Photo of the day

That's some colection of bottles there, full or empty! P.
 
I was disposing of some B&W 120 rollfilm (yes it still exists!) - specifically Ilford Pan F which is a fine grain film rated ISO 50. The guy who took the film wanted some guidance and I dug out some images which I had taken in 2017 using my Zenza Bronica ETRSi 645 medium-format camera. Developed by myself and scanned with some tidying up. Nothing amazing just shows how well this film performs, and fine grain of course.

 




@Claus3428 - Pan F - one of the best emulsions ever made - as long as you had buckets of light to throw at it - or a tripod - above - the 35mm version - the tonal gradation was - and is - exceptional - the almost total lack of grain - I found it best shot slightly - over exposed - just by a third or half of a stop or so - then adjust the processing - it has a look like no other film - I still use it - with rangefinders. Leica mostly. I.
 
Wonderful photos, loving the multiple reflections in the bottom shot. P.
 






Most still images - look like they exist on a singular flat plane - in my personal work - I have been interested in trying to multiply that out - reflections - are the obvious way to start - if - initially - the viewer - is confused - as to what they are looking at - you are half way to a good picture - rangefinder cameras and film - I. @Blademonkey
 
Fantastic! Tell me more about the top picture please. P.

What do you think P? - as to what we are seeing. Surrealism loses a lot of its charm if it is explained. Alicante - harsh afternoon light - the best you could make of it. Leica M6 - I think - not sure - I have more than one rangefinder - might have been a M4 P - Voigtlander - 40mm f 1.4 - pancake lens - proper film - can't remember which. Looks a bit like Agfa APX to me?



Madrid - same lens - not as sharp as a Leica lens - but renders things gorgeous - I.
 
That is certainly surreal and that's now a different shot, I can see more in the top photo now, right in the middle of the shot looks like a young lad with a large handbag on his head with a reflection of a hooded youth looking at him with the street behind caught in the same reflection......very good, I like to be puzzled by a picture and be held by it for a while.

Interesting bit of street art in the bottom picture . P.
