Kinda boring composition, but it accurately shows the peaceful splendor of an evening at the lake. Needs something a little wider than my 24-85.

I went to St. Mark's Wildlife Refuge yesterday but it was a pretty crappy day to shoot - hot, humid, hazy, and the yellow flies were just ferocious. I wanted to see some Roseate Spoonbills that are there but I was out of luck. They were sighted about an hour before I got there and then disappeared. I hiked 3-4 miles around the pond they were at with no luck. I bagged a few boring shots but this was the only decent shot of the day:

Also, I just uploaded a video on my YT channel linked below showing a few more photos and video from the day. I had my GoPro attached to the hot-shoe on the F5, which makes for a funny video with my lens sticking out like a cannon from below.

Having a blast with a new-to-me IR camera bought via the forum here. This is on Monroe Island off Owls Head. It's fairly wild. I think I'd like to get left here for a day sometime soon with some LF gear. I shot a few rolls of B&W 120 too as I did not know how much luggage I'd get to bring along. I will be back. It's an island in town I'd never been to till last year when I visited the other end of the island. I grew up lobstering in the water near the island and never visited as it was off limits. Now, mita.org provides some stewardship and permission for no-impact visiting of this and many other islands. After I get some LF stuff scanned, I'll start scanning in my 120 film from here for flickr.

I have a small film freezer in my garage. It was time to de-ice it. These undeveloped exposed rolls are about 15+ year old. At the time I didn't think the pictures were worth developing. I might develop that previous generation of TXP but I don't have much hope for the color ones. Anyway I tossed a setup together for them.

A late afternoon visitor. Nikon D800E/Nikkor 60mm macro.

[Corran]

Nice one Marty. I had a beautiful Monarch flutter by me as I was leaving for work a few days ago so I went and grabbed my camera and chased it for 15 minutes around my yard, but he just wouldn't land for anything, so I gave up!

[Jmarmck]

This one just about landed on me. It settled on the leaf pictured. It stayed long enough for me to eyeball it closely, sans camera. It stayed long enough for me to walk inside and get the camera. I took a few shots and realized the macro would be better. It stayed yet longer so I could go back inside. After this shot I walked around the yard looking for other subjects. Thirty minutes later it was still there but with its wings open. I got a couple more shots from the back of its backlit wings. As long as it was there I could have gotten the 4x5 setup with the 120 macro. Wish I would have known.

[tuco]

Yes, that inline tree shot is nice, Scott.

Did you adjust the last image at all in PS? Or, it the haze at the base of the mountains as shot?
Many years ago I took one of the ferries to Banbridge Island to dine at a highly recommended Mexican restaurant..............oriented around salmon.
It was very good.

Yes and there was a lot of early morning haze (especially this time of year) that you can see in the color shot too.

My workflow is scan the image disregarding what it looks like on the sceen using 16-bit BW in the ProPhoto RGB color space. I adjust the scanning software parameters by looking at its histogram to grab as much density off the negative as the scanner will do (often it looks pretty flat and dull). I import it to Lightroom. I then export from LR to Photoshop to clean any dust ( I didn't photograph the dust so I remove it) because the content aware healing tool is way better than in Lightroom. I save and go back to Lightroom where I will adjust the final contrast curve to taste, do any cropping, any toning, add any vignetting or remove it and then sometimes mild geometry corrections for convergence/divergence.

Thanks. The digital has an old 2009 Kodak CCD sensor I picked up at a really good price. The Zeiss 35/2 Biogon ZM came with it. It might be better people lens than a sharp scenery lens. But I want to get a Zeiss 25/2.8 Biogon for it.

It's shot on a micro 4/3, a Panasonic G1. Regular chinese adapter. I've had about 10 Kern Cine lenses, this and a couple more are the keepers. You have to get smart on them, there are AR and RX versions, mine is an AR. I like it for it's Petzval look, though I don't believe it is that design. A very fun lens in a tiny package.

Thanks for the details Garrett. I really enjoy shooting with older/vintage glass. While my collection is very modest, I can see it expanding over the next couple of years. The unique rendering really makes them fun to use and the images they help produce are often compelling. Glad to see you enjoy visiting PASM. A favorite local of mine also.

This time it was the marching band. I decided to do something a little different/fun. I rigged up my 38mm XL onto a 2x3 Crown Graphic, fixed at hyperfocal, and stuffed a roll of 35mm into the 6x7 220 back. I used a 6x17 viewfinder (75mm) to frame. Here's a shot of the band playing in the stands:

So I had this idea that I wanted the moon and stars and glittering ocean and/or creamy ocean in one photo. Sort of a mix of steichen and starry night. But normal conditions do not allow that as when the moon is out, the stars are hidden by the moonlight. The eclipse last night allowed me to achieve that by sufficiently darkening the moon. Got a little aurora color in the photos as well. It was so dark I didn't have any sensation of color or place or dimension and I was perched on an uneven rock and had to keep touching the tripod to know I wasn't going to fall down.

