Camera Talk

Hi all,

I remember when my best friend couldn't believe that I met a Russian girl and I was going to come to Moscow... well... after 13 years after that guess what... He just signed last Friday.

Some photos of that day and yesterday, his mom and kids came with him.

Firsts are done with Kodak Medalist II in the cruise over the river, some samples.


Yara.


Ivan.


Javi, Elena, Gloria, Ivan y Yara.


Gloria and Alex.

These are from yesterday, Tachihara 4x5 and Heliar.


Elena.

Here it should come one from Yara but I got a purple spot in the negative in her face, I will try to find someone to recover the photo if possible.

And three dry plates 9x12, same old soviet stock.


Javi.


Yara y Elena.

Consecuances of blinking...

Ivan.

Nice skin tones on the first two photos, good for Javi and very soft for the ladies.

It was very good to have them here, still one meeting remaining so who knows if more photos will come.

Thank you for looking,
Alex.

Ivan blinked, I loved your explanations

Felicidades!

Thanks for sharing with us, Alex. This is one time 35mm outdoes LF.

Gracias, Pablo.

You are welcome, Graham. 35mm? Medalist II is 6x9 and it's really hard to beat that's true

Oops! What was I thinking?

I guess the format, how is going the garden? So many flowers you have I would like to shoot with plates))

The garden is just over the top of the hill, now it will slowly start to shed it's clothes in preparation for autumn. You are welcome anytime, but I recommend June.

Nice of them to show up on a sunny day. Your plate photos are still doing well for the age of the stock.
