Critique Welcomed Lady Reading In Front of the Isthmus at Sundown

[Brian Moore]

Don't recall if I posted this before. Apologies if I have.

Catalina Island, some 22 miles off the coast, is made up of two parts joined by an isthmus.

Olympus XA3 and Kodak Tri-X 400 pushed to 1600 and processed in Rodinal.

Definitely seen it before, Brian, though whether here or elsewhere I can't say. Looks like she's holding the sun in her arms...well, reading can be enlightening. Beautiful picture!

Thanks, Rob.

 

[Pete Askew]

I really liked it last time too.

 

[Brian Moore]

Sorry...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Don't apologise - it's a cracker!

Just noticed it's from an XA3, which reminds me I have one and must put another roll through it. Great wee camera.

Absolutely you must, Rob. I carry either the XA or the XA3 almost everywhere with me. Small and good.

 

[Detlef Kuhl]

That is the first time for me to like it.
Just identified a XA in the cellar. Never just it so far. Got it with a bunch of cameras and lenses some time ago. I should give it a try, but I'm sure not getting such a good result.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Detlef, the XA3 can be a fine camera, better than I thought it could be. Give it a try.

 

[Pete Askew]

I'll fish a roll of film out of the fridge for you tomorrow Detlef! So, bring it with you!

 

[Brian Moore]

I'm sure not getting such a good result.

That's very kind of you Detlef. For what it's worth my only involvement in creating this image was to point the camera and press the button. The XA3 did the rest. I'm sure you'll get good results with yours.

 

[Detlef Kuhl]

Might be. I tried two weeks to process a Kodak TRI-X used with my SLR, trying to discover analog film. I'll post a photo of this. One of the next trials will be the use of the Olympus.

Im looking forward to seeing your Tri-X pictures, Detlef!

Let's make it an XA3 day - I'll put a roll in. I'm meeting my phot buddy, Klaudia, in Rose Street, behind Princess Street, where she has a street assignment.

 

[Bob Jarman]

The use of film by forum members is refreshing and a pleasure for the eye. You're tempting me to reassemble a kit.

I would like to be on the same bandwagon Rob, but since you evidently exclude everyone who does not have, what was it, XA3, I'll have to pass as I only have Canons to shoot with.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

And Brian, it is a fine image, but I do not know what is Isthmus

Christmas for atheists...

Really, I thought ateists do not celebrate Christmas. It should not exist in their vocabulary!
