Bill Blackwell Images Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 ... A filter used? I'd guess a deep yellow or red? ... Just a UVa protection filter was used. I have a set of B&W filters (red, yellow, and orange), but I've actually never used them - in fact I only recently removed them from by camera bag. “When you come to a fork in the road, take it ...” – Yogi Berra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Well, Billblackwellphotography, bravo. Your capture of contrast is exceptional. And Sergio_ortga|7, really like your shot. You've balanced the light well, and captured a moment. So, my shots from the week. All taken (and I apologise for 'hogging' the space) at my spouse's and her son's carers Christmas gala. My spouse's late age son has 'global developmental delay', though, of all her children, I think he is the most mature and sensible. Late age marriages are a task. But I ramble. So the shots, all with a monochrom m, 50mm summicrom collapsible, and a flash. The first is of my wife and her son - the theme of the night was circus: he's supposed to be a ringmaster, and she a ringmistress. The second, one his carers. The third, a carmen miranda lookalike. The fourth, a young man, trying to be a clown. Finally, a young man who also attends my wife's son's day care program ('House with no Steps'), which he likes to call 'going to work'. Indulgence for the excess is requested. Look forward to further photos. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christopher_a._junker1 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Rick's field kitchen shot again points out that the Summarit is often unfairly disparaged. This is a nice shot, scratched lens or not. f5.6 or 6.3 equivalent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Some lovely photographs. Billblackwellphotography, I would give my eye teeth for your control of contrast and saturation, as I would of your's Bill Bowes. Rick_van_Nooij, they are good shots (although I was a bit dismayed by the deep frown of the person on the right of your first shot). Tell me a bit more about your images, their context, how Remembrance Day is remembered where you are - not sure where that is (I have seen some other shots of yours, here and on other sites, of, apparently, what appeared to me, people re-enacting WWI/II events - not sure) if you would. Look forward to more of your photos Rick_van_Nooij. Arthur (apiarist1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Sergio_ortega|17, I'm sorry, it didn't connect to me that you used an M3. Tell me about the film you used and the processing. It's a great shot. Where? Regards, Arthur (apiarist1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Cheers for the replies everyone. This particular Summarit suffers a bit of glow and slight reduced sharpness in spots compared to an absolutely pristine specimen I keep on a IIIf, or my Xenon that is married to a wartime IIIc. Of course the Summarit/Xenon formula isn't known for its super sharpness to begin with. Arthur, May 4th is our national remembrance day for all those who died in World War 2 (initially) and all other conflicts the Dutch were involved in that came after. At 8 PM the country grinds to a halt and holds a 2 minute silence. We celebrate Liberation day on the 5th of May. I cover a lot of Living History and re-enactment events with vintage cameras, usually in matching period uniform. http://www.flibweb.nl/flibweb/cpg154/albums/userpics/10001/ZB180954.jpg Yours truly as a Photographic Section Officer, US Army.

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Thanks, Rick_van_Nooij. I like the 'yours truly' shot (is that you?). Memory is such an elusive thing. How was it said about memory (I think in blade runner): moments lost in time, like tears lost in rain. I have a IIIf with summarit closeted away. I will get it out this weekend. Apart from our Anzac Day memorial/celebration, we here in Oz do not do much else. We were pretty much insulated from the European wars, at least domestically, though many ozzies died in WWI (dulce et decorum est pro patria mori). Less, I think, in WWII. And do not discount the xenon. I have a couple of retina IIc's -the lenses are gun sharp. Thank you again - I've now 'pictured' you. Keep the images coming.

Rick_van_Nooij Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yes, that's me. Small correction, it was taken with a Nikkor-HC 5cm f/2, not a Summitar, on the M-E. The Xenon 5cm f/1.5 does get pretty sharp, stopped down to f/5.6 and beyond. But wide-open I think Leitz (or more likely Schneider-Kreuznach) took it a stop to far. http://www.flibweb.nl/flibweb/cpg154/albums/userpics/10001/73hkttest02.jpg Leica IIIc with 7.3cm f/1.9 Hektor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