Thanks. You certainly get a lot of milage out that lens on your 5D.

[Scott Schroeder]

Yes I have! It really fits my current vision and I love the workflow. I really have no inclination to upgrade the camera, the lenses or software. I would like to be able to print again but that's out of my budget right now. I was really into piezography years ago. http://www.piezography.com/PiezoPress/

A 5D is pretty cheap these days that I suppose if I really wanted to shoot that Tak on a digital 35mm format I could pick up a 5D just for screw mount lenses.

[alanbutler57]

Thank you Gary!

Those are some great rays in 10356!

[Scott Schroeder]

Hey tuco I didn't research beyond the tak. Is it pretty good clearance for a lot of lenses? Actually don't tell me that. I don't need a 35mm and 85mm. I repeat, I do not..

[Scott Schroeder]

So the super takumar 85 1.9 is $300-400?

I have a 18mm for one of my cameras and I think that is wide. But, dang, a 12mm.

[Corran]

Yeah it is stupid wide. Very hard to shoot, which is why I don't use it a whole lot. If you don't get really up close to something it just looks stupid - for instance that tree in the first photo looks kinda far away but I'm actually only like a few inches away from it.

The 12mm is actually slightly wider on the horizontal side (due to aspect ratio) than the 47mm XL on 4x5.

Oh, and Voigtlander recently announced a 10mm full-frame lens! Insane.

[Scott Schroeder]

I'm about to go on a trip and happened to be on ebay....
So I threw a bid out there.
Well, I now have a super tak 85/1.9
So far it seems to be exposing correctly and I can go to infinity without issue on the 5D.
I'm looking forward to it on my trip.

Here's one wide open and as close as I could get.
It was dim so the iso is up there somewhere. And I should probably use a tripod!

Oh, and Voigtlander recently announced a 10mm full-frame lens! Insane.10 mm on full frame !! now that is wide, I would think very hard to use a tripod would keep seeing the forward leg , I used a 14mm on full frame once and even on that had to be careful with tripod legs etc

[jp]

Flickr has a control to disable downloading, but it' easy to get around; just view all sizes, pick the big size, then right click, "inspect element", find the jpg and click on the URL and you've got it full size to download.
If you don't want full size photos downloaded, downsize them before putting them on the Internet.

It is presently 5km East of Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada.

I don't know if it was just forgotten about or if Kodak is still paying for Billboards. It's the only one I've seen in years.

I've never owned the 100/6.3, but I do have a very early (low 4-digit serial) 50/3.5. Perhaps I should try it out, I only bought it to pair with the camera, and I've stopped shooting 35mm. The camera is a little rough around the edges, but it is of much better construction than later examples. Perhaps the early lenses are also of superior quality?

[Barry Kirsten]

Scott, these are knockouts (as usual). I presume the welded-on Super Tak 50/1.4. I have mine in an EOS film camera and am waiting to finish the first roll - a disadvantage compared to digital. One difficulty I have is that the camera has a crappy screen and I can't see focus clearly. It's an EOS 300/Rebel 2000, and brilliant at autofocus and auto exposure, but it doesn't have a microprism or split image component to the screen, so visual focusing is very hit and miss. I'm saving up for an EOS 1n. Lovely work.

Scott - Your Utah series is terrific. Wonderful compositions and tonalities.

Ramiro - Love your tryptic. Both images make me want to investigate Tanol further!

Salmo: Wonderful! I love images that make me stare at them to understand them, while at the same time the image is aesthetically pleasing on its own. Good eye (as well as technique)! (I also had to check which sub-forum I was in, this could just as easily have been large format, at least on my computer screen.)

Thanks Barry and Jeff. I love it out there! Yes lot of Tak! 50 or 85.

Thanks Salmo, excellent image aswell. I agree with Peter.
Here's a scan of an older color negative. I finally bit the bullet and bought ColorPerfect. I wasn't shooting color negative film anymore because I couldn't get colors anywhere close.
I've added yet another piece of software to the process, VSCO.

Jody_S, the early lenses were very good. Probably in some optical parameters they are not as good as today. But certainly good enough to enjoy. The 100mm FED is a real sleeper. People like the 50mm FEDs too, much more common. Here is an early Leica IID with Hektor 50/2.5, on Ektar 100 film.

Scott,

Top notch! Have you ever consider to go LF with this sea of images in front of you? Analog is also a possibility to preserve this work for the future. I don't trust too much in digital files, woman and automatic weapons.

