Yashica D / Kentmere 200 / ID.11

I do like scenes like this. It's all too easy to pass them by with barely a second glance or just say to yourself, "That's interesting." Well done for recording and sharing it, Gianluca.

Perfectly idyllic, Ralph. Like Gianluca I'm looking forward to more.

Thanks Tony. Yes, the D has a simple 3-element lens and is none the worse for it. Gold 200 seems to work much better in medium format than it does in 35mm, almost a completely different in fact.

Not all of it, I must admit. I realised there was a lot going on but certainly not that much. Looking forward to more of the same.......

Hi, ∩O˥ I can't make up my mind about the reflections in this one, Gianluca, not sure whether they make it or break it 🤔

Thanks, Beth. Our autumns aren't as spectacular perhaps as your falls so I thought a bit of shadow would add some extra interest. Glad it worked for you.

Thanks, Beth.

Love The Fabric Shop. The tight framing makes the display look like a surreal montage. Those piercing eyes are quite unnerving. Good work, Gianluca.

Well observed and nicely framed, the figures in the shaft of light add the finishing touch. Great shot, Gianluca. Another mystery though: Escher's stairways are famously never ending. So how did you get up to your vantage point? More importantly, how did you get down? ;)

Thank Gary 👍

Thanks, Gianluca. Ah yes, the blacks. I exposed for the highlights and let the shadows take care of themselves. Tri X is such a beautifully contrasty film stock that it rendered them as you so aptly said: deep and black. Just how I like them in fact with no need to use a yellow filter or post...

Some while ago I made a point of visiting all of London's 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries. A few results of those visits both appeared here and 35mmc. The one that eluded me photographically was Abney Park in North-east London. Great swathes of it were inaccessible because of renovation and...

Thanks for the reminder, Tony. As son's in Australia I should have remembered that. P.S. It certainly wasn't my intention to leave the film in camera for that long.

Very interesting, Ralph. Great write up of your experiences with the EM.
