Incoming Storm, Lake Lanier Powerhouse

Contax I(f), 21mm f/4.5 Zeiss Biogon, TMX, HC-110:



Chased this storm a little and found these powerlines leading from the main power substation at the Lake Lanier Dam. Decided to take my old Contax I out for a spin. I don't shoot it a lot because it's a pain in the ass and a finicky camera but it is fun when it works. Here's one more from the day before, after a little rain storm, deep in the woods:

There are times when I really wish I had a big camera. But sometimes, iPhone has to do.

Same for you .

The second image looks like what you would shoot on your Rolleiflex, just color and not quite square.

Embracing grain with some Delta 3200 in my XPan:

I still remember when that grain was all I was trying to get rid of. Now, I cannot stop looking at its perfect distribution and pattern. Software cannot replicate that grain still.

For sure. I've found that it's very hard to shake off the prejudice that smooth and sharp is always superior. I'm sure for me, this is a holdover from studying a lot of f/64 School type photographers when I was starting out. It's not that smooth and sharp big negatives don't have a certain power, just that there are other roads to go down, other ways to try and express yourself. Not that I need to tell anyone here any of this! But, yeah, old habits are hard to throw off.
