainy day. It turns out open burning is allowed in rural parts of the state as long as you're not burning garbage and if fire danger is low. It's a way to rid your yard of deadfall branches, orchard trimmings, etc. in areas where there is no yard debris recycling available. I think farmers are allowed some leeway for agricultural debris. In the metropolitan areas, leaf burning has been banned for 40 years, and we have huge yard debris composting sites.

Wig Waum burners.

They are pretty much gone now , along with the mills, and the timber industry.

[austin granger]

I had no idea about the legality of burning, but it's something I see fairly often in my explorations. I also didn't know what a wig wam burner was, although those too, I've seen. I even photographed the inside of one in Seneca a long time ago:

Interesting stuff about Oregon and the "Give A Hoot, Don't Pollute" thing.

I remember as a kid riding in the family car through Western Oregon, before I-5 was built. The smoke always hung in the air from the wood scraps burning at the mills, especially from Eugene to the California border.

Nice images. With "Bolex" you mean a (lens from a) Bolex movie camera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolex)?
How does this combo work?

[Peter Lewin]

Goamules: Striking image (beautiful colors and background swirl, looks like a petzval lens!). It looks like there is some vignetting. Can you post just a little about how you mounted a cine lens (IIRC Bolex is a movie camera, not sure of film size) on a still camera, etc.?

[goamules]

Thanks, the Bolex H16 Reflex was a 16mm Swiss movie camera, these high quality cameras used to cost a fortune, and have been used to make feature length movies. Anyway, the lenses are C-mount. Though you could probably make an adapter for a Pen-F half-frame camera, I don't know of any. So I shot this on digital, Micro 4/3s, with a common C-mount to M4/3 adapter. It will do a lot of swirl, it's almost a fisheye on this format. It vignettes, but the other lenses don't. They're all good.

The past year, a couple of very high quality, pocket digital movie cameras have been made (Black Magic and Digital Bolex). So these C-mounts are having yet another resurgence. Here is the front of the cam I bought last night...again, for the lenses.

It's a snapshot and not what I'd call real photography but I'd love to get some feedback from technical and artistic points of view to give me ideas on my way forwards. I feel so out of my league after seeing the work here!

I'm guess to get grain like that it was either highly pushed (which is also consistent with the contrast but you might have done that in printing) or this is a pretty severe crop?

I'm guess to get grain like that it was either highly pushed (which is also consistent with the contrast but you might have done that in printing) or this is a pretty severe crop?

Neither I'm afraid, just my rubbish attempts at PP. The top image is as shot and includes the edges of the film frame, the second image needed a 0.7 degree rotate and was then cropped to include the absolute maximum amount of the image possible.

For some reason the PP seems to cause me real issues with 35mm Tri-X.

I will continue to practise and hopefully get it right sooner rather than later.

Would have been a great portrait even without the background story; best wishes to Marcel, and well done, Tom.

The LF topic about photographing in cold weather. 12 below(f) when I shot this one. Light breeze going. Pixelograph from Fuji X-E1.

The digital gear is very nice for North Dakota winters. No bellows to catch wind so I can photograph in blizzards(35mph+ for a minimum o 3 hours - blowing and drifting snow) and lesser storms. Add in that in sub zero temps, especially with winds it is difficult to work photo gear at times.

Then we have Auroras where the digital really takes a lot of the guesswork out of the process.

Another area where the digital gear is nice. Would love to do these in 4x5 or 8x10. Ephemeral nature of the phenomena makes it difficult at times and the immediate feedback with pixelography is welcome and helpful.

When you are out and a major light show is going and you are working horizons, edges, buildings, windmills and light shows in various areas of the sky, even to the South 35 degrees above the horizon, the speed of digital makes it nice.

Hitting a half dozen pre-chosen locations to fit them in the foreground with light shows that vary in sky location as well as in intensity makes for hurried driving and setups to get things right. Helps I have a number pre-chosen and shooting angles blocked out for when we have good Aurora displays.

Either way shooting in cold(32 below a few nights ago and 2 below was our high today - warmest of the week -all farenheit) can be a challenge for any gear as well as on me at times.

Nice shots, the Aurora really looks nice.

I passed through Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota last week, just before the temps really dropped. I saw -15° F, and drove on over a hundred miles of nothing but compact snow and ice. I heard that a couple days later the temps dropped to more than -20°.

Brrr!

Here is my first ever 11,000 dpi scan from the Scanview 11000 which I managed to achieve this afternoon using Color Quartet 5.2.2 on OS9. Camera was Leica M4 with 21mm f4 Color Skopar.

Settings were RGB Lab, 2750%, 200lpi, 2.0QF, no sharpening and an aperture of 2. Only PP was to convert to mono, no other PP and no sharpening, this gave an 82MB jpg.
