Scott, this is terrific. There's a lot to look at and it's well composed with a great tonal range. I like it.
Thanks Cindy.Jorgen, Wonderful photos. The photo "Willtribe
JBCrane, What a great story about bringing out your Dad's gear and enjoying it so much. Photo looks wonderful.
Thanks Jorgen... it's an interesting exercise to run the new emulsions through the old glass... and be able to really spot the technical improvements in the more contemporary images. The old adage that 35mm film has never been better - while digital cameras "continue to improve..." leaves me extremely glad I've continued with film... I feel it has really hit a zenith and creative potential is vast. Digital's going to finally reach the top of the mountain only to have film greet it with, "what took you so long?" Great fun.Beautiful tones in that photo, John.
Yes, the old lenses still work. It's often easier to work with an F6, but one of the beauties of film is that all the research and all the improvements that have gone into the medium also applies to cameras as old as Methuselah.
Jorgen, these are terrific. I especially like the second and third. The second reminds me of the Bresson image, "Juvisy, France 1938" where they're sitting on the hillside, picnicing (from the looks of it), with a boat in the water below, at top of frame. I like the cow.Three from Sapa, Vietnam. All on Ilford Delta 100. Unfortunately, my old, trashy scanner can't show all the fine detail in this film, not even close.
Mike-that Columbine image is powerful... nice work.Some more from the Hassy. All on tripod, this time.

Thank you, John. That is not a cow btw, it's a water buffalo. They are surprisingly agile climbers those beastsJorgen, these are terrific. I especially like the second and third.

Beautiful portrait, ReeRay, under what seems to be rather challenging lighting. Did you find Acros 100 her in Thailand? I've always wanted to try that film.
Ray, Masterful shot Of A Dear, Wise Man!
+4! Beautiful capture ReeRay! Love the sharp lines and clarity, a wonderful shot!Beautiful, Jorgen! Serious, thoughtful.
I also like the ´blad/Acros portrait, ReeRay.

These really are terrific, Jorgen. I love the subtle tonalities, but what I really love is that first shot. Priceless and timeless all at once.
Jorgen, Outstanding!!!
Excellent Jorgen and that scanner looks fine to me.
Beautiful, Jorgen! Serious, thoughtful.

+++++6!Jorgen, your recent series of shots have just been incredible. Reportage/travel photography at its best. As jbcrane mentioned, they show the continued relevance of 35mm as a medium (I had half given up on it). I only wish I could milk that kind of quality out of the small neg as well as you.
Thank you, Leif, and yet another beautiful mountain photo :thumbup:
You really got some nice light in this one, Leif.
Yes, Stunning Light & Comp Leif!
+++++5! Beautiful Capture!Leif, Your mountain is beautiful in that light.
Thank you, Mike. You are far too kind.
The first of your three photos above has an interesting "look" and enormous depth. Beautiful!
Mike, Awesome Work With The Hassy!
Mike, Beautiful tones from the Hassy.
