Impressive photos in the recent sets!
Allen, I really like your last set. I can notice a different approach with your compositions. Especially 1 and 2 stand out.
Cal, beautiful colors and amazing sharpness in the T shots.
Joakim, I like to see your street work. Very nice.
Recordproducti, awesome action shot!!
Retrofocus, excellent b/w work.
Charlie, you should shoot at dusk more often, great colors and atmosphere.
Steve, no. 1 is really awesome. Love it. Also the Q colors seem to be unique within the Leica stable.
Adam, 2 and 4 are my favorites. I also like the effect of the added orange filter.

Busy few weeks for me and my family with school starting back up!
We made one final trip to the shore (beach) and thought it would be good to work on my color with the new (to me) m240. Also, didn't forget how good the MM was
Still working on my color editing after working in BW for a year, so feel free to give tips/critiques!

Hey Chuck,
#1 is amazing. Your color instincts here are right on the money(seeing) and the timing is insanely good. So much to take in in a single image. Processing works here to. Love the way you used the frame and the hint of a larger experience outside the frame with the man on the far left. He also nicely balances the the boy on the far right. The bird and ball in flight are explanation points. Ya got the moment. What a wonderful and complex composition and color is a very important element here. The 240 apparently is working out well for the way you see and work with color.

Thank you, Allen! Some confessions. I watched this scene for a bit and have several variations. The guy in the green chair had just sat down and I was pissed! How dare he, sit where he wanted on a public beach! It was really hard for me to exclude him because I wanted this composition. So he stayed...a concession. The ball in mid air was intentional, the seagull was luck
In looking at this for the 10th time, I think I'm a bit hot on my highlights. Color is tough, but I like the challenge!
I've really been enjoying Alex Webb's work lately as I dive into color. His compositions are mind blowing, so I definitely had him on the brain when shooting this. I also keep this Freelander quote tucked away: “When you take a picture you haven’t a clue that it is going to be what it is. Maybe you have a clue but you don’t really know. There are too many possibilities. Part of the game is how many balls you can juggle. It is to me. When you are 12 you can juggle two. Maybe when you are 50 you can juggle five. That is an interesting concept to me: how much I can put in and still make it pull together?”

Chuck I think it's not near as strong an image without the guy on the far left. Luck is all part of it. Putting yourself in the right place at the right time and to have the right skills to capture that moment when you see it is what it is all about. I know the more I get out there and the more I work on my vision and timing the luckier I seem to get. I'm sure you feel similar?
I think some of the blown highlights help add to the feeling of a hot sunny day. The blown stuff on the orange flag and the gulls rt wing are not an issue but actually help communicate intense sun.
Getting to work instinctively, I think Bresson refers to it as a "developed instinct. It's when technique and vision get to point where you are not thinking, you are just responding to elements in a fraction of a second whether they are conscious or in many cases subconscious. You as a photographer get to a point where you totally trust your instincts. Thinking is not in your creative process. Instinctively creating is.
Alex is amazing. As is Maisel, Meyerowitz (color street work) and Haas.
Now we just have to get you out on the street with these sensitivities. (hint, hint, nudge, nudge)

Always appreciate your thoughts man. Truly helps me grow. It's these sort of conversations that become part of a collective voice that helps me push further.
There is an Alex Webb exhibit in NYC. I'm heading up on October 10th to see it. Really looking forward to it...and pizza! Maybe I'll take to the streets with the camera!

Went shooting yesterday and realized too late that I accidentally grabbed a slide film instead of a color negative film. Now what? I didn't want to vest additionally in E-6 chemistry neither I wanted to bring the film to an outside lab. Fortunately I found a link online which described an alternative cross-process method which should get close to decent results with C-41 chemistry combined with B&W developer. Risky thing in this process is to unwrap the half-developed film and hold it under light to fog it before doing the remaining color development. I further modified this procedure by replacing the C-41 color developer with RA-4 color print developer which uses the same developer as in the E-6 slide development process.
First try, risky, but it actually worked very well. The slides only had a slight greenish tint which I was easily able to remove in digital post processing. Definitely a good learning experience with fun!
Leica M7, Leica 50/2, Fujichrome Astia 100F slide film, developed with Xtol and RA-4 developers.

Nice detail of the 'damage' you've done to your MM there. Wearing away, frame by frame.
