A visit to RIAT.

@weftyarn Don't want yo to get a swelled head but, as usual, they're all really great. The ticket widow picture absolutely floored me. Seeing the hands on top was one of those,looking at photography,holy shit moments. To circle back,if your head gets a little swelled,it would certainly be understandable. After I posted this I went back and looked at it again and realized that the hands are from another picture. Decided not to edit that part out of my original post. Still a great shot.

@weftyarn absolutely love this photo man

[weftyarn]

@Jett129 oh man now i see what you mean. that would have been to good to be true haha

@Bailey which of the 5 do you mean?

[Jett129]

@weftyarn Is there a way to make it look like it's one image,but it has to be seamless. I'm not telling anyone.

[Bailey]

@weftyarn ah the colour one, the one I directly replied to spot on man!

Sometimes I really like taking photos with a vintage film camera. My Leica M3 is from 1959 and is still working perfect. Film was Fuji Acros 100II

I was lucky enough to hit the Fragile Beauty exhibition this afternoon when there was hardly anyone there and total freedom to move around without dodging other people (this never happens to me). Highly recommended for anyone in/near/passing through London – I’ll almost certainly go back before it closes. I hesitate to include my snap below in this thread or in the context of the exhibition, but it gives an impression of the final space.

@Marc2706 that's a cracking good shot. What lens was this if you don't mind me asking?

[Marc2706]

@pechelman thanks a lot Pechelman! It was the 1.4/50 (I), as far as I can remember from 1959

[pechelman]

@Marc2706 thanks!

Really beautiful rendering lens.

love these @Jett129 especially the coca cola one with the distinctive red

Reminds me to share some, it’s been a while.
Portsmouth seaside was beautiful and I was lucky with the light.

Here’s some recent favorites shot on a Leica M5 on various film stocks.

@alexxedge great eye Alex!

[alexxedge]

@derek111 thanks! I appreciate that.

[Jett129]

@weftyarn These days when the lighting is just so photographically unfriendly,I look to B&W if I think I have an image worth working with. And once I get that I test some of the Selective Color stuff. When I took the picture of the Coke sign I anticipated,if it was going to be any good,that it would be with the Selective Color. I always look forward to your photography. Love these as well as your pictures from the IH party.

[weftyarn]

great shots @alexxedge
first is my favorite, love the composition on it and the summer vibe i get from looking at it!

@Jett129 with these selective color shots, is it anticipating or do you anctually actively plan the shots in advance? this one looks like it, perfectly balanced. can imagine having some random red in the background would make post processing a nightmare for example?

@weftyarn thanks! It was from a recent trip back home to Atlanta to see some family, and got out VERY early in the AM. If you’re ever there, this spot is less than a mile from the Guilty Party shop. Highly recommend, it’s run by some awesome folks.
