W/NW Pic-O'-The-Week #35

Here we go peeps. Don't hesitate to post your favorite pic for this week. No need to lurk, step up and post..you know who you are:) I'll start with a photo from the end of the OC fair last week. X-Pro2, 35mm Summicron. Let's see yours!

 

Leica Monochrome, Type 246, and 75mm f2 Summicron.

 

and window shopping. Same camera, but 35mm f1.4 Summilux FLE.

Summicron 90mm f2

 

Uhooru, another interesting shot. Greg M, great. The monochrom is such a fascinating camera. Viktor_gruber, I'm from the antipodes, where were these shots taken?. Two shots, from me, one with my monochrom to chronicle the savage frosts this year where I am (taken with a monochrom m, 50mm lens); the other a happy snap at my step-son's birthday dinner this last wednesday, taken with my newly acquired debt, an M type 240, with a collapsible summicron 50mm. The colour cast has not been corrected. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1)

Madison, WI state capital - two weeks ago. Converted to B&W via Nik (film simulation = Tri-X).

Billblackwellphotography, that is a good shot. There must have been a dorian influence in the statuary of Madison's capital. When was the statue produced? I remember when I did my first degree, visiting the little garden off of the main quadrangle at Sydney Uni, there was a marvellous, quite large, bronze statue of Hermes (finger pointed to the sky, Apollo's messenger, reminding us that no message, or text, ever comes unmediated), and a small bronze 'garden art' of cupid, off to the side. They were mementos of the conflict, philosophical, between the Aristotelians and the neo-Platonists at the establishment of the university. And sergio_ortega|7, that last shot is quite breathtaking. I hope you have it framed and hanging on your wall. The other 'white sands' shots are good, though the horizon is a bit wonky. The flower shots are really enjoyable, but, to be honest, that last shot of white sands, is just so good. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1)

... When was the statue produced? ...

 

I have no idea. The roofline is littered with similar stone figures.

 

Here's one from Sacramento, CA - Leica M6, 50mm Noctilux

Viktor_gruber, I'm from the antipodes, where were these shots taken?. T

 

These shots were taken from Marina Blvd. San Francisco. Also , I did a little work with your picture. Sorry for that but I think in b&w it has different look.

 

It does, victor_gruber, and thanks. Can you email me the file? I would appreciate it. Or perhaps, I just download it - that may be easier. I prefer b&w (now just mixing up some brew suggested to me by Bill Bowes - catechol), but wanted to try my new debt, a second hand type 240.

 

Yes, never been to san francisco, but the shots had that look. Keep seeking the light. And thanks, Arthur (apiarist1)

OK, I think I'm finally getting the "right" process (at least for me) down in Adobe Camera raw with DNG files from the M246..

 

From today, with the 21mm Super Elmar..

 

Sergio, the feel and color on your photos are very nice. What film do you use?