Cheers,

Renato

[Scott Schroeder]

Thanks Renato,
I haven't shot LF "film" in many years. The only LF I shoot nowadays is wet plate collodion. I do shoot 35mm film and develop in pyro. I love the results. I also love the results of my 5D. I suppose preservation is not something I'm concerned with. My "filing" and organization system for photography is incredibly inconsistent. I guess a few years back I decided I just want to photograph and not dwell to much on other stuff. I found a good combination of camera, lens and processing that meets my vision and how I feel. So I spend less time on that and more time being fascinated by all aspects of the world we live in.

[RSalles]

Hi Scott,

I admire your vision toward photography, and have also a 5DMkII.
About preservation, when I was young, 22-25 y.o. I have spent 5 years in Europe, working at the beginning with everything I could and finally becoming a professional photographer - I always enjoyed photography. Coming home I bought with me nearby 4000 negatives in 135 film B&W, a selected material of all these years, both pro and personal material. Several months after that, I had to go back to France to work again for some months and left those negs with an aunt. Then a water flood came at her home, and destroyed everything inside, my stuff included. This event have made in me a great impact, and maybe was the reason why I abandoned the profession completely and sold everything photographic related I had.

When my daughter was born, 7 years back, I acquired a new "toy" camera, to make some shots of my first baby and the passion reignited immediately. 2 years latter, a nightmare has happened and tried to delete all my photos again, but then I had a backup disk - I was working with computer networks at that moment and knew the "shark was circling the meat", all the time...
I'm a bit paranoid now, but you know, scalded dog fears cold water,

Cheers,

Renato

That's a lot of stuff, Randy. What're they building?

Here's a shot of my friend talking, in front of his self-portrait, at our biannual Senior Show.
Leica M9, 50mm f/1.1:

[Tin Can]

They are making new land on the left to expand the river walk (https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cdot/supp_info/chicago_riverwalk.html). Almost everything you see is floating on water.

We are also expanding land into Lake Michigan at North ave for more parkland.

One day an airport may be built in the lake, since we converted Midway Airport to park land.

Chicago is building like crazy everywhere at once, which is good as everything stopped for years after 2008...

btw that fairly detailed image was shot with a 3.3 mm lens, f2.4 at ISO 25 which I find amazing!

I also shot with Travelwide 4x5 90 mm but in B&W and softer it looks like crap.

[Corran]

I also shot with Travelwide 4x5 90 mm but in B&W and softer it looks like crap.

Why is it softer? I could understand the tones and color relationships being a challenge in b&w though.

[Tin Can]

Why is it softer? I could understand the tones and color relationships being a challenge in b&w though.

How do I count the ways. There are many possible errors. I was using a Wolly Raptor 90mm, maybe it's not so hot. I shot at f32, diffraction? I was on a bridge with vibration, maybe I miss guessed my hyper-focal as the scene is 1 block long and I moved in from infinity. Maybe my infinity setting is wrong. I didn't check with GG.

All that said, the scene is way better in color...

I'm going to check that Raptor against some other 90's and, who knows.

Basically I have decided to use the Travelwide for bar/street/night snaps with flashbulbs at fixed distance of either 3 or 5 feet, those shot's look great.

[Corran]

Gotcha. Haven't had a chance to shoot some more traditional landscapes with mine, but I did swap out the Angulon for an SA today in preparation. All my film is loaded right now in Grafmatics so I can't shoot the TW at the moment. I plan to at least spot check focus on the GG.

Ari, any chance you're using the Orton technique on this? It's an interesting look.

[Ari]

Peter, I had to look up "Michael Orton".
Yes, I'm doing something similar, but probably cruder, as I've been trying for a few days now to find a technique that gives both a soft and sharp look; sharp and defined, but diffused, edges.
You all get to see my mistakes and half-successes.

Along those same lines, Gary, your comment about Scott Schroeder's lovely image reminded me of this image.
It's actually from a 4x5 negative, but thought it was appropriate to add this seemingly dead "Tree of Life" as a complement to the idea of Hope you expressed about Scott's image.

I found one of the original "Art Deco" model Rolleicords from the mid '30s and just couldn't resist the funky but cool look of that camera. Turns out the shutter needs a complete overhaul and just shoots instantaneously at all speeds, so I used it as such to try it out when I was shooting at a cotton field (compare to the post in the LF Landscape thread).

Beautifully done, Ari.
The overall dark tones provide a wonderful contrast to the child's face.
Did you anticipate ("previsualize") that or see later when printing ?

[Ari]

Thank you, Dennis.
No, I didn't know what the photo would look like in the end, it was a question of finding the right mood and contrast, as well as an effective way of separating her from everything else.
I did my usual "dodge the face and other visible skin" thing, then went through some trial-and-error adjustments.
But it's a digital photo printed on an Epson; the grunt work was done in PS and LR.

[DennisD]

Thanks, Ari.
Nothing wrong with LR /PS. You achieved an interesting mood and lovely quality in the image.

Scott,
That's a great image in your post 10497. The lack of scale makes it even more abstract and interesting.
Looks like it could also be something out of an electron microscope !
