Heh. Once a web developer, always a web developer... Plus, I screwed up and exported all the photos at 1024 instead of 800, so instead of re-exporting, I cheated and crushed them with the width tag.

In any case, here's a basic template, without the possibly unnecessary width tag:

Testing.






Just testing.

you need to test more!

Olright.

Yay!
That's really a wonderfull picture. Is it b/w film (and if so, which)?

Thank you, sir.

Yes, it's real, traditional silver halide black & white film. For the record, any black & whites you see from my New York trip will have been shot on Fuji Neopan 1600, exposed at ASA 1600 through a Leitz 40mm f2 Summicron on a Leica CL body, developed in XTOL, and Photoshopped from reversed direct-negative scans.

1600? Wow, that's fast, but still good detail it seems. Maybe i ought to try that film some time. I tend to use the slower Ilford films, like the FP4 125 ISO...

They are all extremely beautifull MOM. Thanks for posting them!!!

Only try it if you like grain. It's fine sand, really. But I like grain, and this is my favorite film of them all.

125 ASA... I wouldn't take more than a picture a year, except off a tripod. I used to shoot T-Max 3200 in bars and pubs, rated at 12500 or 25000. Dots. Du pointillisme en conserve, quoi.

125 ISO, mind you. We silly europeans don't express in ASA. I'd have to look up what it translates too (i never was too good in memorizing the charts).
I've been avoiding grain in b/w shots because i'l always afraid i'd screw it up. I mean, i like certain shots with grain, but i'm not confident in my skills to do it myself.

Bows, humbly.

Hah, 'boots, curse me if you will. Or even thank me. Yer welcome.

But I see, at least the new camera is not wasted on you.

Nice.

@ Doggo:

@ MOM: That is some damn impressive reflecto-pr0n!

Impressive.
Very impressive.

Lovely, lovely shots, Mr Man.

Pure Art MoM!

One of the great unanswered questions in photography is why the 'bokeh' of Leitz lenses seems especially designed for B&W films. There is a luminosity from the Leitz/B&W combination that I have never found elsewhere.

The recent NYC MOM pics make me want to go pull out the literally hundreds of monochrome prints I have somewhere in my warehouse & start to scan them.

But what it really made me do was to pull out my M6, load a roll of BW400CN and throw it into my backpack. The irony, of course, being that the image of my M6 was shot with one of my digitals.

Girlie Leica?!?



Can I join in on the fun?

Had to run around looking for "Signage" for ideas for a project, and ran into these sights... Good thing I had my camera with me.







I'm testing out tagging with html, so bear with me.
