Man Resting

Good stuff, Martin. I like the Delta 400 tonality and contrast. Also, the soft focus in the first is a welcome change from in-your-face digital renditions (some of which are excellent, it must be said).

 

[Martin Carlin]

Cheers Rob yea It seem quite good Ive Just ordered some Ilford DDX developer which is supposed to compliment the film even more so we will have to wait and see. Im quite pleased with it and the FD10 as it stand but thought Ill give the DDX a try to see what it can do.

Nice Martin, the old man and the path is superb. I also like the rich dark fine charcoal likeness of this film. Excellent all round

 

[Martin Carlin]

Thanks Julian I like the film very much So I bought a Bulk roll of It 100ft so should have quite a few more photos to post in the coming week

 

[Pete Askew]

A lovely set and, as Rob says, very nice tonality. One of my favourite films as well. I especially like the shot of the man resting.

 

[John Allen]

Wonderful shots, Martin. If the man sitting had more hair you could claim it was Churchill and sell lots of prints.

Wonderful shots, Martin. If the man sitting had more hair you could claim it was Churchill and sell lots of prints.

Well, it might be Hitchcock after all....

Nice series, nr 2 and 3 are fighting for the 1st place....

 

[Martin Carlin]

Thanks all

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I like the series but the man resting is my favourite. Not a surprise to anyone I think. Very well done Martin.

 

[Martin Carlin]

Thanks Ivar seems that most have chosen this one too Personally I like the first shot of the bluebell they have a short life span and catching it before it has opened up was nice.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I agree to the comments of yours about the bluebell Martin, but what happened to the blue?

 

[Martin Carlin]

Well thats what happens when you shoot B+W film Ivar
