Sanford Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Not much response...may invite folks to join in who use rangefinderish looking cameras but technically are not rangefinders? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly! We’re not picky here, it’s all about the images. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennS Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I've been isolating so how about some from my last wander around India pre-pandemic...... All with M4 and 21mm Super Angulon on Tri-X in 1:1 D76 Down a Delhi back alley A grab shot. As I walked by, caught motion in the corner of my eye. When I saw what it was, swung the camera up and got this shot. I usually leave the lens set near the hyper-focal distance for times when there's no time to focus accurately. 21mm DOF is also a big help. Puducherry, South India Spectators at a bocce game. The fellow in front turned at the exact instant the shutter was released. Puducherry 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now triple jabbed, but it's been bad news here. Will try to post a couple of old shots. Keep safe. Regards, Arthur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Like GlennS, our family has been isolating (relatively speaking) and dealing with the world thru masks. So a couple of old shots. The first done with a IIIf, summitar 50mm, FP4, and a bit of 'pushing' in lightroom. The second with the monochrom, 75mm go to lens. Keep safe. We've been told that the omicron variant has just about reached its peak here. Who knows? Whatever, herewith my photos. You will note the problems I have with lint free processing, also cropping issues. Sometimes good, sometimes pretty atrocious: We have 'Australia Day' this coming Wednesday. I hope to get some shots. It is a contentious and divisive day. For some celebrating settlement, for others, regretting invasion. Keep safe. Regards, Arthur 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puducherry [ATTACH=full]1415129[/ATTACH] GlennS, a couple of ex-India shots of mine. I envy you. It is such a rich country, Full of diversity, let alone electrical wiring - I suspect it resembles Vietnam - and generosity (I spent a week in the ram mohan lohia hospital back in the 1980's). These are not rangefinder shots, but you evoked some old memories for me: The first, if it works, a young woman: The second, a young man The third a young boy dressed up as a girl - touristic: we were on a tour and they promised a dance, but young girls could not be let out at night. So, their brothers dressed up. Again I envy you. Such diversity, such richness. I should say that the ram mohan lohia hospital was exemplary. Amoebiasis is not something you want on a holiday. These days it's covid. Keep safe, keep well, get vaccinated, double shot and booster. Regards, Arthur, and thank you for the reminders of my past in your excellent photographs.

JDMvW Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 may invite folks to join in who use rangefinderish looking cameras but technically are not rangefinders? Actually, if you look back, many of us have been doing this all along. I figure anything with a viewfinder is sorta 'game'.:rolleyes: "finder" but no "range" (then, I have often been a scofflaw) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkle-Mpls Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Continuing on the India theme ... this is from February 2020, just as the pandemic was getting attention in India. Mala beads anyone? I think I bought two strands from this guy for my sisters. Edited January 24, 2022 by Farkle-Mpls 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
