arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Here's mine for the week. From a Christmas party my partner and I attended. Pretty sure it was my bessa R with voigtlander 75mm lens, f5.6, with flash (and a bit touched up in photoshop, to deal with my bleaching out the highlights. Blame the alcohol). FP4, in Ilfosol 3, scanned on an epson flatbed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Allen, your b&w photo is visually quite haunting, almost a solarisation effect. Could you let me know how you did it? And billblackwellphotography - is your photo of Hurst Castle the Randolph Hurst place? Where is it? Thanks, Arthur (apiarist1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray . Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Huh. I didn't know there actually is a 'Hurst Castle'….. Hurst Castle - Wikipedia Bill's is I believe 'Hearst Castle'. - William Randolph Hearst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Blackwell Images Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 ... billblackwellphotography - is your photo of Hurst Castle the Randolph Hurst place? Where is it? Thanks, Arthur (apiarist1) Ray is correct. It's actually "Hearst" - as in William Randolph Hearst.

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks billblackwellphotography. As an antipodean, I have only ever been acquainted with Randolph Hearst (spelt correctly, my error) eponymously, through Awesome Welles' movie, 'Citizen Kane', which impressed me for its cinematography, and crispness of b&w imagery, as well as the play on 'Rosebud' as a metaphor for lost innocence. I think I have only met that b&w crispness in another movie, 'Down by Law'. Now, Bill Bowes, that's a good image. I have a zorki 5 (at least I think it's a 5). I have a 35mm biogon imitation lens for it, and an 85mm slow focussing (agricultural grease), both jupiters. I've hardly used them. You've prompted me to get it out - perhaps for next week, or the week after, an image. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thank's Arthur. I enjoy ALL of my Fed's & Zorki's. A 35mm & 135mm are used (on the mainland) but the Jupiter 8's are the primary lens over here in Hawaii, mostly for my "romps" about Honolulu or the farmers markets. Get that 85mm into action ! . . it is super great for head shot portraits. Aloha, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Bowes Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hello everyone. Another from me, this one of the Sunday Farmers Market. The day before we had that "spooky" incoming ICBM alert & a lot of people were still talking about "Da Kine". . . read the margins of this sign.

Gus Lazzari Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 In North Carolina, we got a lot more cold & snow then predicted (Must be Global Warming ;-) ...

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Well, one more. We took a friend out to dinner, so I used my bessa with a recently acquired elmar 90mm f4 lens - I think I managed to crack about 1 in 6 for focussing. It was in a restaurant, with poor light, and my poor eyesight. Flash at f4. This is probably a lens that needs a lot more stopping down, and perhaps a more visually acute user. Again, FP4, developed in Ilfosol 3 (though, because of the heatwave we are experiencing here on the east coast of Oz, the cold water temperature - because of ground heating - is very high. So the grain is amplified. Gus, it's easy to play light with global warming. I get it all the time - 'it's just the weather'). Her name is Janelle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 This was more like the bulk of the shots - again f4 with flash. Native scan on epson V700 - no touchups. Very shallow DOF at fully open aperture, and hard to nail a good focus. This is Sammy, Janelle's daughter. She is good friends with my partner's son, who also has a disability. They are moving away and we will miss them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange to say but I only sort of know how I did it. With some photos I see a image in my mind, then I play around in in Photoshop until I see it in my minds eye if you follow.
