Asian architecture is so fascinating. I love how geometric it can be. This is a dramatic shot too that feels wider than it really is.

Thank you all, I've been trying to improve my ultra-wide compositions recently, because even though I thought I was doing it right all along, I lacked an appealing foreground most of the time. Just had to keep experimenting.

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated. With anything I post, please feel free to critique, I am always looking to improve my work.

I am really pleased with the XF 18mm on my X-Pro 1. I have 4 primes for this system now but I still enjoy using the 18mm for street photography quite a bit. It definitely isn't the "best" lens I've ever used from a pure image quality standpoint but it's also far from the worst. On its own...

Yep that will do the trick, and most C-41 films look better overexposed anyways. I usually only shoot them at box speed or higher if the lighting calls for it, but otherwise I overexpose a stop on purpose. I should get around to trying CineStill film sometime, I know the guys that are...

As mentioned, there is a definitely dark and brooding atmosphere greatly accentuated by the presence of grain. I've never processed Tri-X in Rodinal before, is that the typical response?

I must admit I don't have the Hexar anymore, I still regret selling it, because it's just such a wonderful camera and I enjoyed shooting with it for a few years. @Hamish I bought the Pakon in late December admittedly because of the flurry of interest in them, it seemed like a viable option for...

Brian the Hexar AF is a fixed lens camera with a primo 35mm f/2. Supposedly it is akin to an early Leica Summicron but I've also heard that it's designed after the Nikkor 3.5cm f/1.8 S-mount lens.

Got my Pakon scanner back up and running, and I scanned in this old frame that I liked from my Hexar AF. Shot wide open on Ilford Delta 100.

Taken at Lower Yosemite Falls this past January. It was a particularly dry winter here in California, and it was never more obvious than visiting Yosemite in the middle of January. A time when there should have been snow everywhere, there was barely any to be seen on the peaks. The waterfalls...

Well thank you all for the feedback. I too agree that the saturation was a bit much for me; but just having color in my image is a lot for me to deal with on its own! (I'm a monochrome guy).

I captured this image a little while back on a particularly rare evening with enough clouds to make a dramatic sunset. I don't often do exposure blends, and I know this one isn't perfect, so I welcome any constructive critiques on improving the final product. I used a 5DmkIII and 16-35mm f/2.8L...

I know this spot, been here a few times myself. I really like the dramatically wide feel to the image and how your random tourist is nearly a silhouette. It adds a bit of a pensive mood to the shot.

Thank you all for the kind welcome, I can already tell I'm going to like this group :). I will start contributing some work very soon when I have a little more time to post. Though photography is my main passion (and source of income) I am making something of a lateral move in the creative...

Hello everyone! I just recently came across this forum and I have to admit I was really drawn in by the name, but then I started to browse around and see the kind of content you all post and I was enticed to sign up. I participate fairly regularly on a number of photography related forums, but...
