More and more film fun with something other than a Leica M

I like these a lot more than the betterlight images. I don't know why yet, but I'm thinking on it. The aspect ratio is spot on, too; it makes me think of individual pool lanes as relating to your vision and taking visual "laps" through the space.

edit: on that note, betterlight scans--the literal act of scanning--is rather reminiscent of laps and the motion of water itself. still like these more, though--maybe it's the almost saccharine feel of the soft focus in *this* environment that doesn't work for me as well. almost too obvious: the soft focus in the "hard" area. dunno. either way, you're the still bee's knees and I dig all of your work--i'm talking in degrees of awesome here :)

i like this format a lot.. i've dreamed of an xpan size/format digital rangefinder (full size sensor). The aspect ratio is just about perfect for pano, and I prefer the flat pano, rather than the sweeping kind you get with the Betterlight pano adapter.

I took some Kodachrome at the same time with the xpan.. willl be interesting to compare the two when i get them back

a few more from the shoot

Just finished scanning some T400 CN shot last winter with the Contax G2 and 45mm Planar. I liked the way the warm/neutral split tone worked on this image - almost like the actual colors.
