Photograph and Camera talk

Great shots @Marc2706
The second one is my favorite

[Marc2706]

@Jett129 thanks a lot for your kind words Jett! Much appreciated! I am a bit old-fashioned and I really love the look and the haptics of Leica cameras (analog M3, M-A, digital M10) except a small and light Nikon Zfc.
The first photo with Niloofar was taken with the Nikon Zfc. The second one with the senior lady with a M3 and a Kodak Tmax 400 film, and the last two photos with a M10.

@weftyarn thanks a lot! It is also one of my all-time favorites.

[Jett129]

@Marc2706 I would also pick the second one as my favorite as well,as it reminded me of a picture, I think, called Woman in a window,by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Are you printing these as well?

[Marc2706]

@Jett129 thank you very much. Number 2 is also for me very special because it happened in the streets of Kashan in Iran. It took a while until I had the courage to ask her for a photo. But she smiled and said „yes, for sure, why not“. I also made a print of this photo. Sometimes I print photos but only for special occasions.

Wow, there are some really great photographs and photographers here, nice to see! A lot of very good work.

It's been a while since I went out with a camera, but I still consider myself a landscape photographer, black and white mostly. Since my baby girl was born a year ago I stopped going out to take proper photographs, it will come back one day I'm sure. For now I use my nice and overkill camera to take baby pictures and shots of denim haha. Hope you like some of my work.

[Jett129]

@Larkens Wow,Really great,in the meantime please post more pictures. What are you shooting with?

[Marc2706]

@Larkens Good for us that you did not stop landscape photography. I really like this series, but the first photo with the crossing and the trees is outstanding!

[Larkens]

@Jett129 Thanks! I'll post some soon! Glad you like it. I use a Fujifilm GFX 50s II - and on most of these pictures, the 45mm lens.

I prefer the winter, autumn. Gloomy, heavy clouds, rainy and empty landscapes. I mainly shoot near my home in The Netherlands, the farmlands and along the coast.

[Larkens]

@Marc2706 Thanks Marc! Glad you like it. One of my favourites. And stands for exactly what I believe in as a photographer: this is in a place in The Netherlands almost nobody visits, but even those places hold some beauty. If you can find it

[Marc2706]

If you have good light conditions, I love film. This photo was taken on a Kodak Tmax 400, Leica M3, Apo Summicron 50

Hope you like it

[Jett129]

@Marc2706 I agree with you 100% but I can’t imagine ever shooting film again. Just curious,how much are you involved with developing the film? Do you send it to a lab,get contact sheets etc.

[Marc2706]

@Jett129 Yes using film is a lot of fun, but most of the time I shoot digital. I started with self developing, printing and scanning at home.But it was too time consuming for me and I hate to sit in front of the computer for the scans. Now I send the film in a lab to develop and scan the film.

Nothing too special, just a quick phone snap, but got lucky with a nice view of Mt Rainier at sunset on the way home the other day.

[Marc2706]

Sometimes I love to use film. Leica M3, 2/50 Apo Summicron, Kodak Tmax 400

@Larkens Really beautiful work my friend. Im in a similar situation.. I hardly go out anymore and seem to just be waiting for something to reignite some passion.. This thread is amazing though and definitely helps! Hope to see some more of your work!

[Sean156]

So glad to have discovered this thread and all of this amazing work. I primarily enjoy landscapes but got some killer shots during my last trip to Japan. Weather was incredible!

[Larkens]

@Spectrum156 thanks!! Glad you like it. It’s normal to have highs and lows in any hobby/passion/etc I think. It will always go to a high after a bit of downtime is my experience. I still photograph, but for work, my 1year old and denim pics for instagram

[Larkens]

@Spectrum156 great light in this one, very nice capture!

[Jett129]

Picture of my wife/Bonnie in Barcelona. I know that it’s posed,but I just like the way it came out.
