How can an image be super sharp and still look vintage?

Hi, everyone:

Siphiwe, great colors on the "Survivor". I knew it was the DF before looking.

Andy, terrific landscape photographs. The parrot capture was super.

Matt, great photos of the bridge. That is a very photogenic view.

JIm, nice collection of film gear you were able to acquire. It all looks to be in minty condition, have fun taking it for a spin.

Ronda, Spain:

This is part of a series from a hike from the New Bridge to the Old Bridge.

Oh, thank you Serge. Didn't waste time with that new passport, hey . Lovely places you are getting to.

Right on both counts Siphiwe. I’m enjoying both these things, as well as the SOOC b&w shots from the Z5.



Cool stuff. Logi stuff ain't cheap but from experience, lasts forever. I've tried just about all of them but Ergo and the MX Masters are what I've settled on. Joys to use. Cans, I'm all over the place.

Aurora australis last night.

The GFX50S, maxxed out at iso12800 ! for 8 secs. This is why I'm always thinking of adding a Zf or a Z6/7/8.
Using the f3.5 PC28mm or my only Medium format native lens the 23mm f4 doesn't help either !

Cleaned up as best as I could in no_noiseAI

We need more complete pictures and description of that Waltham watch!

I live in Waltham. The Waltham Watch Factory, though long since out of business, is part of the city's self-identity. The city holds an annual Steampunk Festival in honor of that heritage. This year it is on May 9. I will try to get some pics.

Wonderful shots Serge - Beautiful place


Thanks, Morten.

It is an amazing place and a great spot to relax and enjoy the views, the sunsets should be stunning.

Nice photos of what appears to be some storm damage.

Siphiwe, the photos are from early December so was using the old passport. I takes a while to process all the files from the trips.

The "new" has to wait a little bit before it is put into action.

Excellent photograph with the 13.5cm f/3.5, great lens.

@JaKo Cool, thanks for the heads up, I may just get lost in ebay looking for one. Maybe JetPens has them, too. Friend of mine is also a pen nerd and got me with their Snoopy pen collection... a Hello Kitty or two fell in too

@NightOwl Cat@ - actually, the cube is an old style inkwell I got from a friend of mine who got me years ago into fountain pens hobby. Still, today I plan to get a bottle of Czech's Absinthe and will definitely drink it to your and other FM-rs health.

Reagan would be so drooling over that Chevelle, the owner really buffed it up for sure. Surprised they didn't get the hood pins painted the color of the car.

Rafael, excellent series of photographs, the Chevelle SS is stunning. The SS is often seen in modern films for good reason, perfect design.

Ray, that is a very crowded fishing spot, nice series of photographs.

JaKo, great photograph of the apéritif, very creative.

Ronda hike continued:





First view of the Arch of Philip V, 1742. It was the only gateway between the two sections of the city until the New Bridge was completed in 1793.





Great views:

As you are in Canada like myself, and also a fan of the Green Faerie, what is your recommendation for the best Absinthe? I a fan of some of the newer Quebec brands, e.g. this one

I can understand that due to the season some may be fed up with flower pics.

But this was an opportunity to test the new to me E 75-150 f3,5 (first two pics) and the AI 50 1,4 (wide open).

These are good lenses.

Ray, I didn't know Walleye ran like Salmon & Trout. I've only fished for them in the deepest parts of Lake Leelanau - upper and lower lake (approx 20 miles long north to south) using various bait. Remember one time sweet corn worked great. That line of fishermen so close to each other makes me think they are snagging fish - is that what they are doing?
