safe haven for tiny formats

35mm digital with a vintage helios 44-2 58mm f/2 @ f/16 (a carl zeiss biotar copy)
While I have only shot digital (never have shot film), I find myself inspired by all the great large format film work on this forum. I really love the smooth tonality and detailed highlights and shadows that a lot of the photographs on this forum show. I guess I'm a digital guy trying to emulate the look of film, haha.

Very well seen, and great tones!

A blast from the past - a sequence of photographs from Kowloon City in Hong Kong when the old Kai Tak airport was still in operation;

Thank you, Jim. It means a lot; especially coming from you. Your work is part of the reason I now love to look at LFPG for inspiration. Those trees are amazing. The "look" goes perfectly with the composition and subject to give a really timeless feel that takes the viewer away from the constraints of reality. I actually saw your large format better light work on Jack/Guy's forum a while ago too. I really loved the Angkor Wat images.
I have to confess though, I'm a college student who has never shot film and is only on his third camera/second DSLR and I love learning Photoshop . But I really appreciate and enjoy viewing the work done on film gear and in the darkroom and ultimately learning from those works.
So, thank you LF photographers for the amazing and inspirational work

and here's another "wannabe-LF" photograph from the same, amazing helios 44-2 58mm f/2 lens

Lovely, jon.oman. Striking color and classic composition make for a very nice photo. Format, camera, lens, film, if you feel like divulging secrets? The detail makes me think 6x9 rather than 35mm, but who knows? Got some more?
