Glowing white - Nikon F3 and 24mm Nikkor

[CosteaM]

 

 

<p >As promised earlier in the “what are you shooting this week-end” thread I’m posting few shots that I got right with my Nikon F3 + Nikkor 24mm/ F2.8 combination. Oh, I added a Tiffen Red filter to make the subject stand out.</p>

<p >I went to shoot few farms in my neighbourhood that so far resisted the expansion of the city. I wonder for how long. I resent the disappearance of farms as a way of living.</p>

<p >What I saw and tried to bring into the picture is the white color of the silo and roofs that was kind of glowing in the morning sun.</p>

<p >On the same film (Kodak Plus X 125 – developed in D-76) I had couple of shots taken at the U of T campus in Toronto couple of weeks ago. I hope you like it.</p>

<p>Very crisp shots; I like the contrast in the pictures on the farm.The farm structures stand out. Thanks for posting. sp.</p>

<p>Love the “Green Lane Farm” photos, but I wish that big white cloud wasn't there.</p>

<p>silver looks white on B&W film does it not?</p>

<p>Les, you are correct. I'm always having trouble uploading pictures on PN. It use to be easy but they made some changes. Anyway here are the bigger vesions:</p><div></div>

<p>I really like the barn photos and the U of T are also very nice! I like how the wide angle enhanced the breadth of the farm.<br>

The red filter sure helped .. I assume the barn was red too! Plus X is such a fine product and what better soup than D76!!</p>

<p>I really must dust off the red filter...Nice work, Mihai, the drama the filter adds to the photographs is quite spectacular. Once, a range of filters was part of every photographers kit; I used a light yellow filter permanently mounted on my wider lens, the way most photographers now use a UV, and you certainly wouldn't have ventured into the realms of landscape photography without a yellow, orange, red and possibly green. When colour photography became the norm the old filter kits languished in the drawer, though polarizing filters gained popularity. I like your architectural shots very much and, as Chuck observed, Plus X and D76 is about as retro as one can get!</p>
