"Far North" - a small Nikon F Gallery

<p>Hi all,<br /><br />some weeks ago, I traveled with the family to the northernmost trip of Denmark - nowhere near polar territorry, but very nice nature. This year, I left the digital at home and brought my trusty F instead. So here's a link to a small gallery of 13 B/W images:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.imagepro.dk/Skagen_2010/">http://www.imagepro.dk/Skagen_2010/</a><br /><br />Hope you enjoy them :-)<br /><br />Soeren</p><div></div>

<p>Nice photos , with a great camera. Soeren,you did the F proud. </p>

<p>Just great, Soeren, you certainly have an eye for a picture. Black and white at it's best. Like you, I find the CN400 a worthy substitute for conventional B&W, and it seems to have performed well for you here. "Frozen In", "The Long Walk Home" and "Going Home" appeal, particularly. Thanks for an enjoyable post.</p>

<p>Really nice, smooth shots. The touch of warm rendition and the subject matter were perfectly matched, and it looked as if the models all knew exactly how best to pose for you. Job well done, and just keep that old camera humming!</p>

<p>Soeren - You tell a wonderful story with your words and pictures. Your children are precious and beautiful. Very well done.</p>

<p>Soeren, great job, loved the pictures. Your compositions are wonderful (saw some of the other pics on your website). The F is my all time favorite. Does your photomic meter work?</p>

<p>What excellent use of light, composition and story-telling. Beautiful.</p>

<p>Soeren,<br /> Sorry to say but you are gravely mislead, the most northern part of Denmark is located near the North pole, on the Greenland. Actually Denmark is contesting the North Pole itself with Russia and Canada. They almost started a war couple years ago. Pictures are great in any way.</p>

<p>Very nice shots, and of course I would always consider an F a wise choice of machinery for cold weather.</p>

<p>Very nice work, Soeren.</p>

<p>A wonderful testament to a great classic camera and a very talented photographer.<br>

The Nikon F will still be humming along long after digital camera now in existence has gone to electronic heaven.<br>

This photo essay is a near perfect answer to the question "Why do you still use film?"</p>

<p>I don't care about the camera, you are a great photographer.</p>

<p>First class.</p>

<p>Beautiful tonality with a great classic. Nice work!</p>

<p>That's a nicely done record of your family outing. Great pictures.</p>

<p>Soeren, beautiful pictures. This is what photography is all about. Your Children and their children will enjoy these pictures, long after we are gone. </p>

<p>Very nicely done. I enjoyed both the photos and the narrative.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>I do love these photo diaries from exotic places, made even better by a cool classic.</p>

<p>In twenty years your little ones could come back to this spot with their little ones. And that "F" will likely still be working!</p>

<p>Those photos really took my breath away. Even viewed at such a small size, they're truly amazing, and it proves, once again, that the camera doesn't matter (although the F is a beautiful piece of machinery).</p>

<p>These few photos might convince me not to bring my dSLR to Europe this summer and just shoot with 2 film cameras.</p>

<p>Wow, I am honestly stunned and humbled by all your positive comments !! Makes me want to go out and shoot even more :-)<br /><br />The camera was made, when I was less than one year old, and it still works flawlessly - the meter included. I really enjoy working with a "historically significant" camera like the Nikon F (or my Leica M3, for that matter), but I still agree that the final result is the most important.<br /><br />My mother is an accomplished photographer with quite a few exhibitions in the past, and I really appreciate that I can go back in the family album today and find some really great pictures from my own childhood. And I definitely believe that she is solely responsible for my own photographic enthusiasm :-)<br /><br />Anyway - thanks again for all your positive remarks - I'll be back with more pictures for sure :-)<br /><br />Soeren</p>

<p>I'm really late to the party, but what a great presentation! I enjoyed looking at all of these.</p>
