michael_levy3 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Tour bus near the Vancouver Public Library. M10, Summilux 50mm. (At first I put Summicron 35mm, but I realized from the colours that it was the 50mm. I get a very distinctive and lovely richness from that lens). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Haven't done much this week, so an old shot: M6, FP4, developed in Ilfosol (and probably cooked, given the grain). It's a shot of my partner's daughter, one of two daughters. They (my partner and her children) have fraught relationships, but this photo was taken at a good evening dinner, an enjoyable time. Isn't life the strangest thing you've ever seen? I was testing an elmar. 90cm that I'd recently got from ebay. By the 'aberrations', probably f5.6 0r 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Uhooru, that's a good photo, clean, crisp, and well balanced. Good. Thanks. Arthur (apiarist1). If I get to do some photos this week, I'll post another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Billblackwellphotography, that's a good shot. Where was it taken. Evokes ideas of industrial decline, the 'wastelands', the post modern situation of advanced capitalism, where 'production' has been replaced with 'twitter', 'facebook', etc. Well done. And Bill Bowes, another unbelievably sharp shot, with character. I don't know how you do it, with feds, and jupiters. My foray into the blessed Russian reproductions was less than an aedifying experience. Russian roulette, with me losing most times. I retain a couple of fed 2's and a zorki 5 - rarely used. Putting it bluntly, they are junk. Admittedly, their optics were good, but the mechanics were 'crap', and if you got a lens that wasn't assembled by a drunk (thanks Lenin, your attempt to prop up Ukraine wheat production by giving your citizens a weekly quota of vodka, really did the trick - just see what it did to Mickael Gorbachev when he tried to deal with it), well, it was like winning the lotto. But invective aside. Great shot, Bill Bowes. Stric, tell me about this shot. On the face, there's not much there. Tell me a story about it: 'sing to me a song, oh muse' (you may have read the Iliad, Homer's epic. It's in the opening lines; or at least, in one translation of it).

Bill Bowes Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hello again everyone. Arthur, I believe most of the "luck" with the FSU Fed's or Zorki's is that they all had CLA's before I purchased them. Cameras all came from a single Ukraine Ebay seller, the black bodied Jupiter-8's were from Russian sellers (cameras came with Industar 61 lens, which are not bad f11-f16). Most work is with 400asa materials & chemistry is either Obsidian Aqua or Pyrocat HD. Speeds are 1/100 or faster, so my shakes don't pop up in the pictures! E xposures are f11-f22.

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Bradleycloven, a lovely shot - well composed, and capturing a beautiful moment. Bravo. Tell me who she is. You have done well. You have captured a piece in a vibrant life - again, well done, bravo. Some people take photos, others capture moments in time. I have seen many moments captured in time on this site - this is one. Done well. As said earlier, I have not done much this week, but a shot from a concert Jan and I attended last weekend - 'the seven sopranos'. So, partly a mea culpa from my earlier post, which was pretty much crap (cooked fp4 - our summer here has been strange, and hot, the ground water has been hot. We have not yet had the change of seasons, no autumn yet. And I think that North America is yet to get out of winter).
